About Honey
**Please do not apply if you do not have the time or patience to work through Honey's reactivity issues when she's out on a walk. She never left her yard in her previous home so needs time to become confident in the big wide world**
Honey is a 4 year old female German Short-Haired Pointer x Bull Arab. She is the smartest and most loving and loyal dog. When Honey first came into care she did not have any basic obedience, but she has come such a long way while in care. Honey is fully house trained, has never destroyed anything while in care and sleeps well through the night on her own in the living room. Honey knows to sit, go to her bed, wait for her food and is learning to drop and stay.
Prior to arriving in Forever Friends' care, Honey had never left her backyard, and it was clear she had recently had a litter of pups. Her owner surrenderred her as they had too many dogs. Honey is currently living with a young labrador, but she is not very tolerant of high-energy play styles so slow introductions and supervision would be required if she were to live with another dog.
Honey is still learning to be comfortable with the outside world. She needs someone who will gradually build her confidence with the distractions of the big wide world, because at present she is fearful and reactive of lots of triggers (other dogs, bikes, skateboards etc).
Honey does not exhibit any separation anxiety and once she is settled in her new home, she would be fine to be left alone, while her family goes to work, especially if she has a Kong filled with yummy treats, a horn or a hoof or a juicy bone to entertain herself with.
Ideally Honey’s new home will have a medium/large yard for her to run in and a family committed to taking her for 1-2 daily walks. She would greatly benefit from ongoing obedience training. She would do best as either an only dog in a household or with a very calm dog. No cats or kids.
