“Woof! Woof! I am Bailey the Toy Poodle. I’m 6 years old and milk bones are my favorite treat. I am a faithful and happy pup and I sure do love my owners, Marcus and Liz Moody of Luverne. I get really excited when my Daddy comes home from traveling for work.”

According to her owners, Bailey is well trained and athletic. She understands commands like outside, go potty, inside and go to your bed. She is a healthy girl and not a picky eater at all. She does get spooked easily and can often be found right on her owner’s heels. Bailey sleeps in the entrance room that the family calls “the poodle room” where she snoozes with her older sister Zoe. Bailey can be a prissy girl and gets her hair and nails done every two weeks or so at Pet Boutique in Luverne.

“Pet of the Week” and the quarterly feature, “Pet of the Season,” are sponsored by Crenshaw Animal Clinic and Dr. Alethea Gammage of Luverne – (334) 335-5309. Crenshaw Animal Clinic is a full-service small animal clinic that provides comprehensive health care for pets. They offer a full range of services to help keep pets happy and healthy- including vaccine administration, routine preventive care, wellness exams, dental care, allergy care, flea/tick/heartworm control, parasite control, routine surgical procedures, microchipping, early detection, and treatment of a wide range of conditions and diseases with in-clinic diagnostics, ophthalmology, spay and neuter, and more. During the quarterly “Pet of the Season” contest, animals featured in “Pet of the Week” will go head to head, and the animal with the most votes will win a personalized prize package from Crenshaw Animal Clinic valued at $250. At the end of the year, all quarterly winners will compete for “Crenshaw County Pet of the Year” and the grand prize.
