About Honey
About Honey
Honey is a sweet girl and all around wonderful dog. She is very intelligent and extremely trainable. Like most dogs she loves car rides, but she will leave a trail of white hair and drool on your window while her head hangs out of it! She is crate trained, however she doesn’t love it. She is growing out of her mischievous puppy/teenage phase and is well behaved inside. As a Velcro dog tends to, she would love to sleep in the bedroom with you but doesn’t usually care to sleep in the bed. Beware, once she knows you are awake in the morning she is ready to go! Honey loves to work on training or go for walks. For her security she will need a tall fence as she will chase birds and squirrels. Her energy level is typical for her age, and would benefit from daily walks. With some training she could learn some cool tricks. Before we broke the hula hoop she learned to jump through it! She has basic obedience such as come, sit, down, and shake, as well as a handful of other words like crate, inside, outside, no/leave it, up/down/off, and eat/hungry. She takes her reward of a treat or fruit/vegetable so gently!
Honey has earned the nickname Pepper for the pepper flecks on her nose, and for being the tiniest bit spicy. We have been working on accepting children and have made good progress, but she is a very tall girl with a strong bark and can be intimidating to them. That bark gets put to use when she senses danger, like the doorbell ringing. Thankfully she is unfazed by thunderstorms or fireworks (in the safety of the house). She generally gets along with the dogs she lives with, and is ok seeing other dogs in public, but does not want them to get in her space. Speaking of space, she WILL get all in yours! She loves for us to put our arm out and she’ll stand on her hind legs with her front ones on the arm. All so she can smell our faces when we come home from somewhere or stand face to face for a chat or upright snuggle.
Honey has done well at several area parks and the lake. She loves to smell new smells and go on adventures, and settle in the living room in the evening for pets. Her fur is incredibly soft, especially for someone who hates baths and only sometimes tolerates brushing. She has gotten better though – at first she wouldn’t even let us brush the other dogs!
This girl has been waiting patiently for her new family, but somehow the perfect fit hasn’t found her yet! We can’t wait for her people to find her, and love her.
Adopters agree to follow positive training methods and to NOT use pinch, spray, prong, shock, choke, chain, electronic, or adverse training method collars, including an invisible fence.
PRBCR needs a satisfactory vet reference with records of annual exam, vaccines, heartworm test, and purchase records for your dogs monthly year round heartworm preventatives, and vetting for cats. We adopt to homes in NC, SC, and GA. The adoption fee is $300.00, and the final step of the application for adoption process is the home visit.
