Story
Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Sweet girl looking fresh start and love! BAILEY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Bailey and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (October 1st) from 12-3 pm at the Potomac Yard PetSmart in Alexandria (3351 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305)! Name: Bailey Best Guess for Breed: Catahoula Mix Best Guess for Age: 4.5 years as of May 2023 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 45 lbs as of August 2022 Gets Along With: Bailey has done well with other dogs but she should not go to a home with cats. We haven't seen her with kids but she can be tested. Currently Living at: DC area foster home Special adoption considerations: Bailey is a truly Lucky Dog! She tested positive for Heartworm disease but has already been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process. Bailey is Looking For: Her forever family! Through no fault at all of her own, she needs a new home and she is eager to have her own humans to trot alongside on long sniffy walks, romps in the park, and all the adventures they can dream up. She's been saving up her adoring gazes, kisses, and tail wags in the shelter to bestow upon her new humans - she promises loyal companionship in addition to those. What do you say? Can you see Bailey curled up by you as you chill after a fun day together? What My Foster Says About Me: Bailey is a super sweet girl who loves humans and playing with other dogs. She’s smart and a quick learner, we’ve seen tremendous improvement in her behavior in a very short amount of time. Bailey loves playing and running around as much as she enjoys taking long naps and sleeping in. She prefers to be close to her humans when they are home, and will be very chill and most likely sleeping whenever she’s home alone. Although she hasn’t lived with kids as far as we know, she is always very sweet and gentle whenever kids in the street or park want to pet her. While sometimes with adults she will want to jump and play, she has never tried this with kids and just enjoys the pets and love from the little ones. We believe she would do best with a family that will give her lots of attention and room to play / run around to spend her energy. Additionally, Bailey LOVES car rides and playing in the water, so we think she would be great company on road trips and beach / lake adventures! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.
