About Honey

Meet Honey, a sweet little Chihuahua with a delightful personality. She came to us from the San Diego Humane Society after spending the last few years in their Emergency Boarding program due to her owner's passing. Now she's ready for a loving retirement home filled with cozy beds, warm blankets, and plenty of affection. Honey is full of energy and charm, ready to leap into your arms at a moment's notice. Just be prepared—she might catch you off guard with her playful cannonballs! As a senior dog, she does have early-stage cataracts and a grade 3 heart murmur, but there’s no need for medication right now. We will monitor her closely and plan for regular check-ups. This little lady gets along with dogs but prefers a home without children. If you’re looking for a companion that’s affectionate, curious, and a bit sassy, Honey might just be the one for you. Make the leap and give Honey the loving home she deserves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
