My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Meet Thelma!

Personality: Gentle Shy Sweetheart
Likes: Peaceful walks, soft voices, and gentle hands
Vibe: A tender soul who blooms beautifully with kindness

Thelma may start off a little shy, but with a sprinkle of patience and a kind heart, she blossoms into one of the most loving, loyal companions you could imagine.

She adores going on walks to get all her important sniffs in, and once she feels comfortable, she’ll rest her head softly in your lap—a true heart-melter. Thelma walks beautifully on leash, takes treats with the sweetest manners, and settles into a wonderfully calm rhythm as she gets to know you.

Fun Fact: When Thelma feels extra cozy, she does a slow, happy tail wag that could calm anyone’s soul.

Come meet Thelma—your gentle, loyal, lap-resting sweetheart is waiting.

Adoption fees are currently waived! All pets are spay/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped!
