Helena

Helena is a 5-month-old Border Collie/Great Pyrenees mix with a sweet face, a bright mind, and serious puppy charm. She is friendly, social, smart, and an all-around wonderful young dog. Helena likes people, enjoys other dogs, and is good with cats. She is handling puppyhood with an impressive amount of grace, but will need the usual puppy basics: structure, training, patience, supervision, and a family ready to help her grow into the lovely adult dog she is clearly meant to become.

Ideal Home

Helena needs a fenced yard where she can run, play, explore, and burn off her puppy energy safely. She will do best with a family that enjoys a bright, engaged dog and understands that smart puppies are always learning.

Ongoing Health

Helena is a young puppy and is in good health.

Training & Support

Puppies require a commitment to training and socialization. Potential adopters should be prepared for:

• Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age.
• Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when unsupervised.
• Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences a puppy has, the better.
• Patience is required as puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog.

Application Details:

• Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transportation

Helena is located in Tennessee. She can be transported to states east of the Mississippi River.
