Hi friends! I am sweet Bailey! I was dropped off at a pound in AR and they did not have any room for me. They reached out to Happy Tails because I am such a sweet lady! I love everything and everyone! I must have been in a home at one time because i like a clean kennel and have the biggest tail wags for everyone. I am spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Please come meet me today!

Story

Poor Ziva was found by the local Animal Control as an injured stray. She had multiple slashes across her back and leg. We can only imagine her pain. She had medical treatment and stayed at the local Animal Control. We pulled Ziva on her euthanasia day because we could not give up on her. She actually arrived with her red EU collar on. She has blossomed since being here. Her beautiful blue eyes will melt you and her wounds are healed to a beautiful black velvet. She loves her people. She is good with other dogs, but has a fear of cats and her anxiety can be a threat to them. We estimate her to be around 5 years old.
