Story
Bailey was my childhood dog, He was a birthday present. He has always been a great dog, but my family was not good to him. To get straight to the point, we were raised in a trap house. I got myself and my siblings out of the house in the year 2020 - 2021 and bailey came my boyfriend and I's home in 2025. He is 13-15 years old, he Is a big whiny baby. sometimes he sits in front of me and gives me his paw and he's just happy that i'm sitting with him holding his paw. He loves bones, and treats like any other dog. He loves to eat, even food that isn't his. He loves to dig and roll in the dirt especially right after baths. He doesn't like to play in water and when he's wet he rubs his face into the ground because he doesn't like to be wet. I want him to have someone who can give him undivided attention and love for the rest of his days. He deserves it after everything he's been through. I love him dearly, but I know someone else can take care of him better than I can.

Story
Chase is an amazing boy. He loves kids and his people. He has lots of puppy in him. He needs a job. He currently loves to chase the train, (we have fenced in property. )He has some aggression when protecting his home if he doesn't know you. You don't come on the property. I live next door to a school so this behavior is not ideal for him He needs proper training that I am unable to do due to my own health issues. He does recall and he knows to sit. He knows easy when getting a treat. He loves to go for truck rides. A country setting would be ideal for him.
