Regret Adopting a Dog? How to Handle Adoption Blues
Feeling adopter's remorse after getting a dog? It's normal. Learn why it happens, get practical tips, and find out how shelters can help you overcome dog.
Meet Honeysuckle, or Honey as her foster calls her, a truly sweet and affectionate girl who thrives on companionship. She adores other dogs, considering every canine a potential friend, and enjoys playful wrestling and games of chase. Honey is also good with dog-savvy cats, though she's still figuring out why they don't always want to play. She's a professional chewer who loves a good yak chew, and she'll happily help you mulch any sticks in the yard. Honey is also a dedicated supervisor, especially when you're in the bathroom, ensuring you're protected from all lurking monsters!
As a wonderful blend of Golden Retriever and Labrador Retriever, Honeysuckle embodies the best traits of both breeds: intelligence, friendliness, and a zest for life. She's a highly trainable dog, having already completed basic obedience and agility classes, and knows many commands like sit, down, and stay. Her breed mix means she's energetic and requires mental and physical stimulation. She thrives in a home with another similar-sized, playful, and confident dog to help her navigate new experiences and share in her fun.
Honeysuckle's ideal home will feature a physically fenced yard where she can safely zoom and sunbathe, as she is not a candidate for e-collars or invisible fences. She needs patient adopters who will continue her training and socialization, especially helping her with her initial shyness around new people and her excited greetings with children. Honey loves car rides, walks well on a leash, and is fully potty and crate trained. If you're looking for a loving, playful, and loyal companion who will bring endless joy and a few gentle groans to wake you up, Honeysuckle is ready to find her forever family!
