Story
Bailey is a sweet and silly girl. She is puppy-like in her manners and is very active. She is learning manners in her training sessions and would benefit from continuing this once she is adopted. (Helping Strays offers free training after adoption). She likes to play fetch, eat treats, and gets along with other dogs. Bailey would do best with children over 12 years of age.Bailey is extremely affectionate, likes cuddles and attention. She is crate trained and she does not bark at other dogs and loves meeting them. Bailey is very intelligent and learns quickly. She has excellent promise for long term trainability and responds well to training and learning commands. She knows sit, down, no, stay, wait, drop it, take it, leave it, up, off, come, place, and crate. She even walks well on a leash for walks. Bailey is very good with physical contact with all areas, great at vet visits and groomers.If you are interested in a super terrific dog and willing to do the training to help her reach her full potential, please schedule a time to meet Bailey. Bailey is one year old and weighs 55 pounds.The adoption fee for adult dogs, seven months and older, is $250. All pets are microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will be altered prior to adoption. If you are interested in setting up a meet and greet, please stop by during open hours. Dogs may be in a foster home, therefore scheduling an appointment is recommended, but not necessary. If you have an existing dog at home, we recommend bringing it to meet your new family member.www.helpingstrays.org

Please note that we are a TX based rescue that transports our dogs once they are adopted. ALL our dogs reside in foster homes in TX. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Sandy - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! My name is Sandy after Sandy Olsson from Grease. My vocals might not be as good but when I get excited I got the dance moves down, just like Sandy. I'm dreaming of 'Summer Nights' and winter mornings in a home of my own. No more 'Tears On My Pillow' now that I've found a family to love me and cuddle with me and give me belly rubs and oh yeah, some tasty treats too, please! I'm about 2 years old and that perfect medium size of 38lbs. An active gal I am and looking for an active family to go on adventures. 'We Go Together' like two peas in a pod! 'You're The One That I Want' to spend my days having the time of our lives. Then back home for my favoritest time, yep you guessed it, snuggletime!!! With some daily exercise, I should do well in a home in town, out in the country or anywhere in between. Are you looking for that soul mate that is happy doing anything as long as we can do it together? Look no further, I could be your gal!!!!

These pups are in Columbia, Illinois too!

She wants to please you with each job/command. She is very energetic and requires daily exercise. Kiya is housebroken and better with children over 12.
