Meet Bailey!Bailey is a young Basenji with beauty, brains, and plenty of spirit! This cute girl is full of energy and curiosity, always ready to explore the world around her. One of Bailey’s most adorable quirks is her habit of hopping around on her back legs when she gets excited, sure to bring a smile to your face.Bailey is sweet, intelligent, and eager to learn, but she is looking for an adopter who is committed to providing ongoing training, structure, and consistency. She is still learning good manners, including that people are for loving—not mouthing/nipping—so she will need a patient family willing to continue working with her using positive reinforcement. Bailey thrives when she has both mental and physical enrichment, and with the right guidance, she has all the potential to become an incredible lifelong companion.Because of her energy level and active nature, Bailey requires a secure, fully fenced yard where she can safely run, play, and burn off energy. She is not a dog who will thrive without regular exercise and continued training.We understand that finding the right match is important, so we are also open to a foster-to-adopt arrangement for the right home. This gives both Bailey and her potential family the opportunity to ensure it's the perfect fit.If you're looking for a smart, fun-loving dog and are ready to invest the time and commitment she deserves, Bailey just might be your perfect match!If you are interested in meeting Bailey, the first step is to complete an application through the dog’s profile at newberganimals.com.Once your application is reviewed and approved, we’ll reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet appointment. Appointments are preferred so we can make sure a team member is available to assist you.The shelter is open Monday–Saturday 11am–6pm and Sunday 11am–4pm (adoptions end one hour prior to close).Due to COVID-19, we are currently only open by appointment.
