Honey bun is beginning the search for her forever home.
BASICS: Female, 2 years old, 50 pounds
VETTING: Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped
COMPATIBILITY: Cat friendly, can be dog friendly (see below)
OTHER: Potty trained, low to medium energy, no young kids
We know, this is a super duper long bio. We would be doing Honey and her future human a disservice though if we just snipped it down to the basics and a few cute sentences. Honey deserves more, so does her wonderful future human who will love her wholeheartedly.
Honey lived on the streets by herself for over a year. In that time, she was faced with having at least two litters of puppies as just a baby herself, scavenging for food and being hit by cars multiple times. We rescued Honey in fall of 2023 and she had both a broken hip and heartworms. It is a miracle she made it as long as she did. Honey has spent the last several months getting necessary medical care from heartworm treatment to hip surgery, and she has finally finished it all!
Honey is looking for a very special and patient adopter who will show her kindness, help her continue to blossom and give her grace as she gets there.
After living on her own for so long, Honey is still trying to figure out life off the streets. She can get overwhelmed by new changes, new people, new environments. Overwhelmed by the world outside of her safe bubbles, you could say. She loves her safe bubbles (e.g. foster homes) and is still learning that there is more to life, more safe bubbles, than one.
Honey’s heart for her people is bigger than the moon. She adores her people and she is loyal to a fault to her people. Once she settles in and chooses you, she chooses you wholeheartedly. Her personality starts to show in little moments that make your heart flutter and feel so proud. Before you know it, she is doing bunny hops in excitement to see you and “talking” excitedly at dinner time.
KIDS: As Honey is still trying to build confidence and integrate into life off the streets, she is not a match for a home with young children. Kiddos make lots of noise and fast movements, which scares Honey and isn’t her jam.
CATS: Honey is cat friendly. She has done great living with cats in her foster home.
DOGS: Honey could either be the only dog in home, or she could potentially live with other dogs if the right match and slow intros. Honey lived in a foster home with multiple dogs for months and did great. She does not care to play, but she does not mind hanging together either as long as the other pups leave her be. Co-existing happily versus being buddies – that is Honey’s style. Honey may do well with a lowkey, low energy dog who just likes to hang and keep to themself too.
FENCE: Honey does NOT have to have a fenced yard. She has lived both in a foster home with one and without one. However, Honey CAN chew through chain link fencing if she gets spooked enough to feel like she needs to. She can go to a home with or without a fence, but Honey is a FLIGHT RISK and precautions must be taken either way to keep her safe (we will help you figure those precautions out).
OTHER: Honey is fully potty trained (super holder). Her energy level is low to medium. She is pretty easy on a leash and non-reactive to other dogs. Car rides are not her favorite as far as getting in, but she rides calmly and quietly once in. Honey is crated regularly and does well, though she may have an “oopsie” moment trying to get out the first week or two - but smooth sailing after that.
Raw truth: We know it may take some time to find Honey’s right person. That person is out there though, and it will be a match made in heaven when the paths do cross. Someone will grow to love Honey *almost* as much as she loves them. They will celebrate her milestones and progress like we have. They will get to know the true Honey and love her with their whole heart. Honey’s person is out there.
If you read this far and think you might be Honey’s person, complete an application and let’s talk! Her meet and greets might not look like the “norm”. She will be nervous, shy, and uneasy. If you can look past that though and give her a chance, you might just look back realizing it was one of the best decisions you ever made. You might just think to yourself one day that you simply couldn’t imagine life without her.

Joy’s Promise is a promise to keep fighting for those like Joy. The discarded, unwanted, abused and neglected. It won’t always look like Joy, a pregnant mama facing euthanasia. It might be a pittie sitting animal control for months, years unwanted. It might be a boxer mix from a terrible hoarding case. It might be an owner surrender that lost everything they have ever known. It might be a box of puppies who were tossed without the slightest remorse. Joy’s Promise is a promise for Joy’s death to not be in vain, but a catalyst for more lives saved.
Joy’s Promise Canine Rescue is a registered nonprofit corporation and an actively licensed GDA animal shelter. We are a foster-based organization in the process of filing 501c3 paperwork.
