Hi there, I’m Thorpe, will you be my forever family?

I’m a happy boy. When the great folks of TSBR took me out of the shelter, I was kinda skinny, but my foster family took me in and fattened me up a bit. So now that I’m not so skinny, I’m extra handsome. I have 2 furry sisters that I just love to play with. We run around the back yard, jump and push each other around but it’s lots of fun.

I’m a    pretty fast learner.    My foster dad doesn’t like it when I go into the yummy smelling food place. He told me just a few times to “Stay out of my kitchen”. So now I just sit in the doorway so I can get good whiffs of food, but none of my humans are really big on sharing their food with me   (  big ole meanies).   I’m really good in the crate now. They just tell me to crate up and I usually go right in.    

I stay off the furniture, but since I can’t sit next to them on the couch or sleep with them in their beds, I am right at their feet or real close on the beds I share with my sisters. I have 3 human brothers that I love to play with too, sometimes I get a little rough with them but dad says it’s ok because they’re pretty big (14 to 18 years old). My foster parents think that I probably should stick with a family that has a bigger kind of kiddos.

They say I should have an active family who will take me for long walks on the beach, but the neighborhood works too (what’s a beach and where do I find one).    I really love my sisters and would love to have a furry brother or sister of my own to play with. 

So if you like me (EVERYBODY does), then let the really great folks at TSBR know so we can meet.

Your soon to be BFF, Thorpe.
