Name: Helen

Age: 6 months

Sex: Female (not altered)

Breed: Mini Aussie / Beagle Mix

Location: About an hour north of Dallas, TX

Vet Info: Helen has not been vetted, however her owner has said she is willing to pay for vaccines and HW testing.  Helen weighs 20 pounds.

Owner Info: Helen's owner took her and her two siblings in a month ago. They were not being cared for properly and were just wandering outside. Helen is blind in both eyes, and her owner believes she was born this way.  She says that Helen has no other health issues other than her blindness.  She has since found her two siblings homes but not Helen, even though she's contacted over 20 rescues.  Helen's owner has other dogs, and Helen's owner writes that one of the dogs "does not like her and goes after her continuously".   Helen is an indoor dog with run of the house, she is housebroken and leash trained.  Helen is a smart little girl, and even knows commands like "come", "no", "off", and "kennel".  Her owner says that she gets along with people of all ages, both male and female dogs, and cats, too!  Helen is not possessive of toys, treats, or food, but her owner says she "can have trouble meeting new dogs, she can be untrusting of them since her siblings beat up on her so bad...  but can snap at a new dog. I have her around my five dogs with no issue. But one of my dogs does try to bite her, so its a difficult situation for her." Helen has never bitten or snapped at a person and her owner believes she's young enough that she'll do well in any situation with proper training.  Her owner knows "she deserves a chance at a normal life" and is hoping she'll find rescue so she can have her chance!  

Update 11/5/13: Helen's owner has shared some beautiful new pictures (see second photo). Helen is still in need of rescue or adoption.  She's grown into a beautiful girl!
