Hi! My name is Bailey and I am 6 years old. Last fall, my human had to go to a nursing home and I couldn’t go with her. I am still trying to understand why th e person I have loved since I was a puppy is not around anymore and Sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed and upset. My foster family is helping me learn to relax and trust again and I also have medicine to help me. I’m doing really well!

My foster family has lots of other dogs and I am getting used to sharing attention. They can be a bit too much for me though- I mean, going from top dog to one of 5 is hard!

My foster mommy says I am a good boy! She says I walk like a champ, am perfectly house trained and I give her the best kisses. I like to play with squeaky toys and go for walks. I also love to just sit outside and watch the world go by. At night, I like to sleep with my foster mom because she rubs my tummy and scratches my ears till I fall asleep.

I love to talk to people, but sometimes I talk with my outside voice, so I am working on using my inside voice more. My foster mom helps me remember and I get lots of treats when I do!

As much as I love my foster family (and they love me), I really want to find a forever family of my very own. My new family needs to be patient with me and help me be the best me! I need lots of attention and exercise to help with my anxiety. While I like other dogs I meet, I would do best if it was just me or just me and a playmate - no kitties though! I like the little girls that live by my foster family, but I don’t know how I would do if they lived with me. They wear me out! 

I can’t wait to meet you and give you lots of kisses!
