Bailey was ADOPTED!!! It is with the happiest of hearts we are able to announce Miss Bailey has found her forever family.
Bailey (now Mokie) joined the No Borders Bulldog Rescue family as a breeder surrender. Bailey was one of two Bulldogs from a breeder to be surrendered at the same time. And as Fate would have it, both of them were adopted on the same day by two loving families.
Prior to Rescue, Mokie was not so lucky in the care department. She arrived with a SEVERE tail infection. It was so bad that Mokie would have to eventually have her tail amputated. Dr. H said it was one of the worst tail surgeries he had to ever perform. Even a nasty tail amputation didn’t slow Mokie down in finding her forever home. Actually the surgery was just a small bump in her journey. Mokie met her forever Mom and fur sister BEFORE her surgery. It was love at first sight for all. We think this gave Mokie the extra strength to come through her surgery in record time.
Mokie’s new Mom had submitted her adoption application weeks before Mokie even joined Rescue. After having been owned by a Bulldog previously and losing her to disease, she knew it was time to open her heart to another Bulldog. When Mokie joined Rescue there was something that immediately drew her now forever Mom to her. After learning we do not hold dogs for adopters, she was worried Mokie would be adopted before she was approved. But, because of her tail issues, it appeared Mokie would be on Medical hold for longer than initially thought. Mokie’s forever Mom felt she needed to meet Mokie. Even if she might not be able to adopt her, she knew in her heart Mokie was the one for her.
Mokie’s family loaded the car and drove to meet Mokie to see if the two dogs would even get along… they did. The next couple of weeks were a blur, Mokie had her surgery, her foster Mom was officially approved and during this time no one had expressed an interest in Mokie (How did that happen???). So as soon as Mokie’s now forever Mom was approved she made her intentions known-she wanted to adopt Mokie.
After several weeks of antibiotic treatment and rest and relaxation, Mokie went to the clinic to get one last check up and to be released from medical hold. Mokie’s tail had healed perfectly and she was in tip top shape. She was released from medical hold and was ready to be adopted (that was yesterday). As soon as forever Mom heard the news and asked when she would be ready to adopt Mokie, she said “tomorrow”. And you guessed it, the rest is history. Mokie joined her fur sister and Mom today as a permenant member of the family. Mokie is the perfect addition to the family and will be a cherished member for the rest of her life. Congratulations to the entire family .

The vet took out her stitches last weekend and she will be finishing her antibiotic this week. She feels so much better and has a pep to steps. I know her new family anxiously awaits her, and she will have wonderful home to go but we will miss her very much when that time comes…
9/10/2017 Update: Do we look alike? We have only had the weekend to get to know Bailey. But she gets along great with her foster brother and rambunctious sister. She is very sweet and loving, she stays one step behind you and loves tails scratches. She is still a little timid and little nervous, but is coming around and is starting to play some. Stairs are difficult for her, although she can climb a few. This sweetheart is so good natured, very quite, and is a jewel about taking a bath and her medicine. She is so very sweet . She’s a slow mover but can move into your heart quickly!
