There’s a grand stretch in the evenings and if you’re on the lookout for a buddy to get you out of the house, we have just the guy.

Bailey the lurcher is currently in the care of Cork Dog Action Welfare.

DAWG volunteers describe him as ‘everyone’s friend’ and he’s a very sincere dog with a gentle temperament.

Sadly, nobody has offered him a permanent home just yet.

However, the reasons to adopt him are many; he looks spiffing in a bandana (just look at that face) but his main interests are stretching his legs in the day time and lounging in a cosy living room by night.

Bailey would make the perfect companion or family dog – hopefully finding an owner who can keep him in the fancy fashions he’s become accustomed to.

If you think you might be able to give Bailey his forever home, click here or call 083 171 4307. Homechecks are carried out to ensure that every Cork DAWG resident goes to a suitable home.
