Meet Thelma, a gentle and timid Chihuahua seeking a patient forever home. After about three months in foster care, Thelma has shown remarkable progress, transforming from a scared little soul who would have accidents when picked up to one who now loves being close to her foster. She still struggles with trusting and won't come when called or take treats from a hand just yet, so she needs an understanding adopter who can offer her the time and space to grow comfortable. This sweet girl truly shines around preteens and gets along well with other animals. She finds solace in burrowing deep under blankets, seeking security. If you have a quiet, pressure-free home and the compassion to help Thelma thrive at her own pace, she is ready to meet you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
