Here’s what you should know about this special boy:

Thunder is a 7-year-old Scottish Terrier who came to us due to some major life changes in his family. He spent his life being deeply loved and adored — and it shows. Thunder truly is the very best boy.

He is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and his recent bloodwork and urinalysis were excellent. Thunder will, however, require ongoing care for his chronic skin allergies.

Managing Thunder’s Allergies
Caring for a dog with allergies means committing to lifelong management. Thunder requires weekly immunotherapy injections (done easily at home) that are custom-made from his allergy test results. He also benefits from routine topical care such as wiping his paws after being outside, and occasional medicated baths during flare-ups.

Because of his immunotherapy, Thunder should have titer testing rather than standard vaccinations. He also needs to stay on his current food. These needs should be factored into both his daily care and financial planning. His routine monthly costs as well as care for flare ups should be a consideration for those interested in adopting. Regular titer testing and follow-up appointments should also be included when budgeting for his care.

Why Thunder Deserves the Best Life
Thunder is a true social butterfly — both with people and with other dogs. He has a laid-back, confident personality. He loves exploring outdoors, then curling up for a nap where he snores like a champ!

He is house-trained, rides well in the car, and does great for vet visits. While he’s comfortable being crated, he is such a respectful, well-adjusted boy that he doesn’t really need it. We simply cannot say enough good things about him!

Thunder’s Ideal Home

• Another dog buddy and a securely fenced yard.

• Housing without shared walls (condos/apartments will not be considered). While he’s generally quiet, his big bark during playtime wouldn’t be ideal in those settings.
