Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MISS THELMA--THELMA'S STORY--THROWN AWAY!!! THELMA IS A, 4 YEAR OLD, 65 POUND, BLACK SHEPHERD MIX PUP!!!, "WE DON'T WANT HER" WERE THE WORDS THELMA'S FAMILY TOLD THE SHELTER VOLUNTEER FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN THEY BROUGHT THELMA, WHO WAS JUST A WIGGLY, BOUNCY , ADORABLE PUPPY TO THE SHELTER. THEY SIGNED THE PAPERS, HANDED THE VOLUNTEER THELMA AND WALKED AWAY. THEY THREW THIS LITTLE HAPPY GIRL AWAYJUST BECAUSE THEY DECIDED THEY DIDN'T WANT A DOG!!! THELMA DID NOT DESERVE SUCH DISLOYALTY FROM HER FAMILY. THIS WAS THE FAMILY THAT HAD PROMISED TO TAKE CARE AND LOVE THELMA, THEY LIED, THEY BROKE THEIR PROMISE. THE TRAGEDY IS THAT FOUR YEARS HAVE PASSED AND THELMA IS STILL IN THE SHELTER. SHE IS SAFE AND CARED FOR BUT A SHELTER IS NO LIFE FOR ANY DOG. IT IS UNIMAGINABLE TO US HOW ANYONE COULD BE SO HEARTLESS AND CRUEL AS TO LEAVE A HAPPY, LOVING, LITTLE GIRL LIKE THELMA. THELMA DID NOT DESERVE SUCH BETRAYAL, IT WAS NOT HER FAULT, SHE DID NOTHING WRONG JUST A FAMILY WHO WERE COLD AND UNCARING, A FAMILY WHO BROKE THEIR PROMISE. THE FIRST TIME YOU SEE THELMA YOU WILL NOTICE WHAT A BEAUTIFUL GIRL SHE IS. SHE HAS THE PERFECT BALANCED SHEPHERD CONFIRMATION, WITH A PROUD REGAL STANCE. SHE HAS THE SWEETEST FACE WITH BEAUTIFUL DEEP GOLDEN EYES . THEY HAVE A KIND, GENTLE LOOK AND IF THELMA COULD SPEAK YOU WOULD SWEAR SHE IS SAYING "LOVE ME", IN OUR OPINION IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO. THELMA IS INDEED A BEAUTIFUL SHEPHERD BUT HER TRUE BEAUTY IS HER HEART AND SPIRIT. THELMA IS THE ULTIMATE COMPANION. SHE IS GENTLE, LOVING AND AS AFFECTIONATE A PUP AS YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO FIND. SHE IS A "CUDDLER" AND WHAT WE CALL A SOFT DOG. SHE WILL COME AND SIT A CLOSE TO YOU AS SHE CAN GET , REST HER HEAD IN YOUR LAP, LOOK AT YOU WITH THOSE EYES ASKING FOR A PAT OR A RUB WHICH SHE ADORES. SHE WILL SNUGGLE IN, CLOSE HER EYES WITH SWEET SATISFACTION KNOWING SHE IS WITH THE PERSON SHE LOVES MOST IN THE WORLD--YOU!!! BEING WITH A FAMILY WHO LOVES HER IS HER ONLY WISH. SHE IS A GENTLE SOUL WHO LONGS TO BE A PART OF A FAMILY. THELMA WOULD ALSO DELIGHT IN BEING HER OWNER'S ONLY COMPANION, WE GUESS THAT SHE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO SHARE HER FAMILY. SHE IS HOWEVER FINE WITH CATS. WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLED FOR IS FINE WITH THELMA, IF SHE IS WITH YOU SHE'S HAPPY. SHE LOVES EARLY MORNING OR LATE AFTERNOON WALKS. THELMA IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND WILL MATCH YOU STEP FOR STEP. HER GAIT IS SMOOTH AND FLOWING, TRUE TO THE SHEPHERD BREED. THELMA IN MOTION IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH. THERE IS ANOTHER PART TO THIS GREAT PUP'S PACKAGE AND YOU WILL NOTICE IT AFTER SPENDING ONLY A SHORT TIME WITH THELMA. THE SHEPHERD BREED IS ONE OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT OF BREEDS AND THELMA HAS INTELLIGENT COVERED. SHE IS A VERY ALERT PUP, AWEAR OF HER SURROUNDINGS, A BREEZE TO TRAIN AS SHE DELIGHTS IN PLEASING THOSE SHE LOVES. THE POTENTIAL FOR THELMA IS HUGE. AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH THELMA WE FEEL THAT HER PERFECT HOME WOULD BE ONE THAT IS CALM AND EASY GOING, WHERE THELMA COULD SPEND THE DAY PLAYING IN HER BIG FENCED YARD, TAKING LONG EASY WALKS OR NAPPING IN THE SUN ON HER DECK. THELMA JUST NEEDS AN OWNER WHO WILL REALIZE WHAT THELMA HAS BEEN THROUGH, AN OWNER WHO WILL SHOWER THIS PUP WITH LOVE EVERYDAY SHE IS A PART OF THEIR LIFE, LETTING HER KNOW THAT SHE IS SAFE AND WILL NEVER BE THROWN AWAY AGAIN. WE KNOW THAT THELMA'S MIRACLE IS OUT THERE, AN OWNER WHO REALIZES THAT NO DOG SHOULD SPEND 4 YEARS IN A SHELTER. A FAMILY WHO WILL OPEN THEIR HEART AND HOME TO THELMA AND LOVE HER---SHE DESERVES NOTHING LESS!!!! THELMA ONLY HAS ONE REQUEST AND HER EYES TOLD US THIS THE FIRST TIME WE SAW HER. SHE WANTS HER FAMILY, TO BE SOMEONE'S CHERISHED COMPANION, TO BE A PART OF SOMEONE'S LIFE AGAIN. SHE WANTS TO BE LOVED AS DEEPLY AS SHE LOVES. IF YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR LIFE A PUP WHO IS THE ULTIMATE FAMILY COMPANION, A LOVING, GENTLE, KIND GIRL WITH A BEAUTIFUL HEART AND SPIRIT, A PUP WHO WILL DEVOTE HER LIFE TO HER FAMILY THEN LOOK NO FURTHER , THELMA IS YOUR PUP.
