About Thelma

Thelma finds herself needing a new home, and she deserves a loving environment where she can thrive. As a timid and submissive Border Collie, she often retreats in unfamiliar situations but transforms into a sweet and gentle companion once comfortable. Her ideal family should be experienced with shy dogs, as she'll need a patient and understanding approach. Thelma is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and does well on a lead. She's house trained and gets along with other dogs but should not be placed in a home with small children due to her delicate nature. Bringing her into a household with cats is not advisable, as she's never been exposed to them. If you're interested in fostering or temporary fostering Thelma, please reach out — she’s waiting for her chance at a new beginning!
