Meet Helix! Helix is an affectionate girl with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life. She loves spending time with her people and is highly toy-motivated, making playtime one of her favourite ways to bond. Because Helix can become quite excited when meeting new people and dogs, she would thrive in a calm, structured home that can help her manage her enthusiasm. Helix is looking for a loving home with patient, gentle adopters who can help her channel her excitement in positive ways. Helix is looking for confident owners with experience and confidence handling Staffies or other bully breeds, who can continue supporting her to be the very best companion she can be. She is best suited to older teens and adults who can manage her strength. Helix might be ok with another confident, but calm role model dog that could keep up with her high energy and boisterous play-style. With time, understanding, and ongoing training, this wonderful girl has all the potential to become an incredibly loyal and rewarding companion. Come and meet Helix at Burwood today!
If Helix isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
