Bailey – 7 year old male Greyhound

Poor Bailey has lost his home and his pack through no fault of his own. He is 7 years old and is used to living with other dogs, he is currently in foster care in Cornwall. He is clean and dry in the house and would love to find a new, loving home with a family who will appreciate him for the gentle lad he is. Bailey is currently in a foster home awaiting his forever family. He will not be re-homed with cats.

An update from Bailey’s foster family:

Bailey is now allowed off lead and behaves himself perfectly! We would now describe him as a “just add water” dog, as he is so companionable and affectionate.  Despite finding himself in a foster home with six other dogs, he has conducted himself so well that there hasn’t been even the tiniest scrap of opposition during the time he’s been with us.

He is not a placid wet blanket, but a confident, fully-rounded dog with the happiest disposition you could ask for.  He does have a few scars from previous injuries, but these might well fur over in time.  Already the bald patches on his bottom, probably from the time one of his rear legs was broken, are now sprouting healthy new coat.

Yes, Bailey is seven, but he is extremely fit, and in all probability he may well have more than half his lifespan still ahead of him.  Bailey’s foster parents believe he would settle perfectly well as an only dog – he does love his cuddles! – but since there has been no friction in our very mixed household, we believe he would also be delighted to share a home with other dogs of either sex, and not just Greyhounds.  He’s currently sharing with a Springer Spaniel, Border Collie and a Dobermann cross Springer Spaniel, and you don’t get more mixed than that!

Please give him a chance – he is so deserving of a forever home – and the rewards will be wonderful.
