Meet Thelma
Beautiful Thelma and her sister Louise were found as young pups living on a construction site. They were being fed and were relatively safe until the people started moving into the houses. They didn’t want stray dogs hanging around and so Thelma and Louise had to be moved to safety. Louise has been adopted for some time.
Thelma is coming back to our care as she is struggling around the regular young visitors to her home. Thelma arrived in the UK in November 25. We are looking for a quieter home without children or teens plus. She is currently in East Sussex but can be transported throughout the UK to her new home.
Thelma is a Ridgeback mix so on the larger side. She loves humans once she gets to know them and she loves a cuddle and playing with her toys. Thelma is happy when meeting children out and about and was fine with the child active in her care in her Serbian pension, she just struggles around younger and louder children in the home.
Thelma would prefer to be the only dog in the home, having all of the attention. Whilst Thelma has been curious of cats, her adopter feels she could live with a dog hardy cat.
Whilst Thelma loves her walks and gets excited to go out and about, she can be a little reactive to dogs so support would be given from the team on focus work to help Thelma relax and rely on her handler for assurance. As you can see from the picture on her album, she’s happy walking with dogs that she has met several times. She loves a rural walk where she can have a good sniff and explore. We are confident that this can be worked on as she’s a dog that is eager to please.
Thelma is a gentle and intelligent girl who enjoys a fuss but is equally an independent dog, she is quite happy to take herself away for a lie down/quiet time. Thelma is clean in the home and can be left for around 3 to 4 hours happily.
Thelma is spayed and vaccinated.
All our dogs are tested for the following prior to travel: Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Erlichiosis, Lyme Disease, Brucellosis (since 11th June 2021).
