My story

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

Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VT

Good with dogs: Yes
Good with cats: Unknown, likely yes
Good with kids: Yes, dog savvy children
Crate trained: Unknown (Has not been regularly crated)
House Trained: Mostly (1-2 accidents/week; just needs time and consistency)

Sweet and chill, Thelma has an abundance of love to give. On the quieter side, she is obedient, smart, and eager to please.

Any home should work for Thelma. With the ability to play and to relax with her toys and her people, she should fit in well with any household. Dog friendly, she loves to play and run with other pups almost as much as she enjoys playing with kids. Thelma is still learning not to jump up excitedly when greeting new people.

Thelma will alert by jingling door bells when she wants to go outside. Her accidents are very infrequent and typically only happen when she does not want to go out in the rain. While she does great on a leash, she has not been regularly crated or exposed to cats. Thelma will hide and hoard the treats that she is not ready to eat immediately. While she especially relishes lying outside in the sun, she should be monitored as she does have some history of digging at fences.

Loving and adaptable, Thelma cannot wait to move into her forever home!

More about this rescue

Our mission at Last Hope K9 Rescue is to save every possible dog we can from being euthanized within high-volume kill shelters throughout the U.S.

As the literal “last hope” of nearly every animal we serve, we work tirelessly to place each one within a stable, loving environment that can act as either their forever home, or the gateway to their forever home. We also strive to ensure that all of our adoptions and foster placements are the optimal fit for everyone involved, including our dogs. This leads to our second goal: enriching human lives through canine companionship. To us, you can’t have one without the other.

Lastly, we promote animal welfare by lobbying important initiatives that both protect and give voice to the voiceless. By fostering an environment of collaboration with other organizations that share our goals, and working together instead of in competition, we find that we accomplish more.
