Honey is a long-haired chihuahua that was surrendered by her owner because they could no longer give her the care that she needs. Actually the story is a little more complicated, as her owner and child were homeless living in their car because no shelter would allow her owner to bring in a dog, let alone three.    She was adopted out and then the poor girl was found loose and we were called thanks to her collar id tag and microchip.
