Thelma is a bright, driven working dog with a heart full of devotion and a mind that never stops seeking a task. This girl thrives on structure, mental stimulation, and hands-on training. She’s not just looking for a home—she’s looking for a partner. Thelma needs an experienced dog owner who understands what it means to guide a working dog and give her the job, purpose, and engagement she craves. With the right person, she’ll excel at whatever is asked of her and form an incredibly strong bond in the process.
Because of her intensity and drive, Thelma isn’t an ideal fit for homes with small children or small pets such as cats. She’s best suited for someone who appreciates her working-dog nature and can offer plenty of training, enrichment, and consistency.
If you’re an experienced handler looking for a loyal, intelligent companion to train and grow with, Thelma may be exactly the partner you’ve been searching for.
