About Bailey

Meet Bailey! This 11-year-old black-and-white Heeler/Border Collie mix has perfected enjoying her golden years. Bailey is happiest taking life at a slower pace, lounging around, and soaking up the simple pleasures of cozy days. Though she may be more mature, she still has plenty of love to offer and would thrive in a home where she can relax and receive all the affection she deserves. We're still learning how Bailey feels about other pets and children, so introductions will need to be handled with care. If you’re searching for a sweet senior companion to share quiet afternoons and cozy evenings with, Bailey could be your perfect match. Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure Bailey is available for a meet-and-greet. Please contact the shelter to set up an appointment. Bailey's adoption fee is $100, which includes spaying, current vaccinations, and other benefits. All dogs must be transported in a carrier or on a leash due to the shelter's location.
