Ms. Helena was originally adopted as a companion to a toddler. When the family decided that Helena was too much trouble, they opened their door and threw her out to fend for herself. One of our rescue workers found her and brought her to us.
Helena is a happy, healthy, lovable little soul who loves to cuddle and enjoys playing with her foster family. She is spunky, very friendly, highly intelligent and alert to her surroundings. She can also be a real talker when it's time to go in her crate and go to bed. She will often protest and "tell" me that she's not ready for bed. It is really cute to hear her talk. Helena is a social butterfly and gets along very well with other dogs. All she wants to do is play and make new friends. She is still very young and active and would do well with children and/or active adults. She would also be a great running companion. Helena is highly intelligent and would be a great candidate for a service dog.
