About 2-1/2 years ago some nice people brought me into the Florence Area Humane Society. They said they had found me roaming Honeyman Campground. I am kind of honey colored and I can be pretty darn sweet so the name stuck. I love to play and occasionally I get a little hyper but not to worry, the shelter staff will give me some tasty treats that help to calm me and they seem to work pretty good!
