My story

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

Honey Bee

Fila Brasileiro (Brazilian Mastiff) and Border Collie mutt mix.
9 Months old
Good with dogs who have respectful energy
Up to date on vaccines and preventive care
Spayed
70 lbs

Honeybee is an owner surrendered due to high leash reactivity and being aggressive. Her previous owner is committed to her needs and is working with us to make sure she has the best future. HoneyBee is sweet, smart, loving, playful, goofy, lap dog, cuddle bug, super affectionate dog but needs someone that can make clear boundaries.

She has been with our favorite trainer, Lisa with Well Balanced Dogs for a board and train. She is working in a pack setting to learn boundaries, structure, and socialization.

Our trainers update on HoneyBee :

“She integrated beautifully, has had very positive interactions with my Balanced Pack who I am grateful for. She's learning appropriate social skills. This is a perfect example of a dog who needed more structure and more boundaries and some clarification on what is OK and what's not OK behavior. She is absolutely thriving. She very very easily was heading down a road of being labeled an "aggressive reactive dog" and been eventually euthanized. “

We know HoneyBee is a fantastic dog and her forever home is out there!
