Fostered in Santa Cruz
****
Hello World,
We’re Bailey and Navi, a bonded pair of lovable fluffs looking for a forever home together. I’m Bailey, a man-sized Bichon tipping the scale at 20+ pounds, and Navi is my glamorous little leading lady. She’s a Maltese of about 13 pounds with ears that make people smile. Together, we’re equal parts sweetness, cuddles, and a bit of comedy.
Our foster family says we settled into home life and routines beautifully. We’re affectionate, playful, crate-trained, house-trained, and wonderful with the other pups in the house. We still bark at unfamiliar people, sounds, and dogs sometimes on our walks — but we’re already improving with patience, positive experiences, and practice. Our Foster Mom says we’re smart and eager to learn and to please.
As for me, I’m Bailey, the soulful one with beautiful, big, round eyes that look into your soul. Mom says it feels like I’m saying, “Thank you for being my person.” And honestly? That’s exactly what I mean.
I’m playful, a bit goofy, and absolutely LOVE toys — especially stuffed crabs and alligators. I’ll happily play fetch, tug-of-war, or bounce around the house like a puppy. I firmly believe I’m a lap dog and will gladly climb right into your lap for snuggles whenever there’s space available. Dad says I’m sweet, sturdy, and the “solid center” of our little pair.
I’m also a gentleman. I share my toys nicely, let the other pups win at tug-of-war, and even when I get excited or barky on walks, I wag my tail the whole time. I’m affectionate with everyone I trust and happiest curled up close to my people.
As to my beautiful best friend, Navi, well, she’s the glamorous one with champagne-colored hair, long blonde eyelashes, and the most fabulous ears you’ve ever seen — one standing tall while the other flops over dramatically like an old Hollywood movie star. (She knows she’s adorable, too.)
Navi greets her favorite humans with full-body wiggles, waving paws, and the fastest little hip wiggles imaginable. She loves belly rubs, stretching out frog-leg style after walks, standing up on her back legs to supervise the world, and cuddling deeply with her chosen person. (Dad may not be completely wrapped around her paw yet, but he’s probably pretty close! That’s Navi’s way.)
While she can be a little more vocal and cautious in new situations, Navi’s also incredibly tender-hearted and loving once she feels safe. We both thrive with patience, kindness, and a calm environment where we can continue building confidence.
We sleep quietly together in our crate at night, ride beautifully in the car, and have excellent house manners. We haven’t had a single accident (and that’s not a typo!) We do have a little separation anxiety and prefer being close to our humans whenever possible.
Our Ideal Home:
*Someone patient, loving and home much of the time
*A calmer home so we can continue to build our confidence
*People committed to ongoing training
Experience Level:
*Have had dogs as an adult
*Recent/current dog experience preferred
While we may not instantly rush up to greet every new person, once you earn our trust, you’ll have two loyal, affectionate, hilarious companions to fill your home with cuddles, personality, and unconditional love. And remember, we are a dynamic duo if we do say so ourselves!
Tail wags, toy tosses, and glamorous poses,
Bubbly Bailey & Noteworthy Navi
