Bailey was an abandoned Chihuahua and no one knew how long she had been living in the streets. Numerous bystanders reported Bailey’s situation to the local shelter. Kerry, a volunteer at the Dallas DogRRR shelter, immediately went on his way to rescue the poor pup.
Meeting Bailey
Kerry arrived at the scene a few moments after he received the call. He had a hard time looking for Bailey since she only weighed about 12 pounds and was really small.
When Kerry caught a glimpse of the pup, he knew he had to do everything to rescue her. Bailey was emaciated and she surely would not survive living her life on the streets.
Kerry spent about half an hour talking to Bailey in a calm manner to get her to trust him. Unfortunately, it was evident that Bailey was frightened by the way she shivered and barked at Kerry.
After a few minutes passed, Kerry noticed a cup on the ground. He saw it as protection for when Bailey would try to bite him.
Kerry then carefully placed the cup over Bailey’s snout and in one swift movement, lifted her up. Bailey was frantic for a few moments but was soon calm and felt safe in Kerry’s arms. Kerry felt that Bailey trusted him so he decided to take her home.
Journey to forever home
Kerry fed Bailey and gave her a warm bath. He spent the afternoon making Bailey feel safe and comfortable. At the end of the day, Bailey was running around the house playing and even allowed Kerry to rub her belly.
Kerry was confident that Bailey would easily find her forever home. Though the thought of letting Bailey go made him sad but he knew that Bailey deserved a good life.
After a few weeks, a kind woman named Patty applied to adopt Bailey. Patty and Bailey instantly formed a bond when they met so Kerry was more than happy to let her adopt Bailey. After everything that Bailey had been through, Kerry was glad that she finally had the life she deserved.
