All about Helen
Animal ID: 2000101470

Helen is a 6 months old female Border Collie/Mix who weighs 14 pounds.

Age: 6 months
Weight: 14.9 kg

A bit about me:
- nervous, under-socialized dog who may be wary of fast/sudden movements and loud noises
- unknown history with children; supervision recommended
- unknown history with cats; slow, supervised intros recommended
- dogs okay pending successful introduction

Helen is a beautiful pup recently surrendered to our shelter and looking for a new home. Like her siblings, Helen is under-socialized and still working on gaining confidence. Although new people and fast movements can be scary, Helen is growing braver with the help of lots of consistent, positive interactions with our staff and volunteers. Helen is food-motivated, very curious, and she has quickly learned that she loves all the ear-strokes and scratches. Helen will likely do best in home with dog experience and no small children who can give her some extra support with gaining confidence and exploring at her own pace. The rewards of seeing a shy dog like Helen blossom are well worth it. CHS will support you with a free private training session, access to our free behavior helpline, and discounts on our classes like Fearful Fido! Good things come in threes - one sweet pup, one patient family, and lots and lots of love!

Note that many dogs do not reach full size until they are about a year and a half old. The weight listed here is the dog's current weight.
