My name is Honey!

F | approx. 2 | Bulldog mix | Spayed | UTD | Dog and People friendly | Fostered in Orillia, ON

Honey is pure perfection and her name suits her because of it. She is literally as sweet as Honey. She LOVES to cuddle and will try and curl as close to you/on you as possible. When she is with her people she has a permanent smile and you can’t help but smile too. She exudes pure joy in every aspect of her life now (she was pulled from the shelter not too long ago where she wasn’t thriving). She just wants to please her people - She is going to make someone very happy. Her foster mom thinks she’d excel as a sport dog. As long as she’s with us she will get to try out some sports with her foster mom. Her foster mom also had this to say about her, “If we didn’t have a cat and the cat didn’t hate her she would be staying. She is THAT perfect.”

Dog friendly? Honey has had exposure to both small and big dogs. She can become reactive and mouthy so we feel she’ll do best with lower energy and balanced dogs. When playing with other dogs she should be monitored 

Honey IS reactive to other dogs she doesn’t know and needs proper introductions. She is unsure and that is where her reactivity comes from. We are working on her confidence building and socialization and she is becoming much better.

Cat friendly? ❌ she has been exposed to a cat in her foster home and she displayed an intense prey drive and feel she would do best in a cat-free home 

Kid friendly? ❌ because of Honey’s prey drive and behaviour around things that move fast it is not recommended 

People and strangers Honey has met men and women and been fine. She is very friendly towards people and LOVES her people intensely.

House trained ✅ 
Crate trained ✅ 

Honey is crate and house trained and has learned basic obedience. While she is with her foster she will continue to be exposed to other levels of training including clicker, pattern games and other confidence building games

Honey loves to snuggle but will happily sleep in the crate and go in the crate when left home alone. 

Leash manners Honey walks well on a leash and is learning to manage her reactivity on leash quite well.

Car rides? Honey is awesome in a car however due to her anxiety she does become heightened in new places. She is continually being exposed to new situations and places to help her through her anxiety.

Honey is extremely food motivated and loves training. She also loves tug-of-war and de-stuffing stuffed animals (common terrier trait!) 

No food aggression or toy aggressive noticed Honey eats her meals and high value treats in her crate. She plays nicely with other dogs with toys 

Energy Level:  She is a medium/high energy dog. She has a good “off” button but when she is ON she is on. She needs an experienced owner who understands the terrier breed, their needs and can ensure she stays safe and her needs are met and boundaries respected.
 
**Honey has pretty severe allergies. When she came to us she was bald and splotchy. She is now strictly fed raw, no feathers and also receives an allergy supplement and is being weaned off of Apoquel. There is a chance she may have to stay on Apoquel, we won’t know until she is done being weaned**

Honey is being fostered in Orillia - any potential adopters need to be able and willing to travel to Orillia for meet and greets
