About Bailey

Bailey is a young Shih Tzu mix recently rescued from a hoarding situation in Mesquite, NV, alongside over 100 other dogs. She's a small dog still learning about home life, so house training isn't quite there yet. Bailey gets along with other dogs, which should make her transition a bit easier if you've already got a dog at home. She'll be spayed and fully vaccinated before adoption is final, so you won't have to worry about that step. Bailey is in St. George, UT and is ready for a new start in a patient home where she can finally settle in and relax. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
