Here's what the humans have to say about me:
WANTED: The most wonderful person in the world who is loving, kind, patient and willing to share their home with a sweet, laid-back senior girl. I'm Honey Girl. Are you the one person in the world I am looking for??? I've been waiting for you for such a very, very long time. I was 'dropped off' in 2002 at the Humane Society when I was just six months old and have seen many of my dog friends find new families. I get really shy when people come because it is so hard to get my hopes up and then see them walk past me. So I kind of just hide so that I don't cry. I have almost given up hoping for a forever family and home. The shelter people keep telling me I am such a sweet, gentle, laid-back girl that anyone would be thrilled to have me.... they tell me not to give up.
I am a Boxer mix with beautiful eyes and tiger-striped coloring. They say I am small in size, (but that means I am short), I have lost my girlish figure, am quite a chunk actually, but my friends assure me that this happens with age. They say I am 'sweet as honey,' that's how I got my name. I am currently living in the groom room at the kennel with my buddy, Rainman, and am HOUSETRAINED (which seems to be a good thing)! I have one volunteer friend who took me to an adoption event and has been bragging about me ever since. She looked at me laying beside her and I looked deep in her eyes for a long time, she told me that eye contact is a sign of intelligence and she knew I was special….that made me feel so good, for someone to see beyond my shyness… She also found out that I don't like to have my picture taken! I quickly learned what that contraption with the flash was and every time she tried to sneak it out to take my picture, I would turn around and face the wall! She thought that was really funny; I had a good time with her.
I like some other male dogs, like my friend Rainman, but can be a little cranky with younger dogs and would do best in a quiet home. I like to take walks. I really am very calm and quiet - I wouldn't be a bother to you. I just want a home, my very own special person, and someone to love me and share the rest of my life with. As my friend said, “there is something special inside Honey Girl, I can see it in her eyes.” What they see is a lifetime of love and devotion that I have been saving for my new person. I dream at night of a forever home and family. I hope you are that person and you will come and get me soon.
