Meet Bailey, a WONDERFUL girl with a FANTASTIC personality! She is a 40 lb energetic girl that loves to play. She is GREAT with other dogs of all sizes, she knows to get low and get down when playing with dogs smaller than her and can hold her own with dogs her size. She is housetrained and crate trained! She hasn't had much time walking on a leash, but is a smart cookie and with some positive reinforcement, she will pick it up quickly. Bailey loves cuddles and kisses. She is good with older children but not recommended for toddlers or very small (crawling) children/toddlers. Bailey still has "puppy" energy, it's likely the Aussie in her (so we think). She is looking for an active family that has a fenced-in yard where she can run freely and play! Bailey is an all-around GEM, and she is going to make one lucky family extremely happy. We are looking for the right fit here. Bailey was adopted as a very young puppy and returned as an adult because she has too much energy for the young children. She has spent time in doggy day care in her previous home and she did very well! Her new family will need to give her a little grace in adjusting to a new home and family. But she is going to reward you with years of unconditional love and loyalty! Bailey is estimated to be 1 year 9 months old, she is up to date on her yearly vaccines, spayed and microchipped. ***This is an out-of-town listing*** We list our adoptable animals in the areas where we can transport to. _______________________________ Considering adoption? THE FIRST STEP IS TO COMPLETE AN APPLICATION~ COMPLETED APPLICATIONS TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER INQUIRIES *Copy and paste the following link to fill out an application https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DIX/dog Once submitted, we’ll review it and reach out to approved applicants by phone or email. *****A Petfinder Inquiry is not the same as an application **** we will ask you to fill out an application if you submit an inquiry through Petfinder. Do not submit an application if you are not CURRENTLY READY to adopt. All of our animals are rescued and transported from South Mississippi where major animal overpopulation means less homes. We only transport them once adopted, in most instances, we can be available for a video call once an application has been approved. WE PERSONALLY TRANSPORT OUR OWN adopted animals to meet their new families. We transport every 2-3 weeks. We facilitate adoptions through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to VA, MD, PA, NJ, CT, VT, and NY. Our dogs travel in comfort with 24/7 care. We have been facilitating long distance adoptions since 2019. ***Breed input is required for each platform but is not guaranteed to be accurate. We do not DNA test. We rescue animals from different situations. We discuss breed assignments with our vets to label them as accurately as possible. *** We are currently unable to adopt pets to ME and RI residents
