Many of my followers have asked me to keep everyone updated on what home I choose for the puppy with the shortened back leg. This was such a tough decision as I had so many wonderful families that expressed interest. I had planned on making a decision earlier than I did but it was indeed so difficult. There were probably more than 10 families that would have provided such a loving environment for this pup.
Ultimately, I went with Angelica and her three children. They live in Wisconsin. Years ago, Angelica purchased Bailey from me when she was just a young puppy. What caused my heart to be drawn towards making this family my choice was that Angelica's husband, and the father of these three children (13, 11 and 6) had died. She is a single mother and these children not only dont live with their father, they don't have a father. In addition, this is how Angelica described one of her sons:
"He is wonderful with Bailey. He’s special in the sense that he struggles emotionally and socially, he learns different, he’s very literal, smart, and does not have many friends. He is very responsible and caring but feels like a black sheep. Bailey has helped him emotionally and is becoming more open and has become more social. He actually laughs more and connects more now than before with us here at home and his teachers have commented that they see him working to making friends. I truly believe Bailey has made this happen."
This weekend Angelica plans on making the 3.5 hour trip down to pick up the puppy..I am so excited for she and her family as well as the puppy. This puppy is always happy and honestly doesnt know she is disabled...she acts and functions just like the other pups.
Here are pics of Angelica, her children and Bailey.
