Jack Russell Terrier (medium coat) Dog

1711-1086 Helen the Dog needs a home

Helen is a spunky little old lady that is deaf and almost completely blind.She has a few good teeth left and the ability to sniff out treats and claim them as her own even with her deficits. Helen would like nothing better than a person of her own with a lap made for sitting on! If you have a lap and it is currently looking for a small dog to keep it warm then please consider Helen to fill that spot.

I would say this little one has had her fair share of an adventurous life. For starters she ended up being picked up at a busy intersection in VB where she was on a little walkabout...but remember, she's 10 pounds, blind, deaf and elderly. Good grief Helen. If anyone deserves a shot at living out their life with a family that will keep them safe, it's you!

Helen is listed as a JRT mix and although we don't know exactly how old she is, we have her listed as 8+ years. I believe she does fine with other dogs, but bring yours along just to make sure they will get along. Although I made light of Helen's situation I would like to be honest and say that she isn't doing wonderful in the shelter. She is confused and she has started to spin in her kennel. She really needs a soft place to land where she can get back to being her spunky, almost toothless, perfect old lady self.

Come and check out this cutie pie now at Virginia Beach Animal Care and Adoption Center, 341 S Birdneck Road. She's waiting to meet you in the small dog adoption room.
