My story

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

File #24-156Current Foster Location: Kingston, ON *Please note that we do not typically adopt outside of a 2 hour radius from the foster dogs current location* Est. Adult Size: Large Well, hello there, darlings. I'm Helenyour Velcro dog, always sticking close by. Whether you're lounging on the couch or, lets be honest, making a little bathroom visit, Ill be right there, giving you my best puppy dog eyesIve mastered the art of looking irresistible, trust me. I like other dogs but big dogs are a bit much for me at first. I prefer friends my sizeits less scary, and were all on the same level, you know? The big mean cat in my foster home is terrifying! But the kitten? Oh, I love that little furball. I dont love being alone. I might get a little whiny or scream if Im crated and can hear everyone else having fun. But, hey, Ive got fabulous recall because, well, I love people. Sharing toys? Not always my favourite thing, but theres plenty to go around, right? So, if you're looking for a sweet, slightly clingy girl with a big heart, Im your Helen.
