About Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle, known as Honey to those close to her, came up from a tough beginning in a Texas shelter and landed in Minneapolis, MN looking for a true home. She’s a young, medium-sized Golden Retriever/Labrador mix with a sweet but sensitive personality. Honey loves dogs—sometimes too much, and she needs to live with another confident, playful dog to help her adjust and keep up with her energy. She’s cautious around new people and prefers to take her time before fully trusting strangers. She’ll bark when people enter the home but usually warms up with patience, treats, and guidance from other dogs. Honey adores wrestling and chasing her dog friends, sunbathing, supervising the neighborhood, and snuggling with humans on the couch or bed. She’s house trained, sleeps quietly on her bed at night, and is crate trained (those chews and treats are more fun in there, anyway). Though gentle with children, she can get mouthy and excited when they visit and will need continued work to learn their boundaries—especially not playing like she’s another puppy. She loves being outdoors and needs a secure, physical fence, not an e-collar or invisible fence setup. Honey’s a quick learner who’s already completed obedience and agility classes but still needs ongoing training and socialization. She is a chewer (supervision with toys required!), and she’s got quirky tastes—she’ll mulch yard sticks for you, prefers certain snacks, and isn’t a fan of apples. She enjoys a good brush and doesn’t mind nail trims, but bathtime is merely tolerated. Honey needs a patient adopter willing to keep building her confidence at her pace, help her settle into the household, and continue her positive training outside the home.
