Well, hello! Helen here.
I'm quietly devoted once you earn my trust, though loud noises and strangers make me nervous—I promise I'm worth the patient space and gentle routine I need.
My file says I've got energy to spare — adventure buddy applications now open.
I'm a seasoned soul, which is a fancy way of saying I've perfected the art of the afternoon nap and the grateful sigh.
I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.
I've been holding down the fort in San Diego, hoping someone like you would wander by.
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.
With a little luck, Halloween could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.
Thanks for spending a minute with me. I'll be right here, tail ready, hoping it's you. — Helen

About Helen
Helen is a 14-year-old shepherd mix weighing 35 pounds who is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. She is sweet but nervous around unfamiliar people and vocalizes frequently; she requires a large home with a spacious backyard to meet her high energy needs. Helen has housetraining challenges and pulls on leash walks, and she must be the only pet in her home as she does not do well with cats, children, or other dogs. She has a minor chronic skin condition that requires weekly medication.
