My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dina has been at Helping Strays for 821 days, that is 2 years and 3 months!

Everyone here is hoping she gets the best Christmas gift ever: a forever family and a real home. Dina has a dedicated Shelter Buddy who brings her home on weekends, helps her practice good manners, and takes her on outings so she can socialize and enjoy life outside the shelter. Thanks to all that love and work, Dina is ready.


Ready for a home.
Ready for her family.
And Christmas sure feels like the most magical time for her story to change. Could your home be Dina’s holiday miracle? 🎄🎅


Dina is obsessed with stuffed toys and she loves to pull them out of her toy box one at a time and proudly deliver them to you. On outings, she is a total shopping queen and will try to 'adopt' every stuffed animal she sees… she can be quite the little thief! Dina enjoys walks, car rides, and hanging out with her buddies. She is crate-trained, trustworthy in the house, and can flip from full-of-energy fun to couch-potato calm. With other dogs, Dina prefers polite playmates, pushy pups are not her vibe. She is goofy, social, and guaranteed to bring laughs and love into your home. And one more thing: Dina is a ladys lady — totally about girl power. She may need a minute to warm up to the guys, but once she does, she is loyal for life. â\x9D¤ï¸\x8F

Dina is three years old and weighs 61 pounds.

Dina's adoption fee is sponsored by a generous donor. All pets are microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will be altered prior to adoption. If you are interested in meeting Dina, please stop by the shelter during open hours. If you currently have a dog at home, we recommend bringing them to also meet Dina.

More about this shelter

We promote the humane care of all abandoned and stray animals in our community. We are a no-kill shelter. All of our pets leave the shelter for their forever homes micro-chipped, up to date on vaccines, and altered.

Founded in 2002, Helping Strays is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization supported entirely by donations.

Our lucky animals receive appropriate medical care, are featured on the Helping Strays website "adoption list" and are taken to several adoption events every month in an attempt to find permanent, loving homes.
