About Thelma
Introducing Thelma!
Thelma is a small Bull Arab x born approx 11th December 2025. While Thelma shows many beautiful traits of the Bull Arab breed, we don't believe she will be as large as they usually grow.
Thelma & her sister Louise were brought into the facility as unmicrochipped strays & sadly no-one came looking for them. When they first arrived they were incredibly scared of everyone & everything. Even though they were so scared, neither have shown any signs of aggression towards staff, volunteers or each other.
Since being at the facility both girls have been a delight to care for. They're quiet, sweet, adorable when they snooze together and are getting more confident with every day that passes. Both girls are very gentle when taking treats and are just all-round beauties. Thelma has always been more timid than her sister, but with Louise's help she's learning that she loves having a gentle scratch & cuddle (as long as you don't rush towards her). Given that she can still be timid with fast movements, we feel Thelma would be best suited to a home with children over 12 years, as younger ones might be too overwhelming for her.
Thelma tested quite well with others dogs at the facility, however she did get defensive when they were boisterous & jumping on her. We believe Thelma could be suitable to live with another calm & gentle dog, or to be the spoint only "child" at home. If you have a friendly, gentle dog we will need to do a meet & greet with them to ensure they get along before going home. Alternatively, both Thelma & Louise do have a beautiful relationship with each other and would be more than happy to stay together.
Thelma is untested with cats & pocket pets at this time.
Thelma has shown no signs of separation anxiety since being at the facility, however please keep in mind that Thelma & Louise have been housed together at all times, so this result may vary if she's by herself in a home environment.
Thelma has shown no signs of food aggression since being at the facility.
She still has so much to learn about the world and life and would love to be in a home where she is included as a member of the family. Thelma will thrive in an environment that guides her with positive direction and lots of love and attention.
If you think you could be that furever family for Thelma, please contact our friendly staff via email at ccacfpetadoptions@gmail.com or 0499 900 272 to organise a meet and greet.
Her adoption fee is $675 individually (or $1000 for her & her sister) & includes her desexing, first vaccination and lifetime registration. She is also regularly treated for fleas and worms.
Thelma is currently located in East Maitland.

Adoption details
If you are interested in adopting one of our animals, please contact us on 0499 900 272.
Staff will ask more about your lifestyle and the information you provide will helps us to achieve the best match between the dog or cat and their new home. We will also have certain adoption requirements that have to be approved prior to meeting the animal (eg fencing requirements, no young kids, etc)
Once all of your questions have been answered and adoption requirements met and approved, its time to meet your potential new furbaby. This meet will be conducted at the shelter in the Hunter Valley.
Should you have an existing dog in your life, we will require a meet and greet to ensure that they get along.
The final step (pending agreement by both parties) is the payment of the adoption fee and filling in of associated paperwork for your new furbaby.
Congratulations, you have now saved a life!
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
