Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Bailey!
*Bailey's adoption fee has been sponsored by Forever Home Real Estate.
Hi, I'm Bailey. I'm a bit nervous about meeting new people, but I warm up very quickly, like in less than an hour! The best thing is, after I get to know you, I promise to love you unconditionally. I’m around 9 years old, which is still middle-aged for a cattle dog, my foster mom says! I’m also pretty compact at under 30 pounds – a great size if you need to pick me up for some reason.
My foster mom says it is best to get the description of my challenges out of the way first, so here we go! I’ve had a bit of a rough go of it, through no fault of my own. I had a medical event best described as a seizure when I was still down south. The vet here thinks that is what gives me tremors when I get excited. My back end is a bit less coordinated than it once was due to what happened. I need to go out to pee every 3 or so hours but am a pro at pee pads if you are gone for longer. None of this has slowed me down, though. I also have a tooth the vet says may need to be pulled at some point, but that it is fine for now. Last thing, I like to tell stories, as in I can be a bit barky. The foster humans are helping me channel my excitement that compels me to bark and will happily share what they are doing to help me on that front! But this means no apartments for me single family homes only.
Now that that is out of the way on to the great stuff about me! I have the most adorable under-bite you can imagine! I also make the cutest noises when I am getting pets and belly rubs. I'm house trained and put myself to bed at night when I get tired and stay there until morning. I've tested all the soft places and dog beds at my foster home, and I prefer sleeping with the humans. But I am fine with a nice dog bed or the crate. I get along famously with other dogs, no matter the size, cats are great too! I currently live with two other dogs and am really hoping to get adopted to a home with a fur sibling to keep me company. Living with little kids wouldn't be great for me, as they make me nervous, but respectful teenagers who can give me endless love and don't have lots of friends coming in and out? Yes, please!
I love to go for walks and go to my leash to let you know when I want to go. I also go to the back door and lie down to let you know I need to go out. I am great at fetch and love a good trip to the dog park, too! I'm a very smart girl and can shake hands with both paws. I love belly rubs and will bury my head in your arms to show you how much I love you. I enjoy going for car rides, and I would be a great travel companion. I'd love it if my forever family found me soon, so I can start settling into my new home!

Disclaimer: It is VERY difficult even for a veterinarian to tell the exact age of a dog over two years old. From one vet to another, we can get different age estimates on the same dog and they can vary by several years. We are only making an educated guess based on a few factors like teeth, fur color, and overall body condition, but for dogs who have not been given adequate vet care and food, it can be even more difficult. Every dog is an individual, and we do our very best to age appropriately but make no guarantees as to the age of any dog in our program.
