Plenty of Pets
Honey is a two-year-old, high-energy dog who would like to have a home where she can get lots of exercise.
She also needs some training, and her new person would need to attend obedience classes with her.
Because of her high energy and need for training, a home where children are at least 12 is recommended.
Honey would prefer to be the only pet in the house, so no one is competing for her family’s attention.
Honey is an adoptable with the Colchester SPCA, and can be seen at the shelter on Industrial Avenue.
