Senior dogs are constantly overlooked for younger dogs, but people are missing out on amazing companions.

The wise old souls are full of love and have already mastered basic commands and housetraining. They just need someone to give them a chance.

A 10-year-old hound dog named Honey is as sweet as her name. She has been patiently waiting for someone to choose her at an animal rescue in Jacksonville, North Carolina.

Adoption First Animal Rescue recently held an adoption event at a local pet store to show off some of their adoptable pets, including Honey. She was on her best behavior and rested quietly in her crate as people passed by.

Sadly, she was overlooked at the event as well.

A heartbreaking video posted on TikTok by the rescue shows Honey looking at people as they stroll right by her. Many tears were shed by people who watched the sad video, but they shared it in hopes of finding Honey the loving home she deserves.
