Story
Meet Bailey!
A spirited five-year-old Labradoodle currently in Fort Washington, MD, whose essence is a joyful burst of adventure wrapped in a beautiful brown coat.
Bailey is pure sunshine who needs a little extra care. She has Addison's disease, which means daily medication, regular vet monitoring, and a family who notices when something is off. She can also be anxious, so she will do best with a patient, steady family who gives her time to settle in and feel safe. She is not a dog you can forget about. She is a dog who needs a partner, and for a family ready for that, the partnership is the whole point.
At about 40 pounds, Bailey is a fun-loving, friendly girl who brings enthusiasm to everything she does! Whether she is chasing a ball, heading out for a walk, hopping into the car, swimming, or setting off on a trail run, Bailey is happiest when she is moving alongside her favorite people. She currently enjoys about three miles of walking each day, plus plenty of ball play, and she can even trail run off leash with reliable recall!
Bailey is well trained and knows commands including sit, release, and chase. She is house-trained, spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and accustomed to regular grooming every four to five weeks. After an active day, she settles down nicely and is a good sleeper. She also handles short periods alone well.
This social girl is wonderful with children of all ages and enjoys playing with other dogs! She currently lives comfortably with a cat and is friendly with feline companions. Bailey can occasionally growl when encountering German Shepherds, but she has never bitten or made contact with a person or another animal.
Bailey has Addison's disease, managed with a daily medication and a monthly injection. She had one episode of severe lethargy about two years ago and has had no episodes since. She is also being gradually weaned from anxiety medication.
With her abundant energy, Bailey needs a loving home with plenty of room for exercise, preferably outside an urban environment and with a fenced yard. An active family who enjoys running, hiking, walking, and outdoor adventures would find an enthusiastic companion in Bailey. Her new family should be comfortable continuing her medication routine, keeping up with regular vet visits, and giving her patience as she settles in.
