Bailey is a beautiful German Shepherd who is 18 months old. She has led a very sheltered life, without the robust exposure you would wish for as a young pup. Her character therefore was shaped into a devoted dog, nervous of human approach and dogs.
We took her on as an emergency as her owner had lost her accommodation and her parents wouldn’t hold her as their daughter supposed. Although she is kennelled, Janet, who works in the kennels, has taken a shine to her and takes her home with her in the evenings and she is mixing with her teeny little Chihuahua. Bailey has come on leaps and bounds with other dogs. When she first arrived her automatic response to another dog was to snarl at them and hide in a corner. Now she is the first to instigate play and mixes with all sizes and shapes of dog up to big old Rottwielers. She still has a very special bond with her ‘carer’ Janet, but is coming round to other people
Obviously Bailey needs a Shepherd home where they have the sense to take her slowly, build up skills and confidence over months, not days. We have just spayed, vaccinated and microchipped her. Her confidence is growing but we still have a long way to go. She needs help to both accept strangers and expose her to the world. Although these are not good pictures you get a sense of her sense of vulnerability and yet also a sense she is on her way … maturing her skills & becoming the magnificent dog she is destined to be.
