Bailey-Sue is a 4-year-old, 57lb spayed female, pittie mix who is playful, affectionate, and brave. This sweet girl came to us after surviving abuse, and though it took months for her to trust again, her resilience and gentle spirit now shine through. She just needs a patient, loving home willing to let her open up at her own pace – once she does, she's pure love! Bailey adores children and currently lives with kids ranging from 3 to 17 years old, showing gentleness and patience with them. She is fully house-trained and crate-trained, sleeping through the night and demonstrating excellent manners around food and toys, never showing guarding behavior. Bailey is affectionate, smart, playful, and sometimes a little silly, enjoying chew toys, car rides, and spending time with her people. She can be cautious around new people and dogs due to her past, but with love, patience, and structure, she blossoms into a loyal and trusting companion.
Ideal Home
Bailey needs a home that understands she may take time to feel safe and confident. She has shown that she does best with other dogs around 30-80 lbs and may do particularly well with a calm male dog who can match her energy and help her feel confident. Slow introductions are key to her success with other pets.
Ongoing Health

Training & Support
