Honey Brown is a black and tan smooth standard who is between 6 and 8 years old.  She is insulin dependent and blind. Her vision loss is the result of a recent complication from the diabetes.

She has been in foster care for at least 4 months with Jen, a vet tech.  She was caring for the dog after Honey Brown had been picked up as a stray, scheduled to be euthanized by a central Florida shelter, rescued, discovered to have diabetes by a vet who recommended putting her to sleep and transported to south Florida where she boarded at a vet's office while her diabetes was brought under control. Jen gives Honey Brown her daily insulin injections and has accommodated her special needs since she lost her sight while being in foster care.  None of the Dachshund applicants nor the contacts that have been  made with the diabetic community have had any interest in this sweet dog. Jen is happy to have her as a long term foster but Honey Brown's care is costly.

Honey Brown is fortunate to still have a good quality of life but her chances for adoption are slim. She is one of the Dachshunds that will likely remain in the care of CCDR for her remaining years.
 

Notes from Honey Brown's Foster Home
8-9-01 - Honey Brown has been touched by the fact that people care about her. As you can see she rolled over when as if to say 'ah me?' somebody loves ME?
Of course they do Honey Brown! 

Honey Brown has no clue she is needy. Despite being blind she loves to play with our dachshund Petey.  They will chase and dance around each other for 10 minutes before Petey gets tired and walks away.  Honey Brown doesn't realize this, and continues the game without him :-) 

She also knows exactly where her food bowl is and runs to it at breakneck speed at meal time.  When she hears the fridge open she will try to climb in, sniffing, sniffing everything.  She is also a blanket hog, and on more than one occasion has reached up to get the blanket covering us in her teeth and then backs away dragging it down to the floor for her use.  She is 25 lbs and has been in CCDR since March 2001.
