SweetBailey

Bailey is a partially blind 11+ year old Pointer that was found as a stray in early August. When her owner was found he didn't even notice she was gone for 2 days. He was happy to surrender her to the local shelter because he stated he couldn't hunt over her anyways. We worked hard to get her to safety and now she is safe in foster care. Here is a brief video of her in temporary foster care and we also have a photo album on Facebook .



We were able to get some blood work done and she has low white blood and red blood cells. She also has the start of kidney disease. We are treating her for suspected Lyme disease and no doubt that has contributed to her health issues and blindness. Bailey hadn't been to a vet in years and we also did a heart worm test which was thankfully negative and she also needed all her vaccinations to cross state lines.

On Saturday, August 8th, with the help of many thoughtful volunteers, Bailey was transport via car and plane to Minnesota. She is a bit nervous but adjusting to life indoors. She has to learn to use some stairs but while she is a bit afraid, she is still wagging her tail.

Bailey's initial vetting expenses are over $400 and we anticipate she may have additional expenses as we look into a dental and proactive x-rays. We appreciated any support you can give our new senior gal.
