Thelma's Story
Breed: Malinois mix - Baja<br/>Age: 4 mons. as of 2/19/26<br/>Weight: 13 lbs.<br/>Good with dogs: yes<br/>Good with cats: unsure<br/>Good with kids: unsure<br/>Energy level: unsure<br/>Good with men/strangers: yes<br/>Hypoallergenic: no<br/><br/>Special home requirements or medical: another confident dog in the home<br/><br/>Additional info:<br/><br/>Meet Thelma! This little nugget ended up at the shelter all alone as a pup and was terrified of the world around her. She was basically feral. Through the magic of fostering, patience, and love, she is opening up and we know she will have a beautiful future in front of her! <br/><br/>She’s got such a funny personality… And even though she might be a little cold to warm up, after three minutes of giving her her own space, she is every human and dog’s best friend. She would do very well in a home with another confident dog and a patient, loving human to guide her on her life's journey! We know with time, her confidence in herself and others around her will grow and grow. Right now, she is great with other dogs in the home and will allow pets and snuggles when she wants them. <br/><br/>She recently learned that being picked up isn't a bad thing at all and knows the command "leap". She will need someone committed to socializing her properly. She would also thrive in an active household as she is very athletic. She is about 99% potty trained (occasional pee pads but hits those 100% of the time). She is also crate trained. We believe she is a Malinois mix known as a "Baja" so she will be a medium to large size girl full grown.<br/><br/>INTERESTED IN THIS PUP?
