Honey

Honey has come an incredible distance from the frightened, withdrawn little dog who first came into our care.<br/><br/><br/><br/>She is still naturally independent and observant, and we don’t expect those qualities to disappear—they’re part of who Honey is. While you might expect a cattle dog to be constantly looking for something to do, Honey is perfectly content finding a comfortable spot and quietly watching the world around her. She likes to take everything in before deciding whether she wants to participate.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>New people and unfamiliar environments are still difficult for her. Honey’s first instinct is often to keep her distance and observe, and she needs time to decide that a person or situation is safe. We never force those interactions. Instead, we give her the space to make those decisions for herself, and that patience has allowed her confidence to grow tremendously.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Once Honey trusts you, you get to meet an entirely different little dog.<br/><br/>She is incredibly sweet and affectionate with the people she knows. She seeks out attention, enjoys cuddling on the couch, happily joins us for walks and adventures, and loves simply being near her people. The dog who once wouldn’t allow anyone close enough to touch her now chooses connection on her own.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>Despite spending so much of her early life outdoors, Honey has adapted beautifully to life inside and would be comfortable in either a house or an apartment. She doesn’t need a huge yard or a constantly active lifestyle to be happy—what matters most is having a predictable environment, her needs met, and people she feels safe with. Honey should, however, be the only dog in her home, where she can enjoy her space and build a relationship with her family without the added pressure of sharing her environment with another dog.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Honey will always need people who understand that her trust is something you earn rather than something you’re automatically given. But getting to know the sweet, quirky girl on the other side of that initial hesitation is absolutely worth the wait.<br/><br/><br/><br/>And if you happen to have a tortilla? You may be able to speed up the friendship process just a little.
