Bailey-Sue is a 4-year-old, 57lb spayed female pittie mix who is playful, affectionate, and brave. She came to us from a Houston shelter after surviving physical abuse. It took months for her to trust again, but her resilience and gentle spirit now shine through. She needs a patient, loving home that will let her open up at her own pace. Once she feels safe, she is pure love.
Ideal Home
Bailey-Sue adores children and currently lives with kids aged 3 to 17. She is gentle, patient, and happiest when surrounded by her family. She enjoys playing with other dogs but is socially selective. She has done best with dogs around 30-80 lbs and may do well with a calm male dog who can match her energy. Slow introductions are key to her success. Bailey-Sue needs a home that understands she may take time to feel safe and confident and that her reactions are rooted in fear, not aggression.
Ongoing Health
Bailey-Sue is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. She has no known health issues.
Training & Support
Bailey-Sue is fully house-trained and crate-trained. She sleeps quietly through the night and is accustomed to eating 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-Sue 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. She can be cautious and may bark or seem unsure around new people or dogs, but this is rooted in fear and not aggression. With love, patience, and structure, she blossoms into a loyal, trusting companion.
