HONEY - RED HEELER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Red Heeler / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $150. Meet Honey, a stunning 6-year-old (estimated) Heeler blend with a heart as golden as her name. Originally from Oklahoma, Honey spent the last several years in a loving home, but she recently joined our care after her owner was needing to move and wasn't able to take Honey along. While she has faced some big changes lately, this resilient girl is ready to find a dedicated partner to share in her next great adventure. Honey is mostly deaf, though she has shown to occasionally pick up on certain pitches/tones; however, her hearing loss doesn't slow her down one bit. In fact, she is an incredibly bright girl who has mastered an impressive vocabulary of ASL (American Sign Language) commands. From basics like sit, stay, and shake, to more specific signs like "ball," "go to bed," and even "cat/dog," Honey navigates the world with her eyes and her sharp intellect, proving that communication goes far beyond sound. In the home, Honey is a devoted companion who truly thrives on human attention. While she has gotten along with other dogs of alike size in the past, she prefers the "only child" lifestyle, as she can become jealous or annoyed when she has to share the spotlight with other canines. She is also looking for a home without feline friends. When meeting new people, Honey tends to gravitate toward women more quickly, but with a patient introduction and a little time, she happily opens up to everyone. Because she loves her people so much, she does experience some separation anxiety and will let out a high-pitched whine when left alone. Her perfect match would be a household where someone is home more often than not to provide the companionship and reassurance she craves. Honey is fully prepared for her fresh start: she is already spayed, microchipped, and current on all of her vaccinations. This smart, soulful gal is just waiting for a family who will appreciate her unique way of communicating and reward her loyalty with plenty of love. If you are looking for a dog who will watch you with unwavering devotion and learn alongside you, Honey is ready to sign "yes" to forever with you.
