Do you want to give a sweet soul a chance at a new life? Are you looking to add an affectionate dog to your family that needs some extra love and attention to show her the world is not always such a scary place? Honey is looking for her furrever home that can give her all the love she craves and that will help her enjoy all the things that life has to offer once she has settled in.
~ Honey can be very nervous of new people, she may require multiple meets before she is comfortable enough to go home with her new family. ~ She is looking for a quieter home with adults only as she does need to learn to come out of her shell and some big scary noises and fast movements can be a little much for her right now. ~ Honey's new family will need to sign her up for in-person training prior to adoption to help her learn her basic training, manners including jumping up on people, socialization, desensitizing and some reactivity due to fear. ~ She needs a house type home rather than apartment style mainly as she is too nervous to go through common areas. ~ Honey may take some time to warm up but she is getting better everyday! Once this girl is comfortable she will be your personal shadow asking for love as often as she can, she is just a big love bug.

She needs slow and positive introductions and after some time she becomes comfortable and comes out of her shell. - When she is comfortable with somebody she becomes very playful and active so will need daily exercise, enrichment and training. She can become jumpy when excited. - Honey is under-socialized and her new family will have to help her feel confident and safe with new people and environments slowly and positively.
