Hello, I'm Helga! Glad to meet you! I'm five years old, on the small side, and I love adventures. I've probably been on my own for a while, but I'm ready to settle down with my furrever family. I love people and car rides and naps and walks, but I also have a strong drive to CHASE SQUIRRELS. If you have any squirrels or rabbits going after your garden, I'd be happy to chase them off for you! I might even try to climb a tree to get after them.
My foster parent is taking me on two walks a day, morning and evening, and this works really well for my energy level. We are in an apartment and I do great in my crate, but the walks help balance my energy levels and when we get back home, I get to eat and play. I love the fluffy animal toys that make me feel like I'm still out chasing squirrels. I rarely bark, usually only when it's appropriate to notify my foster parent that someone is outside. I am a good jumper, so baby gates won't necessarily hold me back; I will leave closed doors alone, though. I think I would be a great agility, dance, or parkour dog, given that I love jumping and climbing when it's allowed. I can learn new tricks with a little guidance and promise of a small treat - I'm proud to say that I have learned to sit in my first week as a foster dog. At the end of each day, there's nothing better than snuggles. I come from a warmer climate, so I like getting under the covers to snuggle with my foster parent. I'll make you a super cute doggy donut when we snuggle on your couch!
Right now, I am working with my foster parent on learning more commands, practicing good walking skills, and getting into routines. I have had a few skin issues while in the shelter, so I don't have a lot of hair on my belly right now, but it's growing back! You can definitely scratch my behind to make me feel better :)
I can't wait to meet you and be your adventure dog!
