Name: Bailey
From the Foster: Bailey is a sweet young girl who is looking for a forever home that will challenge her, and understand her. She greets you with wiggles, not just her butt but her whole body!
She is currently spending her days with her foster fur siblings out of a crate, and doing ok, with a few days of minor mishaps. Bailey does not like to be crated, so it would be best for her to be in a home where she would not be alone for long periods of time, or have let outs midday. She needs to have regular exercise, and have found that walking her before I leave for work in the AM makes for a better Bailey!
She had a few accidents when she first arrived at my house but she settled in the second day.
Bailey loves toys and bones and runs in and out of the house with them in her mouth. She would love a fenced in yard. She likes to go for walks and is getting more confident on a leash, but she does bark when she sees other dogs, even if they are in their own yard! She would also like to chase every squirrel so a good harness is a must!
New people are fun for Bailey. She seems to have no issues with kids. I would always recommend a proper intro if she's on a leash, as she can be extremely excited, but she warms up very quickly.
Dogs have not been an issue for Bailey, but cats are unknown. She will meet a dog, and within a few minutes she is showering them with kisses. She likes to play chase and mouth wrestle. Even if she initially barks, dogs don't really seem to intimidate her.
Bailey is the kind of dog that needs challenge and stimulation. I can tell when she's bored, she will act out a bit by mouthing and jumping. Walks, games, playtime with other dogs, will all challenge her mind and her body enough to where she will be a calmer girl. She will definitely need some training too, and she will very likely be the star of the class!
