Welcome Helena to RAGOM and the start of a new life for her. Helena came from Shanghai, China, where she was surrendered to a rescue by her family there. She was with the rescue for several weeks as she was too small and young to travel. Helena arrived into RAGOM’s care at the end of November.

Helena, I call her Lena, which she seems to respond to, is a typical 6-month-old Golden puppy. She loves to play and has shown an interest in fetching the ball. She plays hard and can entertain herself pretty well. Lena is also content to chill out and watch the world go by.

Lena went to the vet, is up to date on vaccinations, is microchipped, and has been spayed. She has no ongoing medical issues. She is pretty well potty trained with only an occasional accident. Lena sleeps in her kennel at night and is kenneled when I am gone.

Lena gets along with my resident dog Bella and plays well with Jessa, another foster. She likes to be outside and does pretty well on the leash and loves the snow. When out walking she is eager to meet any new dogs or people. Lena seems to think that everyone wants to be her best friend.

In her forever home, Lena would love another pup to play with but certainly not a necessity. Since she is young and energetic, small children would have to be watched as she is pretty exuberant. A fenced yard would be nice to play in. Lena has not been cat tested yet, but that is something we will do.

Helena is just a puppy looking to find that special forever home after traveling so far in her short life.
