Helen (the snugglebug) wants a FOREVER home... (Maplewood, NJ)

Helen is a beautiful 3 year old, 60 lb girl with an amazing temperament. She is short and stocky, like a little fireplug. She loves everyone she meets. She's eager to learn and very smart too -- she is deaf, but responds well to hand signals. She knows sit, down and shake with both paws. She's house trained, rides great in the car, walks like a dream on the leash, and loves to cuddle on the couch. She enjoys long walks and can be playful, but for the most part her favorite thing is you and her on the couch.

She does very well with little dogs. She is very motherly towards them whether they appreciate it or not. With dogs her size or larger she needs a very long slow introduction. It took her two weeks to adjust to the larger dogs here. I don't think she was well socialized with other dogs. No cats for Helen. She tries to get them to run so she can chase them.

She loves balls and will sometimes even bring it back to you. She wants to be very close to you even at night in your bed. She is a bit of a bed hog. Helen is a true velcro dog. Helen would prefer someone home most of the time. Initially I was seeing separation anxiety but as she has settled in she is able to stay alone for short periods of time with the other dogs. She does wait at the door for our return but she is not destructive in any way. She can not be crated.
