Bailey was adopted by us. She is a sweet dog, great with children, undemanding and easy to maintain (she doesn't require grooming). She is an outdoor (yard) dog. She is trained to pee and poop only outside once a day on a walk. She isn't destructive. She's a great house "alarm" - very alert when strangers pass by, but has never bitten anyone (barks but doesn't advance to attack).
Before her adoption in 2014, she was an abused pup (abused by people and other dogs). She hides and is very timid when new people approach her.
Therefore, it takes a few weeks for her to "come out of her shell" with new company, in a new environment. Once she becomes comfortable and trusts her new family, she is very friendly, playful and loving.
Sadly, we need to put her up for adoption because we have moved into a condo which doesn't allow pets. Bailey has been a huge blessing to us as a family. She is great around young children (my youngest is 4 now, in total we have 4 kids under 11), she has never jumped on them or nipped them. They can touch her, pull her, grab her , hug her and stroke her without resistance. She has a very calm disposition.
If your heart is big enough to accept and adopt an abused dog who just needs some extra patience and love in the beginning, you will be greatly rewarded by her doggy love and friendship!
Currently, she is fed once a day, a bowl of kibble. When she lived with us, she was on a 100% RAW diet with no problems.
As we have moved, we have brought Bailey to live with her original Fosterer. Please contact Elaine atif you want to give our sweet dog a forever family.
