Like many breeder release dogs, the world is still very new to her. She is shy at first, but underneath that cautious exterior is a very loving and gentle girl. When she relaxes and allows you to pet her, she simply melts.<br/><br/>Thelma is looking for a quiet, patient home where she can continue to blossom at her own pace. She has never lived in a home before and is still learning everyday things like walking on a leash and navigating a household. Because of this, she must have another confident dog in the home to act as her mentor and show her the ropes. A secure fenced yard will also be important to help keep her safe while she gains confidence.<br/><br/>While Thelma may take some time to fully come out of her shell, we know that with patience and kindness she will continue to make wonderful progress. She may never be the type of dog who wants to go to busy cafés or crowded events, but she will be a loyal companion who will love her people deeply.<br/><br/>Thelma is currently in a foster home, where her personality is beginning to shine. She enjoys being near her people and absolutely loves food and car rides—she happily hops into the minivan for an adventure. She’s learning from the other dogs in the home, including a helpful Lab who patiently holds the dog door open for her and a fellow Cocker who shows her the way.<br/><br/>Her foster family says Thelma has started to show little glimpses of her personality that make everyone smile. She likes to supervise activity in the kitchen, will bark if she thinks someone should share their snack, and even picked up a toy the other day—an exciting milestone for a dog who is just beginning to discover play. She also has the classic Cocker traits: those adorable ears, a tendency to snore loudly, and an expressive face that sometimes makes people think she looks sad (she isn’t—she just has that classic Cocker expression!).<br/><br/>Watching shy dogs like Thelma discover the world and slowly reveal their personalities is one of the most rewarding journeys. Her future family will need patience, understanding, and another friendly dog to guide her—but in return, they will gain a sweet, devoted companion who will love them forever.<br/>Please read our Breeder Release article on our Resources page prior to applying. <br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: $550<br/><br/>To adopt the FIRST STEP is to complete an APPLICATION. <br/><br/>Adopters must be 24 years of age.
