Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 600. Thelma might be little, but she’s got big ideas. She’s sweet, gentle, and full of love—but don’t be fooled, she’s also the mastermind behind the great puppy pen escape. Her sister Louise is often left behind wondering what just happened while Thelma trots off, proud and pleased with herself. She and Louise were found dumped in a truck yard, and while we don’t know anything about their life before that, Thelma’s already shown us who she is: smart, playful, and determined. She learns quickly—faster than her sister, actually—and it’s fun to watch her little brain at work. She loves food puzzles (though they don’t last long) and wrestling with her furry friends in the yard. When she gets the zoomies, she’ll happily jump on the bed or couch and boop her favorite human with her nose! Thelma loves being outside with her humans and dog siblings, staying alert to unfamiliar noises and people. She does well on walks with her harness, and while she enjoys being near her people, she also likes her space. She’s shy around new people, needing a little time to warm up, but tasty treats—especially frozen blueberries—go a long way in winning her over. Because she can spook easily, Thelma will need a securely fenced yard or someone willing to keep​ her leashed while she outside. For her safety, tie-outs aren’t a good option. She’s best suited for a home with older children who can give her the space she needs as she adjusts, and no shared walls, as she may be vocal when excited or mid-play. Thelma is the kind of dog who figures things out fast, loves with her whole heart, and will make her new family feel incredibly lucky to have her. Thelma is from Texas.
