If the last thing you want is an overly friendly dog in your face, we have the perfect pup for you! Our dainty lady named Bailey keeps her distance and is content to be worshipped from afar. Bailey weighs about 19 pounds and is estimated to be about 1 1/2 years old.
She is one of the dogs to come from a life-or-death situation, and thanks to some amazing volunteers, she and her friends Johnny, June, and Buster made it to warm, safe foster homes.
Bailey loves her foster mom and likes to explore and play in the house; however, due to her past situation, she is still very nervous about new people and will take time to adjust to her new home and people. How long will it take? We don't know. We just know that Bailey is healing and making progress in the few weeks she has been safe.
Bailey does not like to be touched or snuggled yet, but her foster mom is slowly breaking down those barriers. She needs a confident foster who doesn't need instant gratification but is instead in it for the long haul to build a deep and lifelong bond with Bailey.
Bailey is good-natured and catching on quickly to housebreaking. If you are interested in Bailey, please visit istodaymydayrescue.org to fill out an application. She is being fostered in the South St. Louis County area. Her adoption fee is $295.

Additional adoption info
We want to make this easy and we want to be sure that the dog you are interested in is a fit for you. Finding a dog or pup that works with your schedule and lifestyle is key to our placement. The questions on the application help us know if the dog you choose will do well in your home. Number of hours your dog is home alone, fenced yard, exercise plan, other family members – pets included; those are important things we want to discuss with you and your chosen canine. We do require a vet reference.
The application is on our website: Istodaymydayrescue.org. Complete and send. You can expect a reply within 24-48 hours. As all of our dogs are in foster care, we will then contact the foster home and arrange a meeting. The foster home might want to do a home visit or you might meet at a convenient location. If it is a good fit, some adoptions can be completed at that time of the meeting.
If your pup is under 4 pounds or an extra large breed at the age we typically alter our dogs, she or he might need to wait to be altered until the pup reaches a more appropriate age. This is to ensure that the pup is large enough to undergo anesthesia and old enough to not stunt the puppy's growth. If so, we will ask you to sign a spay/neuter contract. We will refer you to a low cost spay neuter program in your area. Sixty dollars will be reimbursed when the procedure is completed.
All of our dogs are micro chipped, wormed, heartworm tested if over 6 months, on heartworm preventative, treated for fleas, and have age appropriate vaccines. Pups under 16 weeks require ongoing vaccines every 2 to 3 weeks.

More about this rescue
“Is today my day?” That is what every shelter dog asks. “Is today the day that I find a home, get a family, discover that I am a best friend”? We want to tell those dogs: “Yes, it is!”
We are a foster based rescue who aims to serve south central Missouri, an area with a low human population and a high canine population. Our mission is to help dogs from this area find homes in the St. Louis area through adoptions and transfers. After covering spay/neuter costs, 20% of each adoption fee goes to our emergency medical fund so we can help canine accident victims, pay for emergency C-sections, and other health needs. The remainder of the adoption fee goes to the dogs.
We are foster based and do not have a facility. Moms and pups are our focus, but we will help any dog we can. We are only able to accept a dog when a foster home is available. All dogs and pups are current on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm tested, wormed, and treated for fleas and ticks. All dogs over 12 weeks have been altered; if too young for this procedure, a spay/neuter reimbursement is provided when the procedure is done.
