Meet Thelma! A kind, gentle soul who found herself at the shelter after being bred her entire life and then discarded of when she was too old to produce any more babies for the profits of her owners. Her body tells a story of extreme overbreeding, including a growth on one of her mammary glands that our vet deemed benign and diagnosed as hyperplasia, an excess of tissue due to repeated breeding cycles. This lump is a result of her cruel past, and we know that her furever family will look beyond this cosmetic defect and see her for the beautiful soul she truly is. Thelma is extraordinarily kind, patient, loving and an overall joy to be around. She has been quiet as a mouse and the best house guest her foster Mom could ask for. Thelma integrated into her foster home wonderfully with both male and female pitties. She wags her tail at her foster siblings, sniffs, and then keeps to herself. She is crate trained, up to date on shots, spayed and will be microchipped upon adoption. Thelma would be a perfect dog for a beginner or a family with little to no dog experience. She is easy peasy and has so much love to give. Adopt Thelma!

All animals adopted from us will be spayed or neutered, dewormed for parasites, current with vaccines for their age and microchipped. Dogs will have tested negative for heartworms and given monthly heartworm, flea & tick prevention. Cats will have tested negative for FELV OR FIV and given Revolution monthly

The general adoption process is as follows:

Once we receive your application, the TLC Animal Rescue Board of Directors will review it to see if the animal you are interested in may be compatible with your family.
Once your application has been screened, we will arrange a meet and greet with you and your family members (including pets) and the animal you are interested in.
During this time, one of our adoption coordinators will be contacting your references and your veterinarian to verify if your pets are spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines.  If the meet and greet was successful, and any other potential adopters have been ruled out, we will schedule a home check and move ahead with the adoption.

We look forward to receiving your application.
