Honeycomb
Hello, my name is Honeycomb. My animal id is #241934. I am a desexed male white dog at the Queens Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years 3 months 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 11/18/2025.
Honeycomb is on the at risk list for medical reasons. Honeycomb is a sweet dog who has had intermittent to persistent diarrhea in shelter. He has continued to test positive for giardia despite multiple treatments. His diarrhea has not been responsive to treatments available in shelter. He is becoming more stressed in kennel and continues to reinfect himself by smearing feces. Behaviorally, Honeycomb has allowed all medical handling.

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. Honeycomb is on the at risk list for medical reasons. Honeycomb is a sweet dog who has had intermittent to persistent diarrhea in shelter. He has continued to test positive for giardia despite multiple treatments. His diarrhea has not been responsive to treatments available in shelter. He is becoming more stressed in kennel and continues to reinfect himself by smearing feces. Behaviorally, Honeycomb has allowed all medical handling. What my friends at ACC say about me: My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet! I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe. I will need daily physical activity to keep me healthy and happy! Honeycomb is a curious and intelligent dog participating in our Shelter Scholars program, where he's learning to manage on-leash reactivity through focus-building games and structured walking routines. He's beginning to replace reactive responses with calmer engagement, showing encouraging progress each step of the way.

Date of intake:: 11/18/2025
Date of initial:: 11/18/2025
Summary:: loose and wiggly, highly treat-motivated
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 2
Recommendations:: No young children (under 5)
Recommendations comments:: No young children (under 5): Due to Honeycomb's mouthiness and basic manner, we recommend that he be placed in a home with No young children (under 5).
Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition,Anxiety,Other
Potential challenges comments:: Basic manners/poor impulse control: Honeycomb is noted to jump up often in a social manner. Teach a default sit and reward calm greetings. Consistent reinforcement and ignoring jumping will help reduce this behavior. Please see the handout on Basic manners/poor impulse control. Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition: Honeycomb is noted to become mouthy towards the handler's hand. Redirect to appropriate toys and reward gentle interactions. Please see the handout on Mouthiness/poor bite inhibition. Anxiety: Honeycomb is noted to display heavy panting and pacing during his handling assessment. Use calming techniques, enrichment, and short, positive sessions to reduce stress. Please see the handout on generalized anxiety. Other: Honeycomb got loose from his kennel room and approached another dog in a different room, returning back to his kennel. While the handler for the novel dog used the door to block Honeycomb from the other dog, the other novel dog was able to squeeze his head out from the door's crack and bit and held onto Honeycomb's ear. The novel let go of Honeycomb ear when the handler was able to close the door. Staff checked both dogs and noted that Honeycomb had a puncture wound on his ear which produced a small amount of blood. Honeycomb was reported to not have bitten the other dog.Per the exam, the doctor checked both ears where the lesion/puncture was reported to be and noted some small area of thinner hair but no fresh puncture wounds, scratches or lacerations.
