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.
Why Adopt?
Adoption is one of the best ways to save a life. Only a few thousand more adoptions each year in Chicago, a city of millions of people, and we will be a No Kill community! You can make a real difference.
At PAWS Chicago, we keep working to grow our operations to save more homeless pets. It's how we've gone from saving a few dozen to 6,000 pets a year. But it is our adopters who make the real magic happen by bringing these loving pets home. Adopt a pet and spread the word!
First Time Fostering? Learn More
Our foster families enable us to take in more pets at risk. Some require a quiet place to heal from illness or injury; small puppies and kittens need a nurturing place to grow before they are able to be spayed or neutered and adopted; and others just need socialization and a break from the activity of Adoption Center living. Become a foster parent and help homeless pets in need!
