My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bailey is a beautiful 6-year-old, 69-pound bundle of joy looking for her forever home. This sweet girl has a heart of gold and a personality that will melt your heart.

Bailey's hobbies include running, fetching sticks of all shapes and sizes, and enjoying peaceful naps. Her absolute favorite toy is a rope squirrel, but she's always up for trying out new playthings with her beloved humans.

One of Bailey's most endearing qualities is her snuggly nature. She adores being spoiled and will happily curl up beside you for hours of cuddles and affection. When her foster mom was under the weather, Bailey showed her compassionate side by providing comfort and companionship.

She is housebroken and able to be left alone. With a willingness to learn, Bailey is currently honing her leash manners. While she can be a bit strong on the leash, she's making great progress and is eager to please.

Bailey is great with children and seems to have a special fondness for younger teenagers. She harbors no issues with men or women; in fact, she believes that all humans are good and worthy of her love. Bailey does prefer to soak in all the love herself so no other pets in the home would be best.

While Bailey may take a little time to fully trust due to her intelligence and cautious nature, once she feels secure, her affection knows no bounds. Meeting new people is a breeze for Bailey, as she greets everyone with a wagging tail and a friendly smile.

Although she's perfectly content relaxing on her own, Bailey occasionally likes to remind her humans of her presence by seeking out a cozy spot in their laps.

As part of our Love Lasts Program for dogs over 5 years old, Bailey's adoption fee is waived!

If you're ready to welcome a loyal companion who will fill your days with love, laughter, and endless snuggles, Bailey is waiting to meet you! Adopt this precious pup today and watch your life become infinitely brighter with her by your side. If you would like to meet Bailey and learn more about her from her foster family please email dogfosters@barcs.org

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

BARCS takes in new animals in need of a loving home every day. The pictures above only represent a portion of the animals that are available for adoption at any given time. Some animals get adopted immediately and their photos never make it onto our website—which is wonderful! If you don’t see what you are looking for, please visit our shelter to meet your perfect match today! Adoption fees are $75; however, we offer several adoption packages listed here. Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Step 1: Check out the adoptable cats, dogs and small companion animals listed on our website. Animals with a blue “I’m in Foster” banner are not currently in our shelter. Check www.barcs.org for our adoption process for animals in foster homes.

Step 2: Visit our shelter during adoption hours (Monday-Friday 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.). When you arrive, you will first be asked to fill out our Shelter Adoption Application with your information. You may also pre-fill our Shelter Adoption Application ahead of time online to save time when you are at the shelter. Your application will be processed after you meet the animal.

Step 3: Tour our adoption rooms and write down the names of animals that you would like to meet. A volunteer or staff member will help you meet your chosen animals to make a match!

Step 4: When you have selected the right animal for you, our Adoptions Team will run your Adoption Application for approval. Once your application is approved, you will participate in an adoption class where you will learn all of the details about your new adopted family member, including their known history and medical records.

What else to expect: Animals who are already spayed/neutered and past their stray hold (if applicable) can often go home with you the same day. Pick-up arrangements for unaltered animals and/or animals still on a stray hold will be made during your adoption class.

More about this shelter

BARCS is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization operating Maryland’s largest animal shelter and pet adoption center. We are an open admission shelter, granting refuge to every abandoned, neglected, abused, lost or surrendered animal that comes through our door. A staggering 30 or more animals are surrendered to BARCS every day. No matter what the circumstance, we do not turn away any animal in need of shelter, food, medical care and a loving touch. Yearly, this equates to more than 12,000 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, and even wildlife and exotic animals that need care and placement.
