Meet HELEN - wow! a mellow puppy!
Helen's foster mom writes: Helen is the Holy Grail of dogs: a mellow puppy. She's 3 years old and healthy as a horse but chill enough to relax with me in my office all day. But she's also *totally* up for it if you want to go for a long walk or play a vigorous game of fetch. Helen is AMAZING with my kids and, while all children should be taught to give dogs their space, sometimes my kids don't and Helen doesn't bat an eyelash, as you can see. Helen isn't needy, but she loves a good snuggle, so if you want a dog who's comfortable serving as a full-body pillow and TV-watching sofa buddy, Helen's your girl.
She's house-trained, rides great in the car, walks like a dream on the leash and loves everyone she meets.
Helen is deaf but this actually makes her easier than a hearing dog: She slept right through the fireworks on the 4th of July, and she doesn't react to things like ringing doorbells, so she almost never barks. She will look to you to tell her where to go and she knows the hand signals for come, go there, sit, down, stay and shake. She has no idea she's "special-needs" -- all she really needs is a spot on the couch next to YOU!
