Tupelo Honey is an adoptable dog (Pit Bull) in Portland, Oregon.
Update: I’m happy to report that Tupelo Honey was adopted in late 2011 to a loving, single mom with no other kids to speak of. (Furry or otherwise) I’m thrilled that this sweet girl will be the center of someone’s world because after all she’s been through, she deserves it!
As many of you know, we currently have a foster dog-one Miss Tupelo Honey-who has really been through the ringer. Three weeks into her foster stint with us and she is finally in good shape, good health, good spirits and ready for adoption.
Let’s be honest-three weeks is a long time to have a sweet, furry being without loving it, so her adoption is going to be hard on us, but, we’re also really excited for her to find a forever home that gives her all the love and snuggles she deserves. Interested in adopting? Here is a little more on our girl.
7 reasons you shouldn’t pass on Tupelo Honey:
#7) Because her sad, lonely eyes will break your heart but your love can only heal hers.
#6) She’s a smart, smart lady; in just three weeks, sometimes perfectly emulating our Newman, she has learned what it means to be a house dog, from complete house training to scaling the scary, steep wooden stair case to and from our bedroom. She’s also learning to play fetch and bark at dogs when they walk by the house! (Bad Newman!)
#5) Because her name is Tupelo Honey – and she’s truly as sweet as it! And futhermore, she’s named after a Van Morrison album/song! You can’t beat that with a stick!
#4) Because she makes silly, squeal-y noises when she yawns and when she rolls around on her back in the grass that will make you laugh!
#3) Because her soul is as gentle as her soft, suede ears.
#2) Because she’s a survivor. Not only did she spend the first 6 years of her life breeding litter after litter of pups, but she was found wandering the streets of some tiny Northern California town, teeny Chihuahua in tow, scavenging cat food from the ladies at City Hall. Following that, she survived a nearly 12 hour animal transport ride to Portland, the one pit bull among a herd of tiny, yapper dogs, only to be told her belly tumor was, indeed, cancerous. HOWEVER, the vet is confident that she removed all the cancer (though, always a possibility that it could come back) and that Tupelo Honey is in good health. She feels great, looks great and is even starting to get a little pep in her step. It’s very encouraging!
#1) Because she needs you. She needs your love just like so many homeless dogs but more so in the fact that she’ll promise to earn every ounce of your affection with every slurpy kiss, snuggly nuzzle and gentle rub.
