Meet Honor, mama to the Land Rover litter, one of seven who came to us from El Cajon after a family who couldn't keep the group. Thanks to fosters, we were able to step in to help. She's 9 years old and weighs 24 pounds. Honor's a spaniel mix, chestnut brown with a soft, feathered coat, and she carries a little wear on her teeth that hints at a past we can't fully piece together. She also has some mild arthritis, managed with a joint supplement, and it hasn't slowed down how much love she has to give. In her foster home she lives with a 6lb. Chihuahua, and the two of them cohabitate like old friends. Honor adores the daughter in her foster family and lights up around kids in general, seeking out human affection any chance she gets. She's not much for toys though, when the resident dog tried handing one over, Honor just looked at it, unsure what she was supposed to do with something that wasn't a person. She does great with other dogs, loves kids, and will absolutely take a pup cup if you're offering. Once she found a comfy dog bed, that became her whole world, though given the choice she'd rather be pressed up against someone she loves than curled up alone. If you think Honor sounds like the right fit for your family, head to hitlivingfoundation.org/adopt to apply. Est DOB: 03/11/2019 Adoption Fee: $350
🧠 Temperament
Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog. What the foster or shelter observed day to day is far more predictive than any breed guess.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Honor's a spaniel mix, chestnut brown with a soft, feathered coat, and she carries a little wear on her teeth that hints at a past we can't fully…. Varies with coat type.
