I lie down with my puppy friends at bedtime and sleep the night away.      If you are in search of a snuggle session and a pup with an endearing personality, I would love to meet you!  Please fill out an application so that we can meet soon!

Story
Name: Hailey Age: 3 years Gender: Female Breed: Collie/Lab/Heeler mix Weight: 50 lbs Dog friendly: yes  Cat friendly: yes Child friendly: yes House trained: yes Crate trained: yes but not needed does fantastic left out Energy level: Moderate Temperament: independent, handler-focused, kind, gentle, intelligent, loyal Requirement: Not apartment appropriate but could be in a townhome or condo Adoption fee: $375 +tax To adopt, go to: www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html From the Foster Family:  Hailey has been in our home for many months, through raising her 8 pups, through heartworm treatment, and recently dental work.  She is an energetic companion who likes walks and outside sniffing, exploring, etc.  Her earlier life as a stray taught her to be wise about survival. She resembles Aussie and Cattle dog traits, as she is alert, guarding, and loyal to her human.   She has been around other adult dogs often and does well and likes to play.  During her time with us, she's had many social opportunities with people and dogs of all ages.  This dog deserves a good, loving home. (Not that any dog doesn’t) but she has been through enough.   She is unable to do some things with her mouth - just because she is missing many of her front teeth.  They were damaged beyond repair when she came into care and needed to be removed.  She doesn’t require special food, and will enjoy some bones and chew treats as she has her back teeth to eat with.  Once she acclimates to her home and family she should be an easy dog to care for.  April 29, 2025, 3:25 pm
