Currently Living at: DC area foster homeSpecial adoption considerations: Honey was rescued from a hoarding situation in South Carolina. She has not been well socialized with new people and has lived his whole life with other dogs. New nosies, cars, bikes, and other things may create fear and anxiety. She will need a patient adopter who can give her time to come out of his shell and learn that the world is a wonderful and welcoming place. Because Honey is shy, she needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog who will show her the ropes. Honey is Looking For: Her forever home, filled with snuggles and opportunities to see the world! One where she is a cherished part of a family. She's very sweet, and SO ready to be a Real Dog.
Extra patient and loving humans who introduce her to new places and people at her pace are exactly what she wants! On lots of walks and all those awesome adventures - she's a young girl and wants to see the world! And then yeah, quality kibble, a cushy dog bed, and endless snuggles. She's ready to give you adoring gazes, all the love and loyalty in her body, for all her days. What do you say? Is she the one for you?
