Thor and Mervin {Broward County Animal Care}
With Broward County Animal Care at capacity, two senior dogs are hoping to find loving families willing to give them a second chance.
This week’s featured adoptable pets are Thor and Mervin, two 7-year-old dogs with distinct personalities, ready to settle into their forever homes.
Thor (A2479444) is a 60-pound, neutered male Alaskan Malamute with a fluffy coat and distinctive eyes — one blue and one brown.
Thor is calm, friendly and affectionate, but he prefers a peaceful environment and appreciates having his personal space respected. He can become uncomfortable when disturbed or handled roughly.
Because of his boundaries and previously reported incidents involving small dogs, Thor is recommended for an adult-only household or a home with older children or teenagers and no small dogs.
Mervin (A2475156) is a 55-pound, neutered male American Staffordshire terrier mix who enjoys affection, leisurely walks and spending time with people.
Despite being 7 years old, Mervin still has a playful side. He enjoys rolling around in the grass, getting belly rubs and leaning into people for attention.
Mervin is also housebroken, well-mannered and comfortable walking on a leash, making him a potential companion for someone seeking a relaxed and affectionate dog.
As an added benefit, Mervin is sponsored by The Pet Project, which provides free food, vaccinations, monthly preventive care and reduced-cost medical care for life following his adoption.
Both dogs are available for adoption at Broward County Animal Care, 2400 SW 42nd St. in Fort Lauderdale.
The shelter is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
All animals adopted through Broward County Animal Care are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Adopters pay only $25 for the required Broward County registration tag.
