Thor the Therapy Dog

Thor is a 4-year-old German Shepherd therapy dog who was raised since birth by Lisa and Steven Klink. Lisa is a special education teacher at Schuyler Colfax Middle School in Wayne, NJ. Thor was trained to be a Seeing Eye dog but that was not his true destiny. Thor was just too social and not quite a match for the Seeing Eye so the Klinks decided to adopt him. Lisa helped Thor to obtain his therapy dog certificate through Bright and Beautiful where he passed with flying colors. Since then, he spends his Fridays with his family at Schuyler Colfax.

Becoming a Certified Therapy Dog was Thor's destiny. His gentle and patient demeanor makes everyone fall in love with him. He is always happy to be at school, with his tail-wagging, making sure he visits all of his friends (and of course getting lots of treats!). He loves getting brushed, having the students read to him, playing ball in the gym, and listening to classroom lessons while his mommy teaches. Thor makes everyone happy and relieves stress for both the students and staff.

Thor has helped so many people over the years and now he needs our help. He was recently diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease and is experiencing partial paralysis that needs to be evaluated by a veterinary neurologist. He will need intensive care, treatment, and surgery. Thor is an incredibly special dog who needs our love and support to help him and his family in their time of need. Please consider helping our sweet Thorkins so he can continue to bring love, joy, and happiness to all that know him.

Thank you!!!
