About Thea Urgent

Thea is a two-year-old Terrier/Hound mix with a bright mind and energy to spare. Surrendered to the shelter as a puppy along with her brother, she’s been waiting for nearly a year. Her brother has since been adopted, leaving Thea alone and struggling to cope with the noise and stress of shelter life. Her anxiety has grown, and she’s starting to lose her spark in confinement. It’s clear that Thea is far too smart and active for kennel living—she craves structure, mental stimulation, and companionship. She’s resilient, eager to learn, and quick to bond with people when given a chance. A professional trainer is already committed to guiding her transition, ready to support both her and her foster family for at least four weeks. A home with routine and activity would help Thea settle and begin to trust again. Rescue Without Borders is ready to pull her from the shelter immediately if a committed foster steps up. Everything you need to support Thea will be provided—she just needs that open door. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
