Thelma is a cute 8-month old female (possible) Catahoula Leopard Dog/Beagle mix who was brought to the HSOV on October 19, 2024 along with her best friend/sister (Louise) after they were found on Gilman Avenue in Marietta Ohio. Neither of the girls were wearing a collar.
True to their namesakes, this lovely pair must have been on an adventure, so we were relieved that a Good Samaritan brought them to the safely of our shelter and that they out of harm's way since there is always a high volume of traffic in Marietta on a Saturday afternoon.
Thelma has a distinctive multi-colored brown/beige/white coat and a beautiful face with pale blue eyes, a long slender muzzle, and large floppy ears.
Thelma and Louise have affectionate, fun-loving personalities. Thanks to HSOV Kennel Techs Emily Beaver and Lauryn Hamilton for accompanying them for photos soon after their arrival.
Thelma weighs 26 lbs. She doesn't appear to have been accustomed to walking on a leash, so HSOV Kennel Tech Lauryn Hamilton provided 'carry-out' service. With a little encouragement from Lauryn, Thelma made a noble effort and walked back into the shelter fairly well on a leash.
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Thelma & Louise were held for three days so that their family will have an opportunity to reclaim them with proof of ownership. Surprisingly nobody called or came looking for these beautiful older puppies.
Thelma and Louise went home with a foster family on October 26, 2024 who planned to adopt them after they were spayed ... But changed their mind and the girls were returned to HSOV on October 30th. Thelma and Louise were higher energy than anticipated and exhibited usual puppy behavior (chewing and were not yet housetrained).
Update: Thelma was spayed on December 3, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine.
