Name: Honey Breed: Pittie mix Approximate age: 7-8 years Approximate size: ~60 lbs Good with dogs? Yes! She loves all our other dogs. Big dogs and small dogs everyone is her friend. She does not really play with other dogs but greatly enjoys their company. She does not care for puppies being in her face and will low growl. Cats? Unknown, but we can test her Kids? Yes! We have 5 kids, ages 7-17. I trust her with any of them. She is very sweet and kind even when she is nervous. She is extremely tolerant. How are they doing with potty training? She is completely house trained. How are they doing in their crate? She does not mind being in her kennel. She is a very good girl, and when we are gone she stays in a bedroom with one of our other dogs. She isn’t kenneled very often. Energy level? Low Any issues with guarding? No. She willingly moves away from her food when dogs or people approach. Leash reactivity? No. She does get nervous on walks, but is much better than she used to be. Fearful? Yes. New situations and fast movements or noises send her scurrying into another room. Aggression? None Separation anxiety? No Anything else you’d like to add? Honey has likely not been treated kindly in the past. She has heightened nervousness most of the time. New situations are hard for her. When she is nervous she removes herself from the situation and goes to another room. Her nervousness never comes out as aggression. She needs an adopter who is patient and kind and willing to give her lots of time to continue to adjust and understand that she will never be hurt again. She is more nervous around men but has come to initiate contact with her foster dad and older foster brother. Honey would do very well in a home with a very stable dog that could be her emotional support. She would do fine in a home with kids, but I think younger kids would be hard for her bc of their loudness and quick movements. I think Honey might always be a more nervous dog, but she has come a long ways and will likely continue to improve. Despite her anxiety, she is extremely tolerant and gentle. She loves to be loved on and will make an excellent companion for a very patient family.

ThisIsHouston is a rescue dedicated to helping those who cannot ask for help!
The inundation of graphic dog posts and images on social media seems to have rendered a lot of people helpless. The bystander effect has grabbed a hold of our city and it isn’t loosening its grip. Most people are not aware of the stray overpopulation problem going on in this city. The others don’t help because somebody else will. Well, we are ‘somebody else’. We have no super powers. We have no magic formula or secret that gives us the ability to do what we do. We are just an example of what can be done when people come together for a common cause and leave egos at the door. Why do we do this? Because we choose to. Because we are tired of dogs suffering needlessly. And because we refuse to live in a world where there is a choice not to help.
