Thelma and her sister Louise arrived at the rescue as feral puppies, and after ten years, they’re still hoping for stability and peace. Both have grown into extremely shy, senior dogs who need a calm, patient adopter—a home led by someone familiar with working with timid dogs. Thelma remains gentle and non-aggressive, but wide open spaces or an unsecured yard simply won't work; a fenced yard is absolutely necessary, as she’s still figuring out how to walk on a leash and keep her bearings. Loud or busy households wouldn’t suit her temperament. She’s never shown aggression, but don’t expect quick cuddles or instant trust—her loyalty comes quietly, in small wins. She will do best where routines are predictable, and time isn’t rushed. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
