Honey Bear

Meet Honey Bear!

Honey Bear is a happy, tail wagging, sweet as can be, big hunk of energetic love wanting to share that with you! She loves people and any type of affection. She just loves to be touched! She’ll sit on command and will stare at you, wagging that tail as if to say, “Touch me, please!”

Honey is a quick study. She wants to do whatever you tell her to do. Sit – sure, down – sure, catch a treat – well, she’s trying really hard to get that one 100% (it’s so funny when the treat hits her nose and gets tossed across the room because she missed it). Best of all, she just wants to be with you. She’s the type of dog that sees you and gets overjoyed with enthusiasm. If you walk out the door and come back one minute later, she greets you again as if you’ve been gone all day; she has this way to make you smile. She’ll quickly settle down when you sit down and just hang out wherever you are.

Honey is very food motivated; she must get that from her labrador side. She definitely likes her toys – but FOOD trumps toys. And affection. She just loves any type of human attention! She’s so eager to learn new things and would be great at learning tricks. Honey Bear also LOVES the snow! She’ll dive into it and make snow angels.

We don’t know Honey’s background, since she came from a shelter. She’s comfortable being inside and on hardwood floors, goes up and down stairs, shows no fear of any type of household noises, and willingly goes in her crate. Best guess is she was an inside dog at some point in her life. Since she was a stray, she must have been left outside without a fenced yard.

Honey is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, tested negative for heartworms and tick diseases, she’s on heartworm preventative and flea/tick preventative, and has been dewormed. She’s been great with people and all the dogs she’s met. She walks well on a short lead, jumps into a vehicle to go for a ride, rides well in a crate in a car.  Honey doesn’t require the high energy outlets like a border collie or a labrador need. She has bursts of energy when she first sees you then settles down fast if there’s nothing going on. When outside, she’ll have that burst of energy for a few minutes, then come back to be with you.

What would Honey like for a future home? She’d like to have a fenced back yard, a dog friend, and a loving family or a human of her own that works from home that wants a good buddy type dog. She’d do best with older kids since she greets people exuberantly, which may be too much for most young children (she could easily bump into and knock over a younger person). She’s such a people person type dog; she just wants someone to love her.
