There are toys to destroy, yards to explore, humans to charm and approximately four million things she hasn't learned yet.<br/><br/>And that last part is important.<br/><br/>Thelma is very young and still needs someone willing to teach her all the boring grown-up dog stuff: manners, walking nicely, coming when called and occasionally accepting that the entire world cannot be investigated simultaneously.<br/><br/>What she already brings to the arrangement is happiness, affection, curiosity, energy and an impressive commitment to having fun.<br/><br/>So Thelma is looking for a new partner in crime.<br/><br/>Preferably one with a yard, a sense of humor and excellent stamina.<br/><br/>No convertible required.<br/>This dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement. As a U.S. nonprofit, Hope 4 La Pawz, handles all logistics and provides full behavioral and medical info in advance.
