THELMA

Description

This beautiful girl is Thelma, a 7 month old female Doberman/German Shepherd mixed with maybe some farm type herdy dog and a dash of hound. Thelma currently weighs in at approximately 36 pounds, and has growing to do and weight to gain! We expect her to be close to 50 pounds once she is done, give or take a pound or two or three or four!Thelma and her sister (Louise) were brought to Angels by a good Samaritan who found them all alone on the side of the road. We assume they came from some sort of farm life evidenced by the amount of feed corn and green stuff that came out of them the first couple of days in our care. Regardless, social, happy, and friendly are the best words to describe these girlies. Thelma is unfailingly sweet and friendly, bouncy and happy. Even as skinny as she was, she just wanted to say hello to everyone. Thelma is basically a big bouncy baby pup. She rides well in the car and, now that she has experienced a leash for probably the first time, is getting the hang of that as well! She has not been at all reactive with other dogs and would probably do fine with a canine companion, though would likely do best with a boyfriend. A girl isn't out of the question though, but in any case, a meet and greet will be strictly required before placement with another dog. Cats are a complete unknown, but we will be more than willing to gauge her reaction to one upon request. Thelma will need a family ready to take on a puppy. Despite the fact that she sort of looks grown up, she definitely is not. Training classes so that she and you can learn together, would be ideal. She seems like she would relate well to respectful children, but littles might be easily knocked over by her puppy bounces, so a little older than toddler is best. She will need all the things any puppy would - socialization, training, structure and boundaries. It is likely that she hasn't seen much of this big wide world, and will benefit greatly from an owner who will help her be the best she can be. She is active and curious and deserves a home that will involve her in all the things. With her apparent breed mix, you will likely get in return, a dog who loves you until the end of time. One that will easily earn the title 'velcro' dog. So much loyalty.
