Bailey is a 12 year old Australian Shepherd in Durham, NC, who needs $2,000 for Bandage Changes, Skin Reconstruction Surgery.

Bailey was a gift from my parents during my first semester of college. I was looking into getting an Aussie so they started looking and came across Bailey at a breeder. He had initially been sent to live with another family but they abused him and returned him for poor behavior. The breeder was going to euthanize Bailey since he was no longer great with kids but my parents brought him home instead

Bailey developed cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis after having bladder stone surgery. All of the skin in his chest had to be removed after it necrosed and is currently going through the very long process of healing which includes lots of bandage changes. There is hope to get him his skin reconstruction surgery in the future. He is being treated at Triangle Veterinary Referral Hospital in Durham.

He very quickly becomes everyone's best friend when he enters a room. He brings so much joy and positive energy and is the energizer bunny of the family even with everything that he is currently going through, He has touched so many lives in his time on this planet and I would love for him to be around for as long as possible to keep spreading the joy he brings

I need help covering the costs of his bandage changes during his healing process. Currently he is requiring multiple bandage changes a week and this will continue for the long foreseeable future until his skin can grow back. Every little bit helps.
