Wow, congrats on yoru new family member. I'm so glad you didnt let age keep you from getting a wonderful dog

Bailey Button is adorable, and she looks much younger than her 12 years. I'd be willing to bet with the new lease on life you have given her she acts much younger too!

Thank you for choosing not only to rescue, but to rescue a "senior" girl as well. May you have many happy and healthy years together. I hope you'll continue to share pictures of your sweet girl with all of us.

I looked at the dogs they listed online, saw a few that might be a good fit, then headed over with the family.

And that's where we met Bailey. She's 12 years old and an absolute dream. It's hard to remember not having her in our lives and we are all better for her being here.

This forum has already been a great resource for me as I learn how to best care for Bailey at this stage of her life. Thanks!

DEFINATELY impressed that you adopted an older dog...plan on doing the same in a few years when I'm too old to raise a puppy. Good on you and keep speading the word.

Glad to hear that you adopted an older/senior yorkies. They pay us back so many times with their love and affection. Most of the time they are already house/potty trained and trained. Zipp was 15 when I adopted him and he made it to 17 1/2 before he died.
