Bailey-Sue is a 4-year-old, 57lb spayed female pittie mix who is playful, affectionate, and brave. She came to us from the Houston shelter after surviving physical abuse. While it took months for her to trust again, her resilience and gentle spirit now shine through. She's proof that with kindness and time, trust can be rebuilt. Bailey adores kids and currently lives with children ranging from 3 to 17 years old. She is affectionate, smart, playful, and sometimes a little silly. She loves chew toys, car rides, and spending time with her people.
Ideal Home
Bailey needs a patient, loving home willing to let her open up at her own pace. She can be cautious around new people or dogs due to her past experiences, but her reactions are rooted in fear, not aggression. With love, patience, and structure, Bailey blossoms into a loyal, trusting companion. She loves to play with other dogs and has done best with dogs around 30-80 lbs. A calm male dog who can match her energy and help her feel confident would be a great fit. Slow introductions are key to her success.
Ongoing Health
No specific ongoing health concerns were mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Bailey is fully house-trained and crate-trained, sleeping quietly through the night. She walks nicely on a leash once she has had a chance to burn off some energy. Continued leash work will help her be her best self. She is used to eating and enjoying treats in her crate or alone to keep things peaceful. She has never shown any food or toy guarding.
