DESCRIPTION
Meet Thurman!
Thurman is 1 year old and 33 pounds of what we can only describe as a mini Shepherd, Italian Greyhound, and a little Texas street-dog magic mixed in!
Thurman was found as a stray, very thin and with much of his hair missing. But underneath that sad outer appearance was the happiest, smartest, sweetest puppy just waiting to shine. And shine he does!
He is incredibly good-natured, loving, and gentle, with an old-soul look in his eyes that will absolutely melt your heart. Thurman loves people, is social with other dogs, and has such an easy sweetness about him.
And because he is clearly a well-bred Texas gentleman, Thurman even crosses his front legs when he lies down-because good manners are important!
This handsome boy has already come such a long way, and now his outside is finally starting to match the beautiful dog that was hiding inside all along. Thurman is ready for a family who will look into those soulful eyes and say, "You're home."
