Italian Greyhound - Small - Adult - Female - Dog - Bayleigh
Description
Bayleigh is a lovely girl, about 6 years old and a true tribute to the resilient spirit of Italian greyhounds. Bayleigh spent her early life in a puppy millhaving lots of litters and not receiving good vet care. Many dogs from such situations are terribly shy and take a long time to rehabilitatenot Bayleigh! She adjusted very quickly to the good life in her foster home, has good potty habits, and is able to go on adventures into the big world on a leash. She is a little timid at first, but she really enjoys meeting gentle folks and she gets on well with other dogs. You can see a clip of Bayleigh at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMu9Sj0yOQU Bayleighs teeth were sadly neglected. When she came to us from a kind shelter that realized they couldnt do what was needed, her mouth was a mass of abscesses and she had few teeth remaining. Her lower jaw had eroded and was crumblingand is no longer fully attached. But, once again, this worried us and the vet far more than it worried Bayleigh. Her mouth is now healed, she has two teeth left, but she manages to eat well and doesnt worry about such things when there is sun to lay in, walks to take, and people and dogs to love. Bayleigh spent most of her life alone in a cage, so we hope she can now find a home with another dog and with humans who are home quite a bit. Bayleigh really loves company although she is not needy or demanding. Bayleigh would do best in a quiet home and will not be placed in a home with young or boisterous children. Note: Bayleigh is in a foster home in Olympia, WA and is available for adoption to a home in Alaska. Please e-mail Lisa at iggyblue@yahoo.com for an application.
