As you probably already know, Honey was adopted! But her story was too important not to tell…
It all happened the first time I volunteered (ever) at our favorite shelter . I decided to take Honey for a walk. She was very timid but very sweet. She didn’t want to go far but you’ll never believe what she did want….
She wanted a HUG! The moment she placed both her paws on my shoulders, I knew she chose me to rescue her, to advocate for her. After that day, I couldn’t get Honey off my mind and I needed to find out more about her including what my options were as a new rescue with limited resources and funds.
Honey ended up as a new mama in the shelter after being trapped. She was terrified of all the noises around her especially with having to care for her 10 beautiful babies. She did everything she could to protect them in the situation/enviroment they were in. Eventually all her babies secured rescue, but unfortunately Honey was hw+. This fact left her hanging out at the shelter far too long. She didn’t deserve to be there, she deserved the world! The thought of this led us to take our first hw+ dog into rescue. Although it wasn’t always easy, we don’t regret a second of it!
The combination of being a recent mama straight out of the shelter and receiving hw injections was too much for Honey. It really took a toll on her mind and body. She had no idea where she was or what was happening. She was still scared and she was irritable from all the medication. Honey needed so many things, from patience to love to a confident foster who she could trust and most importantly, she needed time. Thankfully, with all those things, Honey blossomed right in front of our eyes. She’s by far the most special dog (to me) who came into our rescue, to the point I even thought about adopting her myself! However, the moment Viktoria and Nick came along, I knew in my heart Honey belonged with them. I can’t even begin to explain all the reasons why and all the signs that led her adopters to her (to us). But everything just felt right!
If you love Honey and her story as much as we do, follow to watch her continue to thrive and be spoiled rotten! 🍯🐝
