Bailey is my 14-month-old black lab, and she means the world to me. On 2/09/2026, she went missing from Sara Schmitt Dressage, the very farm where she was born and raised. Bailey is a friendly but skittish dog—she may bark if approached, but she has never bitten anyone. She has always stayed close to home and has never wandered off like this before, which makes her disappearance even more heartbreaking.

Since Bailey went missing, I have been doing everything I can to find her. I have already hired a drone search company to help look for her, and if that doesn't work, I plan to contact a dog scent team as well. Both of these services are expensive, and the costs are quickly adding up. I am reaching out to my community for help because I want to do everything possible to bring Bailey home safely.

We are desperately seeking any support to help cover the costs of these search and rescue services. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference in our efforts to bring Bailey home. Thank you so much for your kindness and support during this difficult time.
