Introducing Honeybear, a 1.5-year-old female Golden Retriever mix who looks like someone poured warm caramel over a teddy bear and then gave it feelings. Are you a caramel lover? Have you ever looked at a jar of it and thought, “I wish I could hug that”? Please discuss that with a qualified professional at your earliest convenience. Fortunately, Honeybear is here to make the whole situation less embarrassing. She’s gorgeous, caramel colored, loves a good cuddle, and is considerably less sticky than hugging the jar.

Honeybear is being fostered in Owasso, OK. Her adopter must personally pick her up there. We do not transport.
Honeybear is the kind of sweet that makes you lower your voice, clear a spot beside you, and wonder whether it would be excessive to buy a dog her own throw blanket. She’s a sensitive girl who can be nervous when something is new. She likes a little time to look around and make sure the situation is safe before committing her entire heart to it. Gentle guidance helps her settle, and she listens when told “no.” Most of the time, she is calm, easygoing, and happiest tucked up beside her humans. The teddy bear comparison is cute until you realize the teddy bear is looking at you like you’re her whole world, and now you’re rearranging your day so she doesn’t have to move. Honeybear absolutely adores people and kids. Her foster’s children, ages 10 to 18, did not have to submit applications for cuddle privileges. She went straight to snuggling them, apparently satisfied that they met her most important qualification: being available. New adults might get a more cautious first hello, but once she understands they’re kind, her friendly side comes out. She isn’t trying to play hard to get. She just has a soft little heart and prefers to know who she’s giving it to. Cats are an unknown. Honeybear has not yet met one of those tiny creatures with knives attached to their feet and the confidence of a landlord conducting an inspection. We cannot tell you what she’d think of a cat.
Honeybear’s energy level is a pleasant 5/10. She likes to play with toys and enjoys a good romp once she’s comfortable, but she’s a homebody at heart. Her foster thinks she’d be up for adventures after she settles into a new home; for now, Honeybear’s idea of a wonderful outing is a walk followed by returning to the people and furniture she loves. She walks quietly on a leash without pulling, which means you can enjoy the scenery without being abruptly introduced to a shrub. Fetch is not currently among her hobbies. Honeybear likes toys, but if you throw one across the yard, she may reasonably wonder why you did that and whether you plan to go get it. She also hasn’t tried getting into the pool, though she didn’t seem bothered by her bath. She is willing to get clean without convening an emergency meeting about it, which is more than can be said for quite a few dogs. Car rides involve a little help at the beginning. Honeybear is nervous about getting in, so her foster picks her up. Once she’s inside, she lies down quietly, makes no fuss, and hasn’t gotten carsick. She simply prefers assisted boarding, after which she is an excellent passenger. Frankly, if someone offered to lift us into the car and handle the driving, we might start requesting the same service.
Inside the house, Honeybear is remarkably well mannered. She is potty trained, doesn’t chew things she shouldn’t, and hasn’t shown any other mischievous behavior. Her foster has not heard her bark once. She hasn’t shown any escape artist tendencies, food guarding, or resource guarding. Her foster also hasn’t noticed any particular fears of things like household noises or storms. New situations can make her uncertain, but everyday life does not appear to require a dramatic Honeybear press conference. Honeybear is allowed on the couch, an arrangement she likely considers one of humanity’s better decisions. At night, she sleeps in her dog bed on the floor right beside her people. She can be left alone when needed and has done well free-roaming indoors. She was kenneled once, didn’t like it, and her foster did not try it again. A fenced yard is not a requirement for Honeybear. She does well on leash and would be fine with regular walks. What matters more is a family who understands that she may need a little time to feel comfortable, especially with unfamiliar people or dogs. Give her that patience, include her in your everyday life, and leave room beside you for a girl who loves nothing more than feeling safe with her humans. Honeybear isn’t asking for an elaborate adventure schedule, a collection of advanced toys, or a personal chauffeur with a tiny hat. She wants a home where she can go for a walk, play when the mood strikes, curl up near the people she loves, and trust that she belongs there. In return, you get a gentle, affectionate companion whose sweetness is every bit as real as it looks.
If you’ve ever wished you could hug a jar of caramel, Honeybear can spare you the mess and considerable embarrassment. She’ll even hug you back. Give this lovely girl a little time to settle, and you may find that the best part of coming home is seeing her waiting to curl up beside you. To adopt Honeybear, please fill out an adoption application so we can send it to her foster family. The whole application, please. A comment saying “I’ll take her” is lovely enthusiasm, but it gives her foster about as much useful information as a fortune cookie written by a raccoon. If you’re selected, you’ll need to pick Honeybear up in person in Owasso, Oklahoma. She is a very good passenger once helped into the car, but she has yet to master ordering herself an Uber.
