About Helix

Helix is a 10-month-old pup who arrived at the shelter with his littermates. All of them were undersocialized early on, which has left Helix a bit shy. He’s spent some time in a foster home, working on his social skills. This playful boy has a wonderful sense of humor and is eager to find a loving home where he can truly belong. He does well with both dogs and cats, but he may not thrive in homes with young children due to his timid nature. A securely fenced yard is also recommended, as he can be a slight risk when startled. If you feel that Helix could be the perfect addition to your family, come meet him at the shelter!
