My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VT

Good with dogs: Yes, with proper intros
Good with cats: Unknown, likely yes
Good with kids: Yes, dog savvy children
Crate trained: Yes
House Trained: Mostly

Thelma is a polite, easy-going girl! She loves being around people and well-mannered dogs. Thelma's a quick learner and is super eager to please.

She tends to be more of an observer and wants to stay around her people rather than running and playing with other pups. She does well meeting calmer dogs, but can be overwhelmed when dogs jump on her and will retreat. Thelma would likely do well in a no pets home or one with a calm fur sibling. She hasn’t been around cats but is pretty laid back and might not mind cohabitating with one.

Thelma has enjoyed meeting kids (10+ yo) so far but hasn’t had exposure to younger ones yet. She can be a little nervous in new situations but is always happy to go on an adventure and meet a new friend, especially if they have treats! Thelma is perfect in her crate, as she is crated during the day and overnight without a peep. She's had minimal accidents since traveling north and will continue to do great on a regular schedule and routine. She walks very calmly and politely on the leash and is happy to snooze the day away after a morning stroll.

Thelma is a sweet, affectionate girl who just wants to be loved. Could she be the one for you?

More about this rescue

Our mission at Last Hope K9 Rescue is to save every possible dog we can from being euthanized within high-volume kill shelters throughout the U.S.

As the literal “last hope” of nearly every animal we serve, we work tirelessly to place each one within a stable, loving environment that can act as either their forever home, or the gateway to their forever home. We also strive to ensure that all of our adoptions and foster placements are the optimal fit for everyone involved, including our dogs. This leads to our second goal: enriching human lives through canine companionship. To us, you can’t have one without the other.

Lastly, we promote animal welfare by lobbying important initiatives that both protect and give voice to the voiceless. By fostering an environment of collaboration with other organizations that share our goals, and working together instead of in competition, we find that we accomplish more.
