About Honey

Honey is a 9-year-old senior girl with a gentle demeanor and a loving spirit, especially once she feels at ease. She might seem shy at first, but give her a little time and she’ll soon show you her loyal, affectionate side, always wanting to be close to her people. Potty trained and very respectful indoors, Honey doesn’t cause trouble—though she has a soft spot for stuffed toys and sometimes can’t resist them. She appreciates short walks and basking in the sun, and is equally content curling up for quiet snuggles. Honey is comfortable both in a crate and roaming the house, adapting easily to her environment. She does well with other dogs out in the world, but would be happiest as the only dog in her home. Her health is steady, though she does have a heart murmur currently being monitored by a veterinarian, but it isn't slowing her down. Honey would thrive in a calm, patient home where she can build confidence and enjoy her golden years with people who truly value her company. Rescued from a high-intake shelter in Texas, Honey is looking for stability and kindness as she settles into this next chapter. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
