Bailey - Labrador Retriever and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Novato, California

Meet Bailey, a five-year-old Labrador and Shepherd mix with a wonderfully curious and chill vibe. Bailey is a loyal companion who loves to stick near her humans, happily following you from room to room and soliciting affection whenever she wants a little love. She has a great track record of previously living with cats and kids, making her a fantastic fit for a peaceful household. When it comes to other dogs, Bailey is perfectly neutral with male dogs and generally ignores any dog that keeps their distance. However, she is anti-social with female dogs who try to play or get too close to her, and she will likely get into a conflict if a female dog tries to engage with her. Because of this specific quirk, Bailey needs a home where she won't visit dog parks or places where off-leash female dogs might approach her. She also dislikes invasive handling, preferring to be the one who asks for pets on her own terms. Bailey is highly motivated by treats and is incredibly receptive to training, making her an absolute joy to work with. If you are looking for a relaxed, people-oriented partner for a quiet lifestyle, Bailey is ready to be your loyal sidekick.
