About Honey

Meet Honey: A Sweet Soul Seeking a Patient Home

Honey joined us after a change in her previous owner's circumstances meant they could no longer provide the care she deserves. She is a truly affectionate girl who greets people with a wagging tail and an open heart. A connoisseur of toys—particularly the soft, plush variety—Honey is at her happiest when she has a squeaky friend to carry around.

Life at Home & Social Preferences

Honey is a polite girl who previously lived with another dog, but prefers to have all the attention to herself, so she looking at being an only dog. Because she appreciates a predictable environment, she is best suited to a household with secondary school-aged children who have experience living with dogs.

Training & Management

While Honey is sweet-natured, she can a times be physically strong on the lead. Her new owners must be confident and physically capable of managing her during walks. She has shown great cleanliness in her kennel, though she may require a patient "refresher" in house training as she settles into a new routine. However she has spent many days and nights with a short term fosterer and is always perfectly clean. She travels well in the car but may need a little time to regain her confidence with travel.

Special Requirements

Honey’s past involved being left alone for longer than was ideal; consequently, she requires a home-based owner who can initially provide company before gradually building up her "alone time." A private, secure garden is essential for her play and relaxation.

Handling

Honey can have anxiety during clinical exams, she will need to be muzzled for all veterinary visits to ensure she feels safe and secure. Honey did very well at the vets on a recent visit, so once Honey has built a bond with a vet her anxiety is a lot less :)
