Thelma is looking for her furever home – are you it ?
Thelma is a 4 month old, black and brindle, spayed, German Shepherd mix. She was transferred to Talbot Humane on 5/5/12 from another shelter.
Have you heard the news that there’s been a puppy explosion at Talbot Humane? Well, everything you’ve heard is true! A whole bunch of us lucky dogs were loaded in a van down in Georgia where the prospects for adoption aren’t good and brought all the way to Easton so we could have a good chance at forever homes. However, when we were checked out by the vet, it was found that one of us was very sick, so all of us had to be put in quarantine to be sure the rest of us were o.k. I’m very happy to report that we’re all healthy now and ready to go. Now we’re all waiting for that special person to choose one of us to take home with them. We’re each a little different, so you need to come on down to the shelter and decide who you want to make a member of your family. We’re all still babies, so a good training class will help us to grow into the best dogs ever. And while I agree that Talbot Humane is a wonderful place, the most wonderful place of all is a furever home. Can you help me put a happy ending at the end of my journey?
If you’re considering adopting a puppy, some things to keep in mind are that they need to be house-trained; they are very high energy and need lots of exercise; they jump up with enthusiasm; they nip; and they will chew up anything they can get ahold of. All of these behaviors can be corrected with patience and training, but if you have small children who may be frightened by the jumping and nipping, or you don’t have the time for training, you may want to consider an older dog.
