Helena's Story

Type of Foster Home: 

Helena is a 7-year-old Boxer mix that is about 54 pounds. She is looking for a foster home for a few weeks before heading to our Adoption Center. Helena is healthy and housebroken! She needs a home that can provide a quiet environment and has low traffic. She'd do best with kids 12 and older. She also loves other dogs and would be happy to go with a resident pup!

How to Foster Helena:

New fosters can take the first step by learning about fostering and completing the Foster Care Application. Veteran foster parents can email acfoster@pawschicago.org to schedule a pickup appointment.

Helena is available for foster pick-up through the Medical Center at 3516 W. 26th St.

Meet Helena

Helena can’t wait to meet you!

If you’re interested in adopting this pet, please complete the following steps:

1. Start by taking our ComPETibility Quiz to make sure they’re a good fit for your home. Your ComPETibility Score will help you compare your home to each pet’s needs!

2. After completing your ComPETibility Quiz, you will be emailed a link to complete your Adoption Application.

3. After finishing the adoption application, complete the Adoption Inquiry Form! Once this form is submitted, our Adoption Team will take a look at your adoption inquiry and reach out within a few days.

Please note that while we can’t place holds on adoptable animals for your scheduled appointment, there are always plenty of homeless pets looking for a home! If you don’t meet the perfect pet, please feel free to complete a new Adoption Inquiry Form or visit our Adoption Center. Walk-ins are always welcome, but appointments are recommended for a more efficient visit!

Want another way to spend time with our adoptable (or soon-to-be-adoptable) pets? Consider fostering.
