About Helen Home Visit in

Meet Helen. This kind-hearted poodle mix puppy is just 10 weeks old and looking for a loving home. Born with challenges, Helen experiences deafness and significant vision impairment, which stem from a genetic issue related to double-merle breeding. Despite these obstacles, she shows no awareness of being different; she simply desires the same love and safety as any other puppy. Helen's needs are unique. Her future family will need to communicate using hand signals, touch, and visual cues to help her adapt to her surroundings. A consistent and predictable environment will aid in her navigation through the world. She is eager to learn and grow, and with the right support, she can thrive. Helen is not asking for pity; she seeks a family that understands her potential. Ideally, her adopter will have the patience to accommodate her disabilities, and in return, they'll get to witness the joy of this special girl blossoming into her own. If you feel you can embrace and love Helen for who she is, she might just be the puppy for you. This heartwarming journey of companionship awaits! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
