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, handling puppyhood with an impressive amount of grace. She is still a baby, so she 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. Helena is a great puppy; anyone would be lucky to have her.

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, including the things no one technically meant to teach them.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned.

Training & Support

Helena will need the usual puppy basics: structure, training, patience, and supervision. As a puppy, she will need flexible schedules for potty training (she can only hold it for one hour per month of age), crate training until at least one year old to prevent chewing, and ample socialization. Puppyhood is equivalent to having a human toddler, and it takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts.
