About Helen

Meet Helen, a delightful 2-year-old Terrier/Chihuahua mix weighing around 23 pounds. This snuggle-loving companion has a heart of gold and a knack for cuddles. Helen was found as a stray alongside her team, Bob and their tiny superheroes, Dash and Jack Jack. She’s fully vaccinated, spayed, and ready for her forever home. Helen relishes physical affection and enjoys engaging conversations, leaning in for those extra pats. While she might keep her distance at first with unfamiliar dogs, her playful spirit truly shines once she builds trust. Already a pro at indoor living and potty trained, she’s comfortable in her crate and ready to adapt smoothly to a new environment. Exploring outdoors is one of her favorite activities, and she walks well on a leash, though she can get a little excited at times. Her gentle nature makes her a joy to be around, and she’s known for being sweet with both humans and canine friends. Updated on all vaccinations, Helen is now looking for a loving family to shower with affection. Think you can be that family? Click apply to start the adoption process.
