Helen came to the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria in August with her litter of puppies:

We were able to find homes for Helen’s puppies with no trouble at all, but Helen is still waiting. She spent most of her life outside and had a tough time adapting to her new life; she was fearful of people and even ran away from her foster home. (A Good Samaritan found her and brought her to a nearby shelter, where we were very relieved to pick her up.) But she’s making a ton of progress! While she can still be shy with strangers, check out the goofy, lovable personality Helen displays once she’s had a chance to get to know you:

Helen is available for adoption, and she’d make a loyal, loving pet for anyone willing to take it slow and let her get to know you. Contact us at (703) 746-4774 to meet Helen!
