Bailey-Sue is a 4-year-old, 57lb spayed female pittie mix who is playful, affectionate, and brave. She came to us after surviving physical abuse and, while it took time for her to trust again, her resilience and gentle spirit now shine through. She needs a patient, loving home willing to let her open up at her own pace. Once she does, she's pure love! Bailey enjoys playing with other dogs, but she takes her time making new friends. She's done best with dogs around 30-80 lbs and may do particularly well with a calm male dog who can match her energy. Slow introductions are key to her success. She absolutely adores kids and currently lives with children ranging from 3 to 17 years old, being gentle and patient with them. Bailey is fully house-trained and crate-trained, sleeping soundly through the night. She has no history of food or toy guarding. Bailey walks nicely on a leash once she's had a chance to burn off some energy. Her energy level is medium to medium-low, enjoying playtime but also happy to relax in a slower-paced home. She doesn't require another dog but would enjoy the companionship of the right canine friend. Bailey is affectionate, smart, playful, and sometimes silly, loving chew toys, car rides, and spending time with her people. She can be cautious when meeting new people or dogs due to her past experiences, but with love, patience, and structure, she blossoms into a loyal and trusting companion.
