All the dogs who come into BTRC’s care receive a thorough check-up, and teeth are always a priority. Most require dental surgery, so we expected that Honey would need some extractions. Unfortunately, the clinic discovered that nearly all her teeth were broken, diseased, or had painful holes and lesions, and needed to be removed. It breaks our hearts to think how uncomfortable Honey had been for so long. The vet was able to safely remove three quadrants of teeth, and the final quadrant will be done in a couple of months once Honey is fully healed.
Even with a swollen face and a tender mouth, Honey’s been eating, walking and proving that she’s a brave and resilient girl. Between soft food meals and lots of snuggles, she’s showing glimmers of her spunky personality again.
And we must take a moment to celebrate her dedicated foster mom. This is her very first time fostering, and she handled a truly emotional situation with so much love and strength. She was worried and sad for Honey, but she talked her through every moment, reassuring them both that they’d get through this together. ❤️
Though Honey still has some healing ahead – and another surgery to come – we’re grateful that, for the first time in a long while, she isn’t living with constant pain. Now she can focus on more important things – like being the nosey neighbour in the window, constantly spying on who’s doing what.
Honey is being fostered in Toronto, ON and is not yet ready for adoption.
Meet Honey!
This adorable girl found herself in a shelter after the addition of a new baby in the family proved to be too stressful for her. Shelter life was also very hard on her as she was frightened and refused to eat. So, BTRC stepped in, and now Honey is in a foster home, where she quickly decided her new digs were awesome.
At only 15 pounds, Honey is pint-sized, but don’t let her tiny frame fool you because she is full of beans! She also takes her role as neighbourhood watch captain very seriously and is quite skilled at keeping an eye out for anything suspicious (or interesting!) outside.
Honey also just celebrated her seventh birthday, so let’s hear some birthday wishes for this sweet gal!
