Thistle's Story

Meet Thistle! 🐾<br/><br/>Thistle is a 4-month-old Border Collie mix (best guess) weighing 17 lbs. This sweet and playful girl has the perfect mix of puppy fun and affectionate cuddles.<br/><br/>Thistle loves following her people around, snuggling on the couch, and playing in the yard with other dogs. She especially enjoys chasing a ball, exploring outside, and digging through the toy bin to find her favorite soft toys and Nylabones.<br/><br/>She has a medium energy level and would love a home where she can play, learn, and be included in family life. A fenced yard would be wonderful, but not required. <br/><br/>She would likely do great with another playful dog, though she could also be happy as an only dog with plenty of attention.<br/><br/>Thistle is crate trained and sleeps through the night. She is working on house training and making progress every day. She already knows sit, comes when called, and is a very smart puppy who learns quickly.<br/><br/>She is great with other dogs, loves meeting new people, and has done well with elementary-aged children and older. She has not been around cats in foster care, but may do well with a dog-friendly cat.<br/><br/>Thistle was found as a stray and came into rescue underweight, but she is thriving now and gaining weight beautifully with proper nutrition and care.<br/>If you’re looking for a smart, loving, playful puppy to grow with your family, Thistle may be the perfect match!<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>If you're interested in meeting, please fill out the application below!<br/><br/>https://www.woofanimalrescue.org/adopt<br/><br/><br/>This dog is currently located in Chicago's southwest suburbs and can be seen by appointment once an adoption application is completed and approved by the rescue.
