Honey (Anastasia/Mattee) - Cattle Dog and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Meet Honey, an 8mo old shep/cattle dog mix! This sweet girl was adopted, but she and the female frenchie aren't getting along anymore, so she is back with us looking for a family!! Honey is very good with other dogs on trails, the dog park, and at Pub Dog. She doesn't try to attack the chickens or rabbits in the resident home. She's fun and outgoing. She can be shy when meeting new people and dogs but warms up over time. She loves hiking and chasing bugs. She also loves snuggling when her energy is low. Always ready for adventure, she thrives in the great outdoors, exploring every patch of grass and chasing after fluttering leaves. Her love for nature and confident personality make her a delightful companion for anyone who enjoys active play and outdoor fun. (She may need a home with a male dog or perhaps a submissive female.)
