About Bailey & Ember

Meet Bailey & Ember! This shy male and female hound-shepherd mix pair is looking for a foster or forever home. Both Bailey and Ember need someone special to help them overcome their fears of new people. Bailey, the 7-1/2-year-old male, weighs about 85 lbs., while his companion Ember is a 4-1/2-year-old female at 63 lbs. This duo was rescued from a shelter where they had become frightened, likely due to being mistreated and kept in a backyard. They have been great with other dogs and deserve a loving home where they can thrive. Ember is more timid than Bailey, but with time and patience, both will warm up to you. If you're ready to open your heart and home to these gentle souls, please consider adopting them. They are currently in Ventura, CA, and ready to meet you!
