Description
Beautiful Bailey was adored by her family. They knew she was a special girl and ensured that she had endless love, attention, and plenty of toys. However, when an unexpected event took place, they were unable to keep Bailey and provide her with the life they knew she deserved. Recognizing that we would provide Bailey with everything she needed to meet with success, her family made the heartbreaking decision to return her to the MAGSR. Knowing this was a very difficult decision, we promised we would find Bailey the perfect forever family.
Bailey is an active, intelligent, and playful girl. She loves her people fiercely and gives them every ounce of affection she has. With some very strong GSD traits, Bailey is loyal, protective, and on point. She tends to notice everything around her and keeps an eye on her people at all times. As a girl with a high prey drive, smaller creatures can be a little too enticing for Bailey. She finds joy in chasing small creatures, such as rabbits and squirrels, and will need to be monitored closely if they are out and about with her. Fond of the outdoors, Bailey is always up for a long walk, hike, or adventure. She takes cues well from the handler and knows many commands. Lucky to have lived in a loving household for a few years, Bailey has developed a solid understanding of and appreciation for toys; she is hoping her forever family enjoys them too! She loves to play ball and can't help but enjoy a good squeaky toy. With a few years of experience living in a home, Bailey has also developed an affinity for a soft bed. She loves cuddling up on her dog bed and doesn't mind having a dog bed or two in the house just to change up viewpoints throughout the day. Although Bailey is crate trained and housebroken, once settled, she prefers to be out and about. This seems to keep her more settled throughout the day. As is true of all shepherds Bailey will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. Providing clear boundaries and expectations will help Bailey meet with success. Bailey has already completed some basic training; however, she is always up for more! Continued training is essential to Bailey's success. Not only will it help her develop her canine citizenship skills, but it will also help her develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family.
If your family is looking for an active girl who will fill your days with doggy smiles, squeaky toys, and plenty of exercise, Bailey is your girl.

I am a 5 yr old girl with a lot of spunk. I get real excited when it's time to go out. I like people, but I'm reactive to other dogs. I am good with my commands, I am crate trained, I like laying at my human's feet in the evenings. When my people leave, I get all upset, I seem to do better when left out of my crate. I have a good appetite and take treats gently, and I'm good on walks. I feel like Super Girl, can jump a 5 ft door at the kennel. I like to play with stuffed toys, I'm not a big fan of balls. I like to play in the pool at the kennel. If I sound like the dog for you, I'm looking for my forever home.
,Bailey, like most dogs, has her pros and cons with her personality. The good things about her - she's very friendly with people, and she bonds very closely to her people. She is very well trained. In the evenings I bring her in from her final walk and make her sit, then I say "okay" and she runs for her doggy bed next to the couch where I sit to watch TV, and she lays there until it's time to go to bed. She is crate trained and does good in the crate except when you leave. She loves to go for car rides, and loves her stuffed toys, especially ones with squeakers. She will play with balls that squeak sometimes, but she likes stuffed toys better. She has some toys, a doggy bed, and a secure crate that go with her. Bailey is not a fan of thunderstorms, fireworks and small dogs. It seems if you have her next to you during storms, she does much better, and is not as skittish. She prefers to be the only dog in the house. You have to be on guard with her around open doors. She does have separation anxiety and would rather spend time with her humans. If Bailey sounds like the pup for you, she’s ready to go!
