About Thistle

Thistle is a delightful, three-year-old, mixed-breed dog with a lovely black coat. At first, she can be a bit timid around new people and tends to get startled by fast movements, so a home without small children would be ideal. But once she warms up, Thistle becomes a sweet companion who enjoys lounging on laps and displaying her affectionate nature. She is currently bonded with another dog named Clover, and they find comfort in each other's company, often cuddling together. While Thistle does get scared when dogs approach her too closely, she shows curiosity and affection once they move away. With her adoption fee waived, you’ll find that she comes spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. If you're looking for a gentle and loving companion, Thistle might just be the perfect match.
