My story

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

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped. 

* If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, www.dpsrescue.com for an application. Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.



Adoption Fee: $750

 

Honey Baked Ham is a 3 month old Australian Shepherd mix ready to serve up cuteness at your holiday table! Honey was rescued from the shelter where she was surrendered for reasons unknown. This fluffy gal needed a hero and we swooped her up, promising a lifetime of cuddles and yummy snacks! Honey weighs 17 pounds currently, and we expect she will be a medium sized dog when she reaches her adult weight. We will be looking for homes prepared for all that comes with large breed puppyhood. Ready for the sweetest new best friend? Come on down and reserve your Honey Baked Ham for the holidays! 

 

 

Honey is a playful, young bundle of energy who lights up every room she enters. She is always ready for a game of fetch or a spirited run around the house. Honey has an out of this world enthusiasm for life, and she makes your day better just by wagging her tail into it. She’s the perfect blend of energy, ready for a hike during the day but also a total sweetheart who adores cuddling up on the couch for some quality snuggle time at the end of the day. Honey thrives on attention and loves being the center of it, charming everyone with her wagging tail and bright eyes. While she’s still learning the ropes of doghood, she prances through life on her uncoordinated legs without a care in the world. She’s happiest when she has a toy in her mouth and someone to share her adventures with. We expect she will be the perfect companion for all the hikes, camping trips, kayaking adventures, or trips under the stars you have planned! This little ball of love and fun can’t wait to bounce into your life and make it so much better than you ever imagined! 

Honey wakes up around 7 AM and heads to the backyard to work on her potty skills. She eats three times a day: 9 AM, 2 PM, and 7 PM, with lots of training snacks in between meals. During the day, she alternates between zooming around, getting her cuddles, and snoozing on the couch. She’s always ready to pop up and zoom after a toy if she hears a squeak, even if she’s completely zonked out. Once her foster mom finishes her workday, she soaks up all the love and cuddles she can until dinner. She has lots of snuggles on the couch as she starts to unwind from the day. After one last potty session outside, she heads into her crate at 10 PM. 

Honey has lived with dogs of various ages and sizes. She would love a playful companion in her forever home but would also fly perfectly fine solo. She adores humans and can’t wait to charm her new people, but would probably be better with slightly sturdier-aged children. Interested homes should be prepared to discuss their plans for continued training and socialization to ensure she is a well-rounded adult. Ready for sweetness? Adopt Honey! 

 

  

Honey is only an option for homes who have owned a dog in the last five years. Kids should be over the age of 9.

More about this rescue

We are passionate folks who love dogs and love people! We strive to make the most appropriate match between human and canine. Because our dogs live in foster homes we know about their temperament and personality and therefore can help families and individuals decide if the dog is a good match or not. We are excited to help people find the right pooch for them and look forward to meeting great folks and welcoming them into the DPS Family.
