My story

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

Honey is a beautiful 3-year old female Labrador Retriever mix who was brought to the HSOV on February 17, 2024 by a Good Samaritan who found her on Waterford Road (near Lang Farm Road) in the Marietta Ohio area.

Honey’s very favorite person (HSOV Volunteer Kathy Wilhelm) has faithfully been walking- and spending time with Honey for many months and has naturally fallen in love with her (and vice versa). We took the opportunity to take new photos of Honey on September 10th 2024 when Kathy & Honey were about to embark on that day’s adventure.

Honey weighs 42 lbs and walks gently on a leash. Kathy noted that “Honey” is the absolute perfect name for this sweet dog since it describes her overall persona.

Honey loves ‘good girl’ treats and belly rubs. She appears to prefer human female friends rather than males. Honey can be a little picky, but once you are her friend .. it is for life (Smile).

Honey weighs 42 lbs and walks gently on a leash.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Honey was held for three days so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Sadly, nobody called or came looking for this beautiful girl.

Honey will be spayed in the near future and will be looking for a fabulous home.

Like many dogs, Honey appears to be selective about which dogs she accepts into her circle of friends, so we always recommend a meet-and-greet if you have other dogs in your home. We aren't sure yet how Honey feels about cats but can test her with shelter cats who are ok with dogs.
