Some dogs don't need to be the loudest in the room to steal your heart. Hot Honey is a quiet gem.
This beautiful three-year-old brindle hound mix made the journey to Heartland all the way from Kentucky after her family made the heartbreaking decision to surrender her because they could no longer care for her.

She's arrived a little too thin at just 37 pounds, but we're already helping her put some healthy weight back on. Underneath that petite frame is one of the gentlest souls you'll ever meet. She is the definition of sweet and demure!

Hot Honey isn't the dog bouncing off the walls or clamoring to be the center of attention. Instead, she quietly waits her turn, watching the world with soft, soulful eyes. She is so endearing, it's hard not to fall in love.

In playgroups with other dogs, she's what we affectionately call a co-exister. She enjoys being around other dogs and happily shares space with them, but she's equally content simply doing her own thing. She's easygoing, polite, and brings a calming presence wherever she goes.

Her name may be Hot Honey, but she's less "spicy" and more like a warm drizzle of honey in your tea—comforting, gentle, and exactly what you didn't know you needed.

Hot Honey has already experienced the heartbreak of losing the only home she knew. We'd love for the next chapter of her story to be one where she never has to wonder where she belongs again.

If you've been looking for a dog who asks for very little but has so much love to give, Hot Honey is waiting to meet you.

Hot Honey's adoption fee is $300. She is spayed and up to date on core vaccines.

Like many dogs who come to us from the South, Hot Honey tested positive for heartworm disease. The good news is that heartworm is treatable, and she will receive her treatment through us.

Heartworm disease is common in dogs throughout the United States. It is a mosquito-borne disease and is not contagious to humans or other pets.

Heartworm disease is both preventable and curable. Once cured, a normal quality of life can be expected.

Hot Honey is currently on a 28 day course of antibiotics, after which she will receive three injections to treat her Heartworm (the first one will be on 8/19, with the next two on 9/22 and 9/23). All treatments will take place at our shelter with our veterinarian.

That will complete the treatment, but she will need a quick retest at the adopter's vet 9 months post-treatment to make sure that she is Heartworm-free.
