Honey

Introducing Honey! This poor girl found herself in a public shelter in Romania and to say she was terrified, would be an understatement. The shelter is massively over capacity due to the amount of dogs that are dropped off there and Poor Honey was getting so badly bullied by the other dogs, it was just awful. One day, she was so scared that she tried to chew her way through the metal bars in an absolute frantic panic, when the workers got to her, there was blood absolutely everywhere. Honey was pulled to safety and after seeing the photos, we agreed to take her in at Oakwood and so she was prepped for her journey. Another 30 days and the nightmare in Romania would finally be over for her. Since arriving at Oakwood, Honey was very shut down for the first weeks or so. She was too scared to leave her kennel or be anywhere near the staff, at times she'd wee herself in her bed if she thought we were approaching. We've been giving Honey as much time and space as she needs, and over the past few days she has started venturing out of her kennel with the help of her dog pals. She is slowly starting to get a little fussy to see us and getting close enough for sniffs. Honey still has a very long journey ahead of her but she's already made massive progress in just a couple of weeks, her future is certainly looking up for her and she's so sweet natured, she deserves nothing but kindness for the rest of her days. Honey loves being around gentle natured dogs. Any dogs that are too boisterous and in her face worry her, but ones that will be able to read her body language and give her the space she needs, but to also encourage her to come out of her shell would be everything to her. Honey has been cat tested & she showed no prey drive. She gave the cat a few gentle sniffs on a loose lead. She was very scared of being in a new environment but this cat test with us, along with the one she had in Romania, we have seen no signs of her wanting to cause a cat any harm. Children: 14+ [must be very calm and mature]. Other dogs: Yes, could live or without another dog. Cats: Yes.
