BAILEY - POODLE (MINIATURE) / COCKER SPANIEL / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Poodle (Miniature) / Cocker Spaniel / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 325.00. Bailey is a young dog with lots of energy. She needs an owner who can keep up with her and take her out for walks. She is what we consider a "velcro" dog. This means she is stuck to you, so she will need an owner that works from home or one that is not gone much. Bailey has been bounced around quite a bit in her short life. First, she lived in a home with small kids which caused Bailey to be stressed and full of anxiety. Next, she lived with a retired lady who was unable to safely take Bailey for walks without being pulled over and almost tripping over her because she does not like to be away from her person so she is constantly underfoot. And then she lived with a family but did not do well living with other dogs. Bailey loves to play with toys, especially stuffed animals. She plays well with other dogs, but when she lived with them she did not do well because she has an Alpha personality and she just wants to be the focus of her owner. Bailey needs to be in a home where she is the ONLY animal and an adult only household with limited traffic. She would probably do best with just one owner. Bailey does take a little time to warm up to people and does best if she is allowed to meet them on her terms.... without being grabbed at. Bailey is crate trained and sees the crate as a safe place to get away and relax. She has obedience training and does very well if her handler uses stern and clear commands. Members of the PRBJ staff take her out and she will heel while walking and right away sits when you stop. She is very smart and just needs someone to spend time working on training. It is recommended that she has a fenced yard so she will have a safe, secure place to run and play and help burn off her puppy energy. Bailey will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks and in between the grooming she will need to be brushed and her ears cleaned.
