Story
Bailey is here but not for long. We are all positive she is perfect! From her face, with those filp-floppy ears to her friendly, fun-loving personality, she is best-friend ready! She is social- without being too outgoing or pushy, she is playful- but not the non-stop type, she settles into relaxed easily. When she is ready to rest, you will find her on the softest blanket available- we love a girl who knows cozy. Take a look at her in action then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/iW0svi66BJQ
Bailey is estimated to be 1.5 years old, which may have something to do with the balance of her playful, bouncy personality and quick return to calm. Our breed observations lead us to believe, no guarantees because its rescue, she may be a Mountain Cur/Shepard mix. She also tends to have a Boxer play style as seen in her video. Don’t let her size scare you- she is not great dane size, and weighs in at 64 lbs full-grown. Breed doesn’t matter as much as her amazing disposition, friendly nature, and best-friend potential.
Bailey met loads of new people and dogs during her time with us and she continued to impress us and make us laugh. She is friendly with new people but she is not obsessive about getting to them, she waits patiently and lets people come to her. This is perfect if you like a dog that is great out in public but isn’t going to be dragging you around looking for free pets and treats. With dogs, she is friendly and polite for leash greetings. Off-leash she is quick to invite her new friend(s) to play but doesn’t pester if they don’t accept. She has great play manners, with a classic “boxer-like” play-style, using those paws in a way some would call rough and tumble. Bailey would love a home with a playful doggie-friend, ideally similar sized so she can bounce around without worrying she could hurt her new friend. At 1.5 y/o she is still learning her puppy playfulness is inside a fully-grown dogs body. We did introduce Bailey to our house cat and she was polite but very interested in playing so a cat-free home would be best. She can get a little vocal while playing but it is all in good fun. Bailey is fostered in a bustling home with 4 other dogs who she gets along with perfectly. She has not shown any reactivity with food or toys, an ideal quality for multi-pet homes.
Because Bailey is in a foster home we are able to share all of those amazing qualities she is learning and showing off. First, she is fully house and crate trained and has not had one accident in her foster home! Round of applause of Bailey! Second, she is incredibly respectful of all the things around the house that are not for doggies- no chewing or counter surfing here. She also went to the pet store recently and was a perfect lady while exploring the store and during her bath time! If you ask her foster family one thing they love about her, at least one person will say- her warm eyes. They are those gorgeous, secret-keeper eyes!
If you are looking for a walking partner, Bailey is prime for the role. She has great leash manners and walks with an easy pace, stays close and is patient if you need to stop and chat or tie your shoe. Plus, she is already confident and at ease when tandem walking with another dog.

You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.
While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
