My story

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

MORE ABOUT ME:

Wants to please and be by her people, easy to redirect once she trusts you.

ONE LAST THING:
Thelma is a little more independent at times. She likes to cuddle with you on the couch, Sleep in bed with you and loves her walks. If you can not find her in the house, look in the backyard. She likes to Explore and protect her surroundings from squirrels and cats. She is often looking for her sister Louise to play with or snuggle with. She likes to hang out in the office when you work from home. Thelma and Louise like to do zoomies and play together.
Thelma loves her walks can be a little reactive to other dogs/people at first but this has improved a lot. They will need time to feel at home and decompress in a new environment. From her behavior, we think she was left in the yard as you really need to make sure she has potty breaks and reward her for doing right. If you miss her cues, she will go inside.
Thelma and Louise were left behind when their owner moved away. A nice Rescue lady in Stockton took them in when they saw the owner never came back for them. Sounds like they lived most of their lives in the backyard. Now they are pampered little princesses.
