Bailey

We adopted Bailey, our Liver spotted Dalmatian, from the SPCA when he was 18 months old. He had already had 4 homes before ending up at the SPCA. We were sure that we owned one of his littermates, Shasta, and were looking for a friend for her. We had seen him advertised in the paper 3 times, each time we phoned about him he had been sold on to his next home. We finally caught up with him in his 4th home. We brought Shasta along and they got on like a house on fire! Unfortunately we decided at this time that we weren't ready for a fully grown male Dal. 2 weeks later we saw him on the local news being walked by an SPCA worker...I phoned that night about him and we had adopted him by the next day, no way could we leave him there any longer! His first hour in his forever home was spent playing and getting reaquainted with his sister. They became lifelong friends.

Bailey has turned out to be a wonderful dog at home. He always wants to be close, making up for not getting enough love in his first 4 homes we say. He has also turned out to be a great agility and flyball dog, earning championships in each sport. He is retired from competition now but still has plenty of enthusiasm for his ball.

Bailey has been with us for 13 great years. He is 14 years old now and sadly has outlived his littermate and best friend Shasta. We believe that it was fate that led us to our Brown Boy, he just kept turning up and finally we got the message! We wouldn't change a thing.
