From the Foster:
Bailey is a true sweetheart. She is loving and affectionate, smart, and knows when it's time to go outside to run and when it's time to relax inside. She likes to play with her foster brother (1 year old Chinese Shar Pei, SHH alumni) and sometimes she likes to relax and just lay by your feet. She knows the following commands: sit, lay down, leave it, speak, and shake. If you ask her to sit she will offer you her paw to shake. She would learn other tricks pretty fast and easily. She is smart and would love someone who would continue to teach her new tricks. She loves her people. The two days recently that I had trouble with my asthma she would not leave my side. She is house trained and is slowly adjusting to being in a kennel. She would prefer someone who would allow her not to be in a kennel much as she really does not need it. She knows what is hers and what not to get into. She is not demanding but loves when she is given attention, walks, or when people stimulate her mind by working on tricks with her. She has met neighborhood kids and they all think that she is a great dog. She does love frequent walks or being able to run and play fetch outside.
Her previous foster stated that she did fine great with their dog and cat. They also agreed that she is a sweetheart.
Cat, kid, adult friendly. Housetrained, Crate trained but not necessary

If you would like to meet/adopt this animal or anyone else, then please fill out an adoption application at http://secondhandhounds.org/adoption-information/ and the foster(s) will be in touch! Keep in mind that there may be multiple applicants applying for the same animal(s). You only need to complete 1 application for multiple animals that you're interested in.
Note - We change an animal's listing to say "PENDING ADOPTION" when they already had a meet and greet with a family who plans to adoptthat animal. We put "NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS" on a listing when an animal has multiple applications in and the foster has asked to stop accepting any more while they review the applications they've already received.
