Bailey is a 6-month-old bi-color German Shepherd with the sweetest soul and a gentle, eager-to-please nature. Found timid and unsure, Bailey initially sought comfort tucked behind tools in a garage of his Foster Family's home, unsure of the world around him. But with a little patience, a cozy bed, and some tasty treats, this shy boy began to bloom.

In just a few short days, Bailey warmed up to his foster family, revealing his playful and affectionate personality. He’s incredibly trainable, food-motivated, and quickly learned to trust the people who care for him. Once he feels safe, Bailey becomes a loyal shadow, always eager for affection, tail wags, and plenty of licks.

Bailey has been a perfect gentleman with the resident adult German Shepherd who has served as a mentor to him. The two play beautifully together chasing, wrestling, tug-of-warring, and patrolling the yard like a true dynamic duo. He’s wonderfully submissive, respectful, and has shown zero signs of aggression.

Bailey is already mastering his puppy basics:

✅ Crate trained and sleeps through the night (10 PM–7 AM)
✅ Walks great on a leash
✅ House trained — no accidents or marking
✅ Knows “sit” (waits before meals or going out doors)
✅ Understands “no” and “uh uh” for redirection
✅ Learning “down” and respectful of boundaries (with gentle reminders)

He has a typical puppy schedule: play hard, nap hard, repeat! While he occasionally tests limits like hopping on furniture or reaching a counter but he’s easily corrected and eager to learn.

Bailey is ready to leave his shy beginnings behind and start his next chapter with a forever family. Could that be you?
