My story

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

Hi, I’m Thelma!



I’m a 9 month old (as of January 2026), female hound mix, weighing in at 45 lbs. Just the right size for adventures and cuddles . I have a tan and white coat and my best feature? My big, brown doe eyes.   People say they can melt hearts, and I may just use that to my advantage sometimes.



I’m a smart pup and already learned “sit” very quickly ! I can be a little shy with new people and unfamiliar situations at first, but once I feel safe, my gentle and sweet personality really shines . I came to A Home of Their Own Animal Rescue a bit later in my puppyhood. I’m still learning about the world, but I’m making great progress every day.



I surprised everyone by doing much better on leash after just one outing , and I’m a calm, easy rider in the car



I’ll be a loyal, loving companion ready to grow with you so If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful hound with a gentle heart and lots of potential, I just might be your girl.  .
