My story

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

Meet Helen! With that smile, you'd never know the sad story she has to tell. At just a year old Helen has already had a rough start, spending her days as an outdoor dog in neglectful conditions. But don't let her past define her because, underneath it all, Helen is a sweetheart bursting with love. Despite the hardships she's faced, she's eager to shower her affection on anyone willing to give her a chance. Helen's vibrant personality shines through as she eagerly plays with stuffed squeaky toys & basks in the company of humans. She's a social butterfly who enjoys meeting other dogs, making her the perfect companion for a family with furry friends. Helen's ultimate desire is simple: to be loved. With a little extra care & some tasty treats to help her fatten up, Helen is ready to embark on a new chapter of her life filled with warmth, love, & endless cuddles. Come meet Helen today & be prepared to welcome a bundle of joy into your home!

By adopting me today you will save the life of two pets -- you'll save me and that will make room for the Shelter to rescue and save another pet.
