In the shelter’s words
Thornton is new to the rescue. He is currently in a foster home with two other dogs (females) and he is doing great. He is extremely sweet & loving. He’s approximately 60-65 pounds and 3 years old. He was found wandering the streets of Menifee and ended up following a little boy home from school. The single mom could not keep him because of her landlord and reached out to rescues to help her. Thornton has come a long way in the couple of weeks he’s been with us. He arrived extremely shut down and depressed and now he lights up when he knows he’s going for a walk Or whenever he sees his foster. We will update the bio as we get to know him, but if you would like to meet him, please do an application on our website at: https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html
