Name: Helen
Case Number: #5037
Hello. My name is Helen and I'm looking for my forever home.
I am a sweet, loving old gal, a Dalmatian-Terrier mix. I make friends quickly with new people, even the most unusual of strangers, and love to be petted and massaged.
I'm such a social butterfly that I might well make a great therapy pet with a little training. I have some vision impairment as well as hearing impairment so, as far as I'm concerned, I'm a very special dog looking for an extra-special family.
Though I'm not terribly playful now, I may become more so once I'm in a home and out of the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, where I am currently staying.
Due to my age and limitations, I may be more comfortable with older children who will be respectful and careful when handling me, though I'm very tolerant. I'm comfortable with all types of handling and will readily share my resources with people.
I am very playful with other dogs and will enjoy their company immensely! Despite my age, I am a high-energy player so I hope you'll find me appropriate playmates who won't feel overwhelmed by me. I don't know any basic commands but heck, who needs to know sit when you're as sweet and loving as I am? I am proud to say that I walk very nicely on the leash!
