! This girl is quickly stealing hearts at the shelter with her beautiful eyes, big smile and chunky wiggle butt!!!! Honey was actually a puppy with us in the fall of 2021. Her family had some major life changes several times and the latest move to a metro area just wasn't going to be the best fit for Honey so she is back with us looking for her new forever home! Honey is a terrier mix of about 40 (chubby) pounds. She is shy at first and will take a bit to warm up to new people but oh my when she does her exuberant affectionate nature comes pouring out. This girl is a people dog and would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for an emotional support animal. She will thrive on routine and since she does become protective of her people a home with out a lot of visitors or traffic would be best. She does love kids that she knows but understanding that visitors (kids included) will need to be introduced so Honey knows they are ok to be in her home and around her family. Honey had other dogs in her previous home and she loved playing with a high energy smaller male dog we had at the shelter so another buddy would be fun for her with the appropriate introduction. We have yet to test her with cats but we certainly can! She is very good at keeping her kennel clean and adores her big dog bed. She is gentle and does nicely on leash. Honey is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $275.00

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
