About Bailey

Bailey Needs a Foster or Adopter to Secure His Ride to Wisconsin on 5/29 Bailey is currently in a high-intake shelter in Georgia and is looking for a committed foster or adopter to secure his spot on transport to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. A committed home is needed for Bailey to make the trip north and begin a new life outside the shelter. Meet Bailey Bailey was found as a stray in rural Georgia alongside his two siblings after spending time surviving on their own. The trio was extremely fearful and had to be safely caught using a live trap before they could be brought to safety. Since arriving at the shelter, Bailey has been slowly adjusting to shelter life and making progress each day. While he was initially very scared and unsure of people, he has started learning that human interaction can be positive and safe. Bailey is continuing to come out of his shell and has shown himself to be a sweet dog who simply needs time, patience, and understanding. As with many dogs coming from uncertain backgrounds, Bailey will likely need continued help with the basics of home life, including potty training, crate training, and leash manners. Because his history is unknown, Bailey may still be learning many firsts, but with a supportive family, he has so much potential to thrive. Bailey is dog friendly and would likely do well in a home that can provide routine, structure, and encouragement as he builds confidence. He has not yet been tested with cats or children. Bailey may need some extra TLC as he settles in, but he is a nice young dog who deserves the opportunity to finally feel safe and loved.
