About Helga

Meet Helga: Your fun-loving, loyal sidekick! Helga embodies the spirit of her namesake from Hey Arnold!, boasting a big personality and an even bigger heart. At around 1.5 years old and weighing 45 lbs, she’s playful, affectionate, and eager to learn. Whether rolling in the grass, chasing toys, or showering you with kisses, Helga thrives on activity and affection. Having recently completed her obedience training, Helga is now looking for an active family that understands her breed and encourages her growth. She walks nicely on a leash and is always ready for adventures. Helga enjoys the company of other dogs who can match her playful energy but would also be just as happy as the only pup in the home. She can be excited when playing, so ideally, kids in the home should be ages 8 and up. Having been rescued from the euthanasia list as a stray, Helga has come a long way in foster care. She values her crate as a safe space and is learning to embrace it more every day. Helga would benefit from a family willing to guide her through learning boundaries and manners. If you’re searching for a companion that will make you laugh, provide lots of love, and keep you active, Helga might be the perfect match. Ready to meet her? Let’s start the adventure together!
