Bailey - Retriever Dog for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Looking for a sweet, loving companion? Bailey might be your perfect match!
She's a playful, gentle, affectionate girl whose favorite place is wherever her people are. She's a bit of a Velcro dog and loves following her favorite person around the house, curling up on the couch, and being part of everyday life. She's the perfect mix of playful and laid-back, enjoying walks and playtime just as much as a good snuggle.

A few things to love about her:
• Dog-friendly: Enjoys other dogs and would love a canine companion.
• Great with kids: Gentle and sweet with young children.
• Good balance: Enjoys walks and playtime but settles nicely at home.
• Smart cookie: Learning her basic manners and eager to please.
• House training: Does well with a consistent routine.
• Snuggle expert: Loves being close to her people and sleeps through the night.
• Squirrel enthusiast: Walks nicely on leash, but squirrels are hard to resist!
• Toy lover: Still enjoys a good chew, so durable toys are a must.

She's still building confidence in the big outside world and will need a patient, understanding person who can help her feel safe and secure as she continues to blossom. A work-from-home adopter or an active retiree who is home much of the day would be ideal. She thrives on companionship and wants to be included in her people's daily lives.

Her dream home would include a loving family, plenty of affection, and possibly another friendly dog to play with. A securely fenced yard or leash walks are required, as she's not reliable off-leash. Cats are currently an unknown.
This sweet girl has so much love to give. She isn't looking for a perfect home, just a person who will be patient with her, help her feel safe, and give her all the love and companionship she deserves.

Bailey is estimated to be 1 year old and 46 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, and have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.
