Bailey (Great Dane) Needs A Home

[BC_MoM]

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?

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}

I'm so sorry that you were not able to keep Bailey.

Did you ever find Amadeus? *HUGS*

OMG! I just now saw this thread! I'm SO SO SORRY! What a horrible thing for you and your family to go through. I'm so sorry you had to give Bailey up. Good luck in your new home and getting on your feet again. maybe someday you can have another Bailey...just like one of these days I'll have another Jake.

Did you ever find Amadeus?

Yes, I found my special orange dude. He was still outside of the apartment after the fire. A lady from CDART (Canadian Disaster Animal Response Team) put out some food and water for him. Luckily, he stuck around long enough for us to find him.

I am so sorry you had to give Bailey up but it sounds like he went to a great home!
I've been watching this thread but unfortunatly I didn't have time to reply. You've been in my thoughts. HUGS

It's not so much about the title on the dog as it is a little more assurance for the apartment complex that the owner has the knowledge to be a responsible pet owner.

It's up to the owners of all rentals to set their own rules for accepting pets. Look at it this way; most apartment owners won't accept pets under any circumstances. This one at least gives responsible pet owners a chance!
