All dogs and puppies require supervision and training to be successful. Hi, my name is Honeysuckle but my foster just calls me Honey, because I am so sweet. I am a sensitive gal and very cautious with new people and situations. I love other dogs; I actually think all dogs are my friends, so you may need to help me around those that aren't interested in being friends. I do require a home with another similarly sized, playful, confident dog to help with all the new things and who will share their toys, bones, etc with me. I love playing tug and wrestling with other dogs. I also enjoy chasing them when they chase a ball or have a toy so I can get it from them so they chase me. I am not from MN but I enjoyed frolicking & rutting around in the snow. The ice I didn't enjoy, my legs went everywhere but underneath me.. I didn't mind the cold, even though I am a Texas girl, I just pretended it's warm out. Rain, that doesn't bother me. Thunder, well that is some scarey stuff. I love the outdoors, especially since it has warmed up. I will need a fenced yard as I enjoy running, I am very fast and I have a good amount of energy; I also enjoy sunbathing outdoors, taking in the fresh air & am part of the neighborhood watch committee. I am NOT a candidate for ecollars/invisible fence/long line/etc so I do require a physical fence. I love children and take treats very gently so I don't scare them when I am outside of the home. I do however get super excited when kids come into the home, but I do settle down eventually. My foster borrows the neighbor kids to help me work on this, but I still need some more work to help me not play like an oversized puppy with them. I don't understand why I can't wrestle with them, I watch them do it in their yard playing something they call, football? I have been around an infant and they are great, I enjoy cleaning their face and hands. I can carry on a conversation with them when they squeel and giggle, I'm not sure what they are saying, but my foster says it's fun to watch, but still keep a close eye on me as I am still young like them and I don't want to make a mistake. I can be mouthy, especially when I am excited, but sometimes when I want your attention I will use that to gain it. Did I mention that I LOVE belly rubs? I can be unsure when new people come into the home and and will bark at them. If they give me some treats, a few minutes to observe them and the other dog(s) are ok with them, I will become friends with them too. I just want to protect my home and humans. With some more practice I am sure I will get better with this too. I have been working so hard and those people tha I now know who visit but don't live there I am great at welcoming them. I am a professional chewer. Beware of stuffies as I swallow small chunks that I chew off & the squeakers; so my foster only allows with supervision. I enjoy pigs ears, collagen chews, yak chews, cheek rolls, knee caps, retriever rolls and dogwood type chews to keep me occupied. I will also help you mulch any sticks in your yard. My supervisory skills are top notch, especially when you are in the bathroom. I will make sure you are fully protected from any monsters that may lurk in there while you use it and will lay down outside the door if I cannot get in to keep a watchful eye. I sleep on a dog bed in my foster's room all night long and supervise from a dog bed or lay at her feet when she works from home. I enjoy a good snuggle when humans are on the couch, and I like to sneak on the bed for a snuggle when it's allowed. I know I would LOVE to sleep in a bed with my humans. I am fully potty trained. I go hang out by the door and hope you will see me to let me outside but if I really need to go I will tap on the window. I also know how to use a doggy door if you have one, they sure are handy as I like to go in and out fequently. I am usually fairly quiet when in my kennel. I can get vocally excited when playing with other dogs, my foster says I purr when I play. I do bark when outside at new things and some of the neighbor dogs, but once I know things are safe and secure, I am good to go and mind my own business. I heard them say that I redirect well.<br/>I am crate trained, I go right in when told, but don't forget to pay me for doing a good job. This is also my safe space. I am ok chewing my high value treats in there or eating my dinner if necessary due to other animals in the home. But don't worry, I don't resource guard anything when outside of the kennel either. My foster gives these things in the kennel just to make sure I can handle any senario I may encounter and don't become too spoiled only being given outside of the crate. I have learned that car rides are fun and I hop right up into the back seat floor of the van onto the dog bed and stay there quietly for the trip. I have also learned that leashes aren't a bad thing; I am told I walk well on leash. They both usually mean something fun is going to happen or at minimum I will get some treats. I am cautious in new situations, but if you're confident, I will be too. Just give me a minute to process what is going on. I may jump at a new sound but will also check it out if I am able. I have been through a basic obedience class and some agility classes, I am getting very brave at trying new things. I have a good start for my new home to set us both up for success. I have been enjoying agility classes more and more each time I go. Please keep up on my training outside the home as I have learned so many new things with the classes to help me overcome my fears and timidness. Working on this only at home isn't enough for me. I need the socialization skills. My foster or the rescue can suggest some places to bring me to for keeping up with what I have made progress on. It will also help me bond with you and keep me up on socializing. I can't promise that I won't make you start over with some of my skills, but I do have them with my current foster and some are scarey for me to try in new places or with lots of distractions yet, but I will get there. I am not picky about my treats or food. I do like coconut oil, peanut butter, green beans, hot dogs, cheese, bannanas, carrots, ice cubes, cucumbers, blueberries, pineapple, peppers of all colors and pumpkin so far. I do not like red delicious apples; what a silly name for something that does not match what it's called. I enjoy being brushed. I don't mind my feet or backside being cleaned up or even my nails being trimmed but I am not a huge fan of bathtime, but I tolerate it now. You will need patience as I adjust. I may just hang out to observe everything for a while, but keep me out where I can see/hear everything safely. I do want to be part of the happenings, but I do need a space to feel secure when things are just too much. I tend to shutdown when I am scared and unsure. My foster tells me I am a silly girl and near perfect. Do I sound like a perfect fit for you? If so, please apply for consideration on the rescue's website https://mattysheartandsoulanimalrescue.rescuegroups.org/
