Honey II

Honey is a 4-month-old, fawn colored Anatolian/Great Pyrenees Mix girl who is currently weighing in around 40lbs. She was part of an unwanted litter and we were more than happy to bring her and her brothers and sisters into rescue. These poor babies had been living outside and were covered in fleas … and ticks and underweight. We’re happy to report that Honey is now parasite free, bathed and on the way to the next step in her life where she will be loved and pampered by her foster family while working on all the new things in her life such as potty training, crate training and learning all about being indoors and what a good life she has to look forward too. She will require a family dedicated to her learning as she grows to ensure she gets all she needs right now to help her grow into an ambassadog for her breeds! Giant breed eperienced homes only. BDHP Puppy Policy – All puppies less than 12 months of age are too young to be spayed/neutered so they are adopted out on special puppy spay/neuter agreements with a $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit. Adopting families must agree to get the puppy altered within 2 weeks of 12 months of age (or when their growth plates close) and send proof of S/N to BDHPI accordingly. Adopting families are expected to pay an adoption fee of $550 minimum for puppies and will have the additional costs listed above, so please keep this in mind. When adopting a puppy, new families need to be prepared for not only a substantial financial investment, but also a significant time commitment in order to raise your puppy properly. Crate training is a critical part of setting them up for success as well as potty training. You can’t leave a puppy in the crate for longer than 4 hours max and they typically have to be let outside every hour when you are home since their bladder is not as big as an adult. You will want to make sure your puppy gets regular exercise and has plenty of mentally stimulating chew toys such as puzzle toys (food cubes, busy buddy toys, kongs, etc). Socialization the first 6 months is critical to their development socially and once they have had all of their shots, you will want to take your new puppy everywhere you can to get them used to meeting lots of new people, different dogs, and visiting places outside of the home. Obedience training is also extremely important (and actually part of our adoption agreement requirements) so that your puppy grows up to be a gentle giant instead of a giant monster!
