She will just melt when you pet her. She's looking for a home where she can blossom. Someone that will be patient with her, as she has never lived in a home or walked on a leash. She must have another dog in the home to act as a mentor. Yes, she will come out of her shell over time. How long? I'm sure months. With that said, she won't be a dog to bring to cafe's or children's sporting events. Thelma is a dog that will love you forever. <br/><br/>We had a post on facebook and the comments were that she was sad. Thelma is not sad at all. She just has that look. I think Cockers have that look in general. She is a beautiful girl.<br/><br/>Thelma will need a mentor dog in the home to teach her the ropes and a fenced in yard to keep her safe.<br/><br/>Thelma is in a foster home. Here is what her foster family says about her: <br/>She's been with the foster family for 3 weeks. She’s becoming more and more curious about things. She’s a funny dog with lots of interesting sounds. We still can’t reach towards her and pet her, but she will willingly be in the same room as us. Thelma has decided our lab is her best friend. The lab is being a good sister and training her (Thelma is older, but Roxy has lived there longer, so foster math says Roxy is older). She’s a champ at going outside to go potty (but doesn’t tell us), eats like a pro, and goes into her crate without being asked at bedtime. We have to “bowl” treats to her since she won’t take them, but she’s relaxed a lot since she arrived. She jumped on the couch while someone was on it the other day! They couldn’t look at her or pet her, but she was next to them! <br/><br/>She has been nicknamed "Madame Curious!" She’ll need to be groomed sometime, but needs to be less scared. Since I can’t reach towards her we’ve not worked on leash walking yet. We are still working on the trust. She does know her name! She’s decided she likes toilet paper, so now we keep the bathroom door closed. But it is so much fun to see her find her inner puppy! These scared dogs are so rewarding!<br/><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.
