Meet the fabulous Helen! 🌟 This striking 2-year-old female Black Labrador Retriever mix is ready to steal your heart and turn your world upside down! Imagine a beautiful girl with a shiny black smooth coat, a long, wagging tail, and those soulful dark brown eyes that just know how to connect with you. 😍 You can just see love in her large, slender muzzle and short semi-erect ears—could she be the ray of sunshine you've been waiting for? ☀️ Helen is a big sweetheart, weighing in at 62 pounds of pure love! 💕 Brought to us by a Good Samaritan on August 26, 2025, after being found on Melody Lane in Marietta, Ohio, she’s been waiting for her forever home alongside her buddy, Dash. Sadly, no one has come to claim this beauty yet. Helen has been through a lot, folks. After a mandatory stray hold, she was spayed and vaccinated on September 24, 2025, and now she’s ready to embark on her new adventure. What’s even more heartwarming is how Helen has shown resilience and grace through the transition. Thanks to HSOV Executive Director Amy Rogers, Helen felt comforted during her intake photos, reminding us all of the importance of kindness and compassion. ❤️ Are you ready to bring this lovely girl into your life? Helen would thrive in a home that can shower her with affection and belly rubs. So don't hesitate! Apply through the Buddy App today and get ready for a lifetime of love and laughter with Helen! 🥳🐾
