Honey requires an approved Best Friend Pet Adoption application   The link to our application is in the dogs bio below.       Honey is a beautiful 4-year-old Hound mix girl who weighs 50 pounds.  She is a cuddle-bug who loves to hang with her human!   Honey is completely housebroken and crate trained! She is very food motivated and has been relatively easy to train.  She willingly goes into her crate with the command "go to kennel".  She sleeps in my bedroom on the bed next to me since she no longer needs to be crated at night.  Honey's activity level is low to moderate.  A fenced in yard would be a luxury but Honey does very well with leash walking for exercise and potty breaks.  She walks on a loose leash and usually on the right hand side of her human. She does like to weave sometimes, so the human has to pay attention.  If there are distractions around (e.g., other dogs), then Honey needs to walk on a tight leash with treats given to her.  Honey stands politely to get her leash put on with the command "let's get dressed". When we are finished with our walk, to remove the leash her command is "let's get undressed". Honey lets you know when there are others around.  She will bark when the garbage truck comes by, the mailman delivers the mail and when she hears any other dog barking. We are working on the command "that's enough" to stop her barking and she is learning quickly. I work from home so Honey is used to having a person around the majority of the time each workday and on weekends. I think Honey would be ok being home alone. I recommend that she be kenneled if left alone at home for many hours in the beginning as she is adjusting/learning to be home alone.  Honey is friendly but first-time meetings sometimes may require some treats. She would do best in a home with older teenage children who have respect for animals.  She should to be the only dog in the house but would be fine with a cat sibling.  Honey is a cuddle-bug. She loves attention and will sit with me while I work at home. She is very smart and has learned "sit", "stay" and "come”.  We are working on boundaries and Honey knows that the kitchen is off limits. She also steers clear of the cat food. Honey likes to play with toys and has a wide variety to choose from here. She loves to give her paw to you to show affection. When Honey trusts you, she will lay on her back for belly rubs. We have this routine that we go through every day to show Honey how much she is loved. She loves to hang with her human!  Honey is a truly special pup! Applicants must live no further than one hour from Raleigh/Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian /volunteer for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized. Foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions.  We therefore require applicants to live within one hour drive of Raleigh/Cary NC. EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Honey was found as a stray and the shelter was not able to find her family.  BFPA took in Honey and shortly after found out she was pregnant.  She gave birth to 10 puppies but sadly only 7 survived.  Honey took great care of her puppies who have all been adopted.  Now it is Honeys turn to find her forever home. Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.    Applicants must ideally live no further than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized.  Our foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions.  We therefore prefer applicants to live within an hours drive of Cary NC.  For the right home for Honey, we may consider applicants who live a bit further away.    INTERESTED IN ADOPTING HONEY?
