Meet Honey | Rehome With Love

Looking for a best friend who's equal parts cuddle bug, comedian, and tiny tornado? Meet Honey!

At about 10 months old, Honey is in her rebellious teenager phase, which means she has big zoomies, an even bigger heart, and absolutely no concept of why anyone wouldn't want to stop everything for belly rubs.

Honey loves running, sniffing, digging, chewing on toys, playing tug-of-war, and soaking up all the love and attention she can get. She's a smart girl who already knows sit, down, stay, and up, and she's learning "off," crate training, potty training, and coming when called.

Like any teenage puppy, Honey is still working on her manners. She's learning not to pull on the leash, jump when she's excited, play with her mouth, snack on grass, and get distracted by... well... everything. The good news? She's incredibly smart, eager to learn, and full of potential.

Honey's dream home would have a securely fenced yard where she can stretch those speedy legs and a family ready to continue her training with patience, consistency, and lots of love. She'll reward you with endless laughs, endless affection, and a loyal best friend for years to come.

If you're looking for a dog who's already perfectly polished, Honey probably isn't your girl. But if you're looking for a goofy, affectionate puppy who's ready to grow into an amazing dog with your help, Honey can't wait to meet you!
