Hi there! Helga here.
I'm a seasoned partner with nine years of loyalty to offer—give me structure, activity, and those belly rubs I deserve, and you'll have my whole heart.
They wrote that I love to play. Understatement. I'd hike, fetch, and nap with you, in that order.
I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.
Born and (almost) raised right here in San Diego.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Thanksgiving — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.
Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Helga

About Helga
Meet Helga!! Helga is a beautiful 9-year-old, 75-pound German Shepherd/Malinois mix with a loyal heart and a big personality. Like many dogs of her breeds, she forms strong bonds with her people and thrives when she has structure, activity, and guidance. Helga enjoys staying active and would love a home that can keep her engaged with daily walks, games of fetch, and tug-of-war. She's highly food-motivated, making her eager to learn and easy to reward. One of her favorite things in the world is receiving belly rubs from the people she knows and trusts! This lovely girl is fully potty trained and sleeps soundly through the night. She would do best as the only pet in the home, where she can soak up all the love and attention for herself. Helga is looking for an adult home, or one with older children, that can provide the consistency and positive social experiences she needs to continue building confidence and being her best self. Helga's adoption fee is $300. A refundable $100 training deposit is also required at the time of adoption. Training should be completed within a timely manner to help Helga continue thriving as a wonderful canine companion. The deposit will be refunded within three months of the adoption date upon completion of training requirements. Please note: Helga is available for local adoption only and a home visit is required.
