My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Honey is a 6.5 year old 55lb Ridgeback mix with a gentle and sensitive soul.

Honey was initially rescued from severe abuse when found bound by her legs, being dragged behind a car. Because of this, Honey grew up extremely fearful and is still working through this unspeakable trauma. Despite these circumstances, Honey continues to build confidence, independence and socialize with other dogs to help let go of her past.

You may recognize Honey from Dog: Impossible on Nat Geo WILD. Her original caretaker had rescued her directly from the shelter in San Diego and raised her on her own for many years. She was able to nurse Honey back to health and show her what it meant to be loved unconditionally.

However, when she married things took a turn for Honey, who became jealous, possessive and lashed out at her husband. Although THE ZEN DOG was able offer ways to re-balance the family’s relationships, when they announced they had a baby on the way in late 2019, everyone knew major changes needed to be made and quickly; the risk of adding a baby into the dynamic was too great, even with the progress made.

Honey was surrendered to THE ZEN DOG and is now in Real Time Rescue’s care to help her find a new home. She would do best with a couple - or a single person - equally dedicated to her care. Honey gets along best with large, male dogs, loves walks, essential oils and sunbathing!

THE ZEN DOG will help anyone interested in fostering or adopting Honey with integrating her into your home- going through the process together step by step to help you build a lasting bond based on respect, trust and love.
