Honey lost her home after struggling to adjust to a new baby, ending up in a high-intake shelter where her gentle, quiet nature put her at risk. Luckily, a cattle dog-savvy volunteer spotted her and facilitated her move to foster care in Santa Barbara, where she's been thriving. Honey embodies everything you look for in a classic Australian Cattle Dog: she’s bright, obedient, eager to please, and clearly well-trained. There’s a protective edge to her personality that is typical of her breed—she’ll keep a watchful eye on her people and keep the energy balanced at home. She lives peacefully with several other dogs of different shapes and ages, though she prefers dogs that don’t get too rowdy. Honey enjoys toys and balls, even if she isn’t big on playing with other dogs. Her comfort with cats is untested, and she’d need a proper introduction if considering a home with one. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and recently cleared her vet exam. Honey is house trained and brings the loyalty and intelligence this breed is known for.
