Since the shelter she has put on nearly twenty pounds (she used to just melt into the floor!) and is taller than our golden retriever. Like all dogs she loves to learn by smell, but will put her face directly on my face to see what I’ve been up to during the day. She will occasionally still jump on company or if she’s really excited, but she also loves to stand on her hind legs with her front ones draped over my arm for a little chat. We had our first trip to the lake and she went right in the water and enjoyed all the new smells. She loves to go for walks and does well on the leash. On a recent park visit she ignored people walking and running, and was unfazed by bikes zooming past. She walked nicely past other dogs, however did not want them to approach us as we sat on a bench. Because she occasionally has tension with one of her foster siblings, Honey should be the only dog in the home. She started off not liking children but is now realizing they are not a threat, however due to her size it would be best not to live with littles. Honey is crate trained for when we are away from home as she still has some puppy in her and will chew something she’s not supposed to. She is crated at night because there are already dogs in the humans’ beds, but she would be fine to sleep loose in a bedroom with her people. One of Honey’s most notable qualities (and the reason we have nicknamed her Pepper, being a little spicy) is she can be quite vocal. She is very protective of us and our home, and will let us know if there is something out of the ordinary. We use the command Hush or Shh and she will settle down. She will also look directly into our eyes and let us know if we have forgotten mealtime or if there is a bird outside she wants to chase. For her safety, Honey needs a tall fence. She once “parkoured” off of ours chasing a squirrel! Honey has strong recall, and has basic obedience. She knows sit, down, and shake, and words like outside, potty, eat/hungry, crate, and off. She is very intelligent and highly trainable. She loves treats and fresh fruits and vegetables and takes them gently. We think Honey is a wonderful dog. She is beautiful, intelligent, protective, and loyal, and is ready to meet her forever family! Honey is a female border collie mix around a year old and 60 pounds. Her energy level is that of a typical one year old dog. She loves to run free in a safe space and play “come and get me” with her foster brother. While she LOVES to play with HIM she can be picky about who she is friends with so it would be best for her to be the only dog in the home. Honey has mastered the commands come, sit, down, shake, off, inside/outside, and crate, and seems to enjoy learning new things and the treat that comes with it! Honey walks fairly well on a leash and appears to be housebroken. I think she would like an outdoorsy family who goes on adventures! She is a wonderful companion and will follow you outside, inside, and room to room, and will stare at you for attention. She rides beautifully in the car and sleeps in her crate at night. She hasn’t shown interest in balls or fetch but does like to chew the hard bones. Honey requires a fenced yard (no apartments) to safely roam, and no cats or children to chase. PRBCR needs a satisfactory vet reference with records of annual exam, vaccines, heartworm test, and purchase records for your dogs monthly year round heartworm preventatives, and vetting for cats. We adopt to homes in NC, SC, and GA. The adoption fee is $300.00, and the final step of the application for adoption process is the home visit. Adopters agree to follow positive training methods and to NOT use pinch, spray, prong, shock, choke, chain, electronic, or adverse training method collars, including invisible fence collars.
