About Helen

Hi there! I'm Helen, an 11-week-old Lab mix puppy with a whole lot of love to give. I've been growing up with my siblings in sunny Puerto Rico, but now it's time for me to find my forever family in the DC area. I'm a playful pup who loves toys and zoomies, but I also enjoy plenty of snuggles. I'm eager to explore my new neighborhood on walks and make new doggie friends. I'm also excited to attend puppy obedience classes to show off how smart I am!

Ideal Home

I'm looking for a home where I can play, get my zoomies out, and receive lots of snuggles. I'd love to go on lots of walks and make doggie friends. Homes with a standard 8-hour workday will need to make arrangements for multiple potty breaks and exercise throughout the day, as I'm still under 6 months old.

Ongoing Health

I've received age-appropriate vaccines, but I'm not fully vaccinated yet. It's important that my new family ensures I get my remaining puppy vaccines on schedule. I haven't been spayed or neutered yet, and this will need to be completed by October 11, 2026, as per the adoption contract.

Training & Support

I'll need some help with house training and will benefit greatly from attending puppy obedience classes to become a well-socialized dog.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transporation

I'm currently in a Puerto Rico shelter and need a foster or forever home in the DC area to make my journey there.
