My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Update 8/4/24

Honey is a 4-5 year old Golden Retriever/Labrador mix. She was found in a field malnourished and injured. Honey was surrendered to GRRoIOWA and has been living with a foster for two months. Honey is spayed, up to date on shots, and is microchipped. She knows many commands and is house-trained and crate-trained. Honey absolutely adores people but due to her past experiences does not do well with other animals. If you are looking for a dog who will love you unconditionally Honey is the one for you.

UPDATE 07/29/24

Honey is really enjoying the golden life. She is such an easy dog to care for. She has learned that it is nice to lie outside in the grass and watch what is happening in her world. She hopes the weather cools down so she can stay out longer. Most of her time is spent vegging on the cool kitchen tile or on the sofa. She loves to be with her people.

This week Honey will go to the vet to see how much weight she has lost. She has been to the groomer where she charmed the staff with her great personality. She is an excellent car rider. We continue to work on walking on a leash.

If you are looking for a dog that will love you unconditionally and that is easy to care for, Honey is for you. She is eager to find her forever home where she can settle in and never have to move again. Perhaps that home could be with you.


7/6/24:
Say hello to Honey!

Honey is a wonderful 3-4 year old Golden Retriever/ Labrador mix looking for her forever home.

She was surrendered by the Good Samaritan who originally found her in a ditch, malnourished and injured, but who was not able to keep her. Despite the hardships she has faced in her life Honey is one of the most people-loving dogs her foster has ever worked with. Her only desire in life is to be loved. She will return your love tenfold. Her happiness is infectious.

Honey is low to medium energy. She is a little overweight and her foster mom is working hard to help Honey shed a few pounds.

She is learning the commands to come, sit, and stay. She loves walks but needs work on a leash.

Honey tends to bark at people coming to the door and at strange noises she hears outside. We recently learned she is afraid of fireworks.

Because of her past experiences, Honey will do best in a home with no other pets and children 8+ years old. She will need a fenced yard to run in. She will thrive in this environment.

Additional adoption info

We want to find the best possible home for our dogs. We have a thorough process. After the home visit and the volunteer submits their notes, we approve or deny.
If it is approved, the applicant's application will be forwarded to fosters to review. If they are selected, meet and greets take place to determine if it is a good fit. If so, both foster/applicant determine if they want to move forward.
