💕 Meet Rodie & Honey — a package deal you won’t want to miss! 💕

Some love stories just happen to come in a 100-pound hound mix and a 10-pound Shih Tzu mix. 🥰 Rodie and Honey are completely devoted to each other and MUST be adopted together.

🐶 Rodie, 9, is a 100-pound Hound/Lab mix and an absolute sweetheart. He’s gentle, laid-back, house-trained, and perfectly happy spending his days relaxing on the couch with his girl. He adores Honey and keeps a close eye on her—if she disappears, he’s looking for her! And despite his size, Rodie is convinced he belongs in your lap. 😂

🐕 Honey, 10, is a 10-pound Shih Tzu mix with a BIG personality. She’s sweet, spunky, and clearly the boss of this relationship. 💁‍♀️ She keeps Rodie company, looks out for him, and even grooms his ears with little kisses. She’s house-trained, affectionate, and completely in love with her big guy.

Together, they’re the perfect pair: he’s the gentle giant, she’s the tiny boss lady, and they’re happiest side by side. ❤️

If you have room in your heart—and your couch—for two very special seniors, Rodie & Honey are waiting to meet you! 🏡🐾
If you would be interested in this adorable duo (they must be adopted together), visit caninesandkittiesrescue.org for more information.
