Helena is a small, adorable pup with a terrier mix background and golden, short fur. Her upright ears hint at a bit of Chihuahua in her, but her personality is genuinely her own—easygoing and social, quite different from what you might expect from those perky ears. She’s estimated around 2-3 years old and weighs about 14 lbs, which puts her firmly in the lap-dog camp yet with enough energy to keep pace with her canine buddies. She craves attention from her people and loves hanging out with other dogs, but she’d likely adjust fine as a solo pet as long as she gets plenty of interaction. Helena’s a cuddler and loves to play, but she does have a bit of a chewing habit when she gets bored—something her future adopters should be ready for, with plenty of appropriate toys and some patience as she settles in. She’s crate trained, nearly housebroken, vaccinated, and spayed, so the basics are covered. Helena is in Barrington Hills, IL and looking for a home in the local area.
