Thelma is a 6-month-old Wheaten Terrier mix who was rescued from Georgia and is still discovering what it means to feel safe, loved, and cared for. At first, she can be a little shy and unsure, but each day in her new environment is helping her gently come out of her shell. Behind her cautious start is a sweet, gentle puppy who is beginning to show just how much love she has to give.

She’s the kind of young dog who doesn’t rush into the world—she tiptoes into it. But once she trusts her surroundings, her kind and affectionate nature starts to shine through in the softest, most rewarding way.
