Honey Boo
Hello, my name is Honey Boo. My animal id is #221905. I am a desexed female gray dog at the . The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 1 months 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 3/7/2025.

Someone has already placed a deposit on me. I'm no longer available.
Honey Boo is on for medical concerns. Honey Boo is a sweet girl who is on treatment for leptospirosis. She is currently on oral antibiotics and has been responding to treatment well. The infection has affected her kidney function so this is something that would need to be monitored in the future. Leptospirosis is contagious to other animals and to people. We are not able to provide Honey Boo with the care that she needs in a crowded shelter environment. Honey Boo has a $500 stipend.

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 love to be loved, but on my own terms! Let's brush up on some canine body language together! I have medical needs that staff will address with you when you meet me. I'll need immediate follow up with a vet after I go home.

Summary:: Due to Honey Boo entering the facility as a stray, there is no prior dog-to-dog history recorded. 03/09/25 Honey Boo is introduced to a novel male dog while off leash at the care center. Honey Boo will approach the gate with a neutral frame, scenting the novel male dog through the gate. Honey Boo will begin spreading her scent as a form of displacement, catching zoomies right after, running away from the gate. Honey Boo will not re-approach the gate, maintaining her distance as she displaces, sniffing away from the gate. Honey will ignore the novel male dog for the remainder of the interaction. Honey Boo is returned to kennel, concluding the interaction.

Date of initial:: 3/7/2025
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 3
Recommendations:: No children (under 13)
Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to resource guarding we recommend a home with no children.
Potential challenges: : Resource guarding,Fearful,Anxiety
Potential challenges comments:: Resource Guarding: Honey has been observed to snap at a stick that a handler was using to remove pills while she was eating. We recommend that Honey be left alone while eating, and that food guarding behavior modification steps (available at ASPCApro.org) be utilized if this behavior is problematic in their future home. Nothing should ever be taken directly out of Honey's mouth, and any time something is removed they should be rewarded with a high value treat or toy. Please see handout on Resource Guarding. Fearful/Anxiety- Honey Boo began to display heavy panting, lip licking and shaking during her assessment. Managing her anxiety will require creating a calm environment, providing enrichment activities, and using stress-reducing techniques like puzzle toys and regular exercise. Please see handout on generalized anxiety and decompression.
