Meet Honeydew
Honeydew is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart… and never gives it back.
She’s a petite, ~44 lb black Lab mix with the softest eyes and the gentlest soul. A little shy at first, Honeydew is the kind of girl who just needs a moment — and then she melts into you completely.
Her Story
Honeydew was abandoned at a shelter with her 11 puppies… and after they were all adopted, she was left behind and placed on the euthanasia list.
But even after everything she’s been through, she is still incredibly loving, still hopeful, and still ready to trust again.
She’s been in foster care far too long… just waiting for someone to finally choose her.
