About Bailey

Bailey is a young Husky and Labrador Retriever mix who has settled in quickly with her foster family near Des Moines, Iowa. She’s a bright, lively dog full of affection for people and thrives on attention. Bailey’s ideal day involves running around with toys, going for walks, and being included in everyday adventures. She’s got energy to spare but is also eager to learn—she already knows how to sit and is picking up more commands fast. She’s nearly fully potty trained and does well in her crate. Bailey walks on a leash and is working on better manners with each outing. She gets along with other dogs and has shown she can live around cats, though she may sometimes get playful and want to chase. With gentle redirection, she responds well. Her outgoing, happy personality makes her a great fit for an active home ready to invest in her further training and development. Bailey is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, and current on her preventative care. She would do well in a home with children and is at a perfect age for continued socialization. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
