Helena is a 1-year-old, 43-pound bundle of sweetness with the softest gaze and a heart full of potential. This petite shepherd may start off a little shy, but with the right amount of love and patience, she’ll become a loyal, affectionate companion.
Helena’s cautious but curious nature makes her a great candidate for a calm, patient household where she can blossom at her own pace. She enjoys a good sniffari on her walks and is incredibly gentle when accepting treats, earning her a reputation as a polite and well-mannered pup. You’ll need to take things slow and respect her boundaries—but once she trusts you, she’s sure to shower you with love!
One of the things we’ve learned in her foster home is that Helena is a total chill queen. While she enjoys playing, she absolutely loves to relax and just hang out. She’s crate-trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and is a joy to travel with—she’s great in the car! She’s also potty-trained and enjoys a cozy, predictable routine.
Helena would thrive in a home with another gentle dog to help her build confidence or as the solo focus of a loving family. She adores other dogs and loves to join in on gentle play once she feels comfortable. In playgroups at the shelter, she was initially reserved, but over time, she warmed up nicely.
If you’re looking for a sweet, calm, and loyal companion who loves to chill but also has a playful side, Helena might just be the perfect match for you. She’s ready to bring endless love and joy into a patient, loving home. Follow her journey on Instagram @fosterdogsoakland, and click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.
