Bailey

Bailey carries the emotional and physical scars of a hard past. She is learning to trust our staff and volunteers; however, there are still a few men that she still will not allow to freely be in her space. She also has not learned to trust hands in her neck region to clip/unclip leashes so will need patience and work in this area. She has been on a few outings and rides well in a car. She seemed non-reactive to cats in a controlled environment but definite slow intros will be necessary. We have not done direct dog to dog intros but she seems non-reactive to other dogs in the kennel environment. The biggest obstacle to adoption for Bailey is building trust with a human so you can safely handle her if she would get in a tussle with the dog or cat. While she currently has no bite record, and does a great job of giving signals for when she is being pushed beyond her comfort level, we do believe that she will bite if someone doesn't read her cues so it is very important that an adopter understands that they have to go at her pace. Leash Manners: excellent, heals and sit heals Basic Commands: sit, down, heal, drop, stay, recall. Rides great in the car and waits if you go in some place. Cat introduction in a controlled environment: no reaction she is friendly toward them in controlled environment Good with dogs? Eligible for dog intros has played with other dogs here does not like some dogs Special Notes : does not like leash clipped on and can be touchy about using a slip lead in and out of her kennel (reactive with slip lead only in her indoor kennel) Adoption Fee: $100 Estimated Date of Birth: Unknown Intake Reason: Transfer from another shelter, at risk of euthanasia at time of transfer Animal will be spayed and up to date on vaccines, and microchipped prior to adoption. If their kennel card on display at TAPS shelter facility is marked as unaltered, the animal will be altered prior to being released for adoption. Animal stage may change from time to time based on surgery and medical status. TAPS strives to keep kennel cards as up to date as possible with current information but from time to time, information may change and a new kennel card may be pending. Full and current vaccination schedule and medical records along with any behavioral disclosures will be provided at time of adoption.
