After the recent adoption of last week’s featured pet Lucas, the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA) is highlighting another deserving canine ready for her forever home: Honey, a 2-year-old mixed breed whose warm personality matches her golden-tan coat.
Weighing 49 pounds, Honey represents the ideal companion for families seeking a dog past the unpredictable puppy stage but still energetic enough for an active lifestyle. Shelter volunteers describe her as affectionate and intelligent, with a temperament suited for both outdoor adventures and quiet evenings at home.
“Honey is the kind of dog who’s just as happy hiking a trail as she is curling up next to you on the couch after a long day,” according to her shelter profile. The brown and white mixed breed has already mastered basic training commands and shows eagerness to learn additional skills with her future family.
Maria Stebbins, an AWLA volunteer, emphasizes Honey’s versatility as a companion animal. The dog enjoys daily walks, interactive playtime and post-exercise relaxation sessions, making her suitable for households with varying activity levels.
Prospective adopters can schedule a meet-and-greet with Honey by contacting the Alexandria Animal Welfare League. Shelter staff recommend allowing time for the adjustment period as Honey settles into her new environment.
The shelter notes that adult dogs like Honey often make excellent additions to families due to their established personalities and reduced need for intensive house training compared to younger puppies.
Honey is available for adoption under ID number A098878. Interested families can find additional information about her care requirements and adoption process through the Alexandria Animal Welfare League’s website or by visiting the facility directly.
For those seeking a faithful companion ready for both neighborhood strolls and weekend road trips, Honey may prove to be the loyal friend they’ve been searching for.
