Story
HONEY is a 7-year-old F1B Goldendoodle who was rescued from a puppy mill. We have had her for five and a half years, and she is considered one of our Sanctuary Dogs, meaning she could potentially stay with us for life. However, if she finds the right adoptive home, that would be wonderful. Honey tends to bond more easily with women than with men. She would thrive as the only dog in the household since she craves attention and companionship. When she first arrived, Honey was terrified of humans, but her fear has gradually diminished. Once she forms a bond with someone, she becomes the sweetest and most lovable dog to them. Like others in our sanctuary, Honey is not a social butterfly and is unlikely to become one. Honey receives grooming every two months and rides well in the car. While she can walk on a leash to the groomer, she is somewhat afraid of it. Daily leash walks may not be feasible for her due to her fear. What she truly needs is a safe backyard and a loving home. If you go on vacation, it's important to have a dog sitter come to your home, as she does not handle trips or boarding well. Honey has become somewhat protective of her people. When guests arrive, she tends to keep her distance, but there have been instances where she nipped at a stranger's ankles if they turned their back, then quickly ran away. We believe this behavior is her way of trying to protect us. It has never escalated beyond a nip and does not occur with everyone. It's best to introduce her to your guests using treats or to keep her in another room during visits. Due to the possibility of nipping, Honey would do best in a home without children. Additionally, she should be the only pet, as she is the alpha dog in her foster home and has shown signs of growling at other dogs. She does not engage in play with them; her priority is her people. With all that being said, she is the most lovable dog with us.  Honey is calm and has no anxiety issues. She can be trusted to free roam the house without a crate and will not chew or get into things. She is very well-behaved. To adopt Honey, you need a secure, fenced-in yard and someone home during the day. Potential adopters must be located within one hour of Northwest Indiana. Honey is vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $100.  ##2057193##
