Bailey (Great Dane) Needs A Home

[Ginger's Mom]

We found a place and are most likely going to be able to keep Bailey!! Thanks for all the help!

I am so happy to hear this. After reading Amy's post I needed good news. Yay!

I have good news and bad news...

First, the bad news. We finally found a place that allows pets, there are Boxers, Pitties, Labs etc. living here. We thought for sure we could take Bailey. After we paid our damage deposit and a months worth of rent, the landlord stated that we could only have SMALL pets. I read the strata bylaws and it says that in order to keep a dog over 15 inches, they must have their CKC CD Title. Unfortunately, Bailey didn't have one.

Bailey went to an awesome home. The lady that took him trains dogs for the movies. She trained quite a few dogs for movies. He lives very close to us and we are welcome to come and visit him whenever we want to. I cried all day yesterday, I had to watch the lady walk down our hall with him. I know he is much happier with her than he was at the vet clinic.

The good news is that we finally did find a rental. We are keeping all three cats.

Thanks for all your help and encouraging words, I truly am greatful for it.

That's great that Bailey found a home, it sounds like a good one.
Did you make any kind of agreement that you may one day take him back?
Or is this a forever situation? That's wonderful that you can visit him too.
Also great that you get to keep the kitties too.

I think that is crap that they make a dog have a "title" to live in a home.
I'm glad you found such a loving lady to take him, though. I can't imagine how difficult it was for you to say goodbye.

Like Cindy says, if in the future the opportunity arises, do you think you would be able to get him back?

[Alysser]

Its great you found Bailey a great home, but I'm sorry you had to say goodbye. (((HUGS))) I'm glad you & your family are making progress.

I have never ever in my life thought that this would be so dang hard. I raised Bailey from a pup into a well mannered, loving being. He was something very special to me and losing him ripped my heart out. My 3 year old daughter, Sierra, asked me "Why don't we have Bailey anymore? Did he run away?" It brings tears to my ears when she talks about "her dog". She loved him so much.

The reason we got Bailey was because in the old apartment, ALL dogs were allowed no matter what breed or size - I have wanted a Great Dane for a long time. We didn't plan on moving from there unless we found a place where we could keep Bailey. Then the fire happened and we were forced to leave him. He was confused, we were frustrated. Knowing that I am going to see someone else walking my dog down the street just kills me.

On getting him back, probably not. The only contract the new owner will have is the one that came from the breeder. I wouldn't want to take him away from his new family, he is going to be so happy there.

The worst part about it is waking up every morning knowing that he is gone. I can still smell him, and I saved his toys. I feel like I don't have a home anymore, it feels so wrong not having a dog.

I'm so sorry. Bailey will have a good life and you will get to see him. None of this is your fault, the fire was a sad twist of fate. Thank God you at least all got out safe. {hugs}
