Bailey's Story...
Meet Bailey! He is a 4 year old , yellow lab mix who was born on 01-10-08. He was adopted by a local couple via the AHS at the age of 8 weeks.
Bailey quickly bonded with the female in the family who often took him running. He has become available for re-homing due to the female's untimely death. Since her passing, neighbors have occasionally taken him on runs, but he needs significant daily exercise that his human dad simply can't provide.
Bailey is a high-energy, smart, friendly and loyal dog. He is a fantastic watch dog, and easily trained using positive reinforcement.
Since his adoption as a puppy, Bailey has been in a loving and secure home alongside a very sweet female black lab. Bailey and the other dog have an excellent relationship.
Bailey has had no medical issues since he was a pup. He will be up-to-date on all vaccinations as of 9/7/2012. Although he cannot be adopted before 9/7, he can meet with potential adoptive families.
Bailey is good with women, men and other dogs. Cats - unknown. Children - unknown.
He would be an outstanding dog for an active person (mountain biker, hiker or runner), or for a family who lives on a large piece of property with lots of room for Bailey to run and play.
If you would like to meet this wonderful , happy boy, please fill out a statement of interest at www.alternativehumanesociety.com (under the ADOPT tab).

Our Adoption Process...
AHS does not do same-day adoptions. We provide a form called a “Statement of Interest” for potential adopters to fill out. When completed, this form is reviewed by an AHS volunteer (the animal’s Case Manager) who will contact the potential adopter with any additional questions and arrange a meeting if it looks like a good match. The potential adopter usually hears back from a volunteer within 2-3 days, but since many of our volunteers also work at full-time jobs, the entire process can take longer. Although we try our very best we usually will not be able to contact every person who submits a Statement of Interest, we reserve our limited resources for those who look like a good match.
