My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.HONEY BUNCH hails from the Northern community of Sandy Lake and came south with her two sisters, Sweetie Pie and Lovey Dovey (they’re known as the Valentine Trio) and she’s now looking to find her forever home. She’s received her three sets of vaccines, a microchip, dewormer and has been deemed a healthy girl by her vet. We really don’t know the size she’ll grow to be as we have no information on either parent. The same can be said about the breeds we’ve stated as we just go by what she looks like. There is a picture of her with her 2 siblings and one looks just like her and the other is a Husky. She’s a very affectionate girl and is also a real cuddler and loves to be cuddled and held. As you can see from her pictures, her ears have a mind of their own right now and can’t decide if they’re going up, down or sideways. If we had to guess though we feel they’re probably going to be “uppie” ears. She’s very curious about the world around her and loves to investigate anything new she finds. She can be rambunctious at times with her sisters and play tough but she’s easily corrected and will then start to play gentler with them. She’s currently teething so she has lots of chew toys including Nyla bones to keep her little teeth busy.  HONEY BUNCH is crate trained and sleeps quietly in it at night and will also nap in it during the day too. House training is going well and she’ll cry to go outside for a bathroom break. She will have the odd accident though if she’s busy playing and forgets to let you know she had to go. So constant trips for now are best for her until she knows to ask everytime she needs to go outside. She’s only just started to go for short walks and like all puppies she’ll excitedly race ahead of you. She has good manners and will “sit” for her meals and also take her treats “gentle.” An ideal family for HONEY BUNCH should be an active one that loves the outdoors as we know once she’s a bigger girl she’ll love to be outside and want to be adventurous and go on hikes and long walks on the trails. She does well in a vehicle so will always be up for a drive and especially if it leads to an adventure for her.  A family with some Husky experience would be good for her as it looks like she has that breed in her based on the looks of her sister Lovey Dovey. There’s no other dog (than her sisters) in her foster home but she has met several neighbourhood dogs and has been very social with them. If there’s a dog in her new home we do recommend a slow, monitored introduction be made between them and the dog kept leashed for the first initial introductions. She should do well with a cat as she is fostered with two of them and also 2 pet rabbits. She will lay with cats around the fireplace and all take a nap together so she would definitely suit a home with a cat. She can be an only pet in the home as long as she’s not left alone for long periods of time. Children should be aged 6yrs and up plus be loving, gentle and kind towards animals. She does require a fenced-in yard so she can be kept safe while she has a run around and play. HONEY BUNCH, like all puppies, is cute, playful and fun but also require a lot of time, patience and dedication to training. We do need her adopter to be in agreement to take her for puppy/obedience training to help her to become the best girl possible. Her spay is included in her adoption fee and her potential adopter must be in agreement to have her spayed by the time she’s 6 months of age. The surgery will be at the Barrie SPCA but you can use your own vet and we’ll reimburse you what we would’ve paid for it there. In order for the rescue to do so we need the spay requirements to still be followed plus a copy of the procedure invoice and a picture of her (preferably in her onsie or cone) in order to do the reimbursement. We do post the picture on our fb page along with other pets that were “fixed” in the same week.  If HONEY BUNCH sounds like she’ll suit your family and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet her. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 19, 2026, 12:33 pm
