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. It took months for her to trust again, but 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!
Ideal Home
Bailey adores children and currently lives with kids ranging from 3 to 17 years old. She is gentle, patient, and happiest when surrounded by her family. She loves to play with other dogs but has socially awkward or selective play. She's friendly, tail-wagging, and enthusiastic, but she likes to take things slow when meeting new friends. She has done best with 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. Because of her past, Bailey needs a home that understands she may take time to feel safe and confident. She may bark or seem unsure around new people or dogs. Her reactions are rooted in fear, not aggression.
Ongoing Health
Bailey is a healthy girl with no known ongoing health issues.
Training & Support
Bailey is fully house-trained and crate-trained, sleeping quietly through the night. She's used to eating and enjoying treats in her crate or outside alone. She has never shown any food or toy guarding toward people. When it comes to leash walking, Bailey does best when she's had a little time to burn off energy first. Once settled, she walks nicely without pulling, but if she heads out full of excitement, she might need a few reminders. Continued leash work will help her be her best self. With love, patience, and structure, Bailey blossoms into the loyal, trusting companion she was always meant to be.
