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. 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 is proof that with kindness and time, trust can be rebuilt, and love always wins.
Ideal Home
Bailey adores children and currently lives with kids ranging from 3 to 17 years old. She would love a home where she can continue to be surrounded by her family. She enjoys playing with other dogs and would do well with a calm male dog who can match her energy and help her feel confident. Slow introductions are key to her success with new canine friends.
Ongoing Health
Bailey is a healthy girl who has been spayed and is up to date on all vaccinations.
Training & Support
Bailey is fully house-trained and crate-trained. She sleeps quietly through the night and is used to eating and enjoying treats in her crate or alone. She has never shown any food or toy guarding. Bailey does best with leash walking after she's had a chance to burn off some energy first. Continued leash work will help her be her best self. Because of her past, Bailey may take time to feel safe and confident around new people or dogs. Her reactions are rooted in fear, not aggression. With love, patience, and structure, Bailey will blossom into the loyal, trusting companion she was always meant to be.
