Bailey is a young handsome saluki. He was lucky enough to find a place with one of our marvelous fosterers and we are told he is a very good house guest.
In the home Bailey settles in very quickly. He is very relaxed and has a great temperament, a waggy tail and loves to play little training games for treats, especially sniffing games, and fetch with his toys. He loves being told he is a good boy.
Bailey is house trained and will consistently ask to go outside and uses a designated spot to poo. He rarely has accidents in the house and is not at all destructive.
Bailey loves people and loves lots of fuss, being stroked on the underside of his throat, and belly rubs, and stroked behind his ear. He likes to lounge on the sofa between people and do various yoga poses with his long legs while sleeping, being petted or lazing. He likes to play with his toys inside and loves small regular bouts of (10 mins) fetch games in the garden with his balls. After 10 mins he will return to sniffing or bird watching. He loves human visitors, and does not bark when the door knocks.
Bailey is tolerant of other dogs both large and small visiting the home however he can get tired of other dogs quickly, and will then prefer to cuddle a human.
Bailey is a proper snuggle pup. He loves people fussing over him and loves trips in the car.
Bailey can be left for 4 hours or so and although he doesn’t like his owner leaving, he soon settles with a treat filled kong to lick!
Outside the house, he now walks well on the lead and if he does pull, if his handler stands still, Bailey will circle back. He can get very excited and can be reactive, pulling on his lead, when he sees other dogs on his walks, and will need a new owner’s help to manage his excitement levels and responses. At present, with gentle encouragement and a treat, Bailey’s excitement levels can be managed and he will walk on by calmly. We can advise any interested applicant further about this.
Bailey seems a little anxious around younger children. For that reason we would rehome him only where any resident or frequently visiting children are over the age of 10 years.
To adopt Bailey, please complete an Adoption Application form and we will be in touch.
Please note that Homeless Hounds welcomes applications from Lancashire but unfortunately we are unable to consider applications from further afield. Homeless Hounds cannot rehome dogs to families with children under 5 years old.
Thank you
