Meet Baily. She hasn't been at the Yarmouth SPCA all that long, but already it is clear that she is becoming very depressed in the shelter environment. Bailey is utterly unhappy to be in a kennel and is visibly losing weight to the point where she is starting to look like a poster girl for a malnutrition seizure.
The Yarmouth SPCA and P.E.T. PROJECTS have been both working together to try to get this very sweet dog out of the shelter environment and into either a dog experienced foster or Forever Home. They are hoping for a cat free home as they haven't had much success introducing Baily to cats ... nor do they feel that Baily... with her current stress level is an appropriate companion for a small child at this time.
Bailey is intelligent, well behaved and as affectionate and loving as you would expect an Amstaf to be. She is just one of those great dogs who is simply too sensitive for the shelter environment.
I can tell you that my own sweet O'Henry .... who came from CAPS .... could not be caged and would have wilted in a shelter. Living in a cage is not a natural way for any living breathing intelligent sensitive being.
If you are a good gentle alpha and can offer the lifesaving sanctuary this wonderful dog needs, please contact sea.scape@ns.sympatico.ca or call and leave a message at 637-1560.
