About Thistle
Thistle is a spirited 3-year-old female who weighs 32 lbs. As a German Wirehaired Pointer and Terrier mix, she’s been through some tough times before being rescued, but her spirit remains unbroken. With some funky bald spots from her past, she’s now looking for a loving home that understands her unique beauty. Despite her scars, she deserves all the love and care you can offer. This young lady thrives on structure and requires an adopter with some dog ownership experience. Thistle needs significant daily exercise—around 90 minutes—along with mental stimulation. Expect to engage her with training games and provide her opportunities for socialization. While she’s yet to fully adjust to city living, many dogs learn to adapt over time. Thistle is likely house trained and gets along well with other dogs, though her interactions will be evaluated further. We believe she can coexist with cats, but it’s still uncertain. She’s a gentle soul and comfortable around children, especially when guided by adult supervision. Up to date on all vaccinations, she is spayed, microchipped, and ready for her new adventure. If you’re ready to provide a stable, loving home for Thistle, she’d love to meet you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
