Meet Thelma! 💜 Short. Squatty. Brindle and white. And approximately 27 pounds of pure Bulldog fabulousness! Thelma is a young English/French Bulldog with an enormous personality, an even bigger heart, and an irresistibly adorable underbite. After being abandoned in a field in Oklahoma, Thelma arrived in rescue frightened, neglected, and struggling to see through severely affected cherry eyes. Following surgery to restore her vision and lots of patient, loving care, this little girl has absolutely BLOSSOMED! **Thelma is discovering how wonderful life can be, and she's loving every minute of it!** She's affectionate, playful, curious, and hilariously entertaining. She loves squeaky toys, puzzles, snuffle mats, and supervising whatever her humans happen to be doing. She's settled into a lovely routine of playing, exploring, snuggling, and napping, with the occasional spectacular Bulldog zoomies thrown in for entertainment. 😂 **She LOVES other dogs!** Thelma has been wonderful with dogs of all ages and sizes, including tiny puppies. She would enjoy a friendly, playful canine companion. She's also an extraordinary cuddler who believes personal space is wildly overrated. If you're sitting, she's snuggling! Thelma is intelligent, food-motivated, and making wonderful progress learning her manners. She's doing well with potty training on a consistent schedule, knows how to use a dog door, and is learning basic commands. Leash walking and car rides are still relatively new experiences. Because she missed out on so much during her early life, Thelma needs a patient family committed to positive reinforcement training, enrichment, and helping her continue building confidence. She can be nervous in new places and situations, but she settles in very nicely when she feels safe. She's still learning appropriate play manners and occasionally needs reminders that not everything is a chew toy. **We're looking for a family who will adore ALL of Thelma:** her sweet, sensitive heart, her wonderful personality, her goofy Bulldog antics, and the beautiful progress she's making every day. Thelma has already experienced what it means to be unwanted. Now she deserves a lifetime of knowing exactly how treasured she is. **Could you be the happy ending this incredible little girl has been waiting for?** 💜 Apply to adopt Thelma through Pawsitive Restorations Animal Rescue! www.pawsitiverestorations.com
