About Honey

Meet Honey, a delightful young pup who has truly experienced the power of transformation. At just 6 months old and 12 lbs, he came to our rescue as a stray, carrying a heavy burden of mats that made it hard to even identify him as a dog. After a much-needed grooming marathon, where we spent four hours working through his tangles, Honey finally revealed his charming personality. Initially, adjusting to his new life took time; however, within a week, he began to understand that he was safe and allowed to be a puppy. Now, with a bright future ahead, Honey embodies the sweetness of his name. He’s learning to use pee pads while also being trained to go outside. Honey gets along well with both dogs and children, making him a great addition to a family that provides patience and love. This little bundle of joy has already overcome so much and is eager to discover the joys of life. He can't wait for the next chapter with a caring family. Click apply to start the adoption process.
