My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Looking for the ultimate people and kid-friendly pup? Well, prepare to welcome this 58lb squishy house hippo into your home! Helga truly is a people dog. There is nothing more she loves than her people. She currently lives in a busy household with a very rambunctious 4 year old as well a 6 and 8 year old. She is incredibly tolerant of everything--loud noises, fast movements, she can be touched all over her body with no problem. She does not do any sort of resource guarding over toys, treats, food, or anything else from people. My kids frequently play with her and they can pull toys right from her mouth. She sees kids aged 1-8 regularly and she does very well meeting new people. She is insanely (not hyperbole!) affectionate and cuddly. She is constantly touching someone if at all possible—that makes a spot on the couch next to you mandatory for her preferred lifestyle…you’ll also have to be tolerant of some snoring
Helga was found as a stray in Milwaukee and it is apparent she has had a few litters of puppies in the past. She’s approximately 5 years old and she comes with every perk of adopting an adult dog. She is potty trained, crate-trained, takes treats gently, can be physically picked up (can’t quite make it in our van on her own), is a great car passenger, and knows the commands sit, shake, and lay. She walks well on a leash and is willing to walk whenever she has the opportunity. She loves to walk as my kids use their scooters and bikes. She also likes treat puzzles that she will happily entertain. She enjoys bully sticks and nylabones and is not particularly picky about her treats. She loves toys, especially ropes, and likes to play tug with my kids. She will play for a while but she also enjoys napping and can very easily settle down on a couch for hours-long Netflix binges. When we are away and at night she is crated and will enter her crate when asked. I do think she would be fine being left out both at night and when away as she has not been destructive at all. She has never even touched a kid’s toy and there are always plenty around.

Helga is looking for a home where she can be the center of your attention and the only dog. She promises she will make it up to you by loving you more than any being ever has!
