Thelma (On Trial 30/1/14)

Thelma is a 16 month old Staffy, white with brindle patches. She's not a barker or jumper. She loves being outdoors and spends most of her day playing with our other dogs. She would be best rehomed where she has company of another dog, or an active family, as she loves the company of humans too.

Thelma is currently living with big dogs and has no issues with them and is very cooperative. She will sit when asked and is learning to walk on a lead but will need more practice with this. Thelma shows no food aggression. She loves her food and barks with happiness when she sees her food bowl.

Thelma likes to be inside with the family and has been sleeping inside. She isn't 100% housetrained yet but just needs a little more training and she'll be fine.

Thelma hasn't been with small animals or children, but having said that, she is gentle and we expect she will be fine. All in all , she is a gentle girl with a lovely nature who will make a great companion.
