About Bailey

Bailey is an affectionate 8-year-old Shorkie, a delightful mix of Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier. We’re helping her find a new home due to her previous owner’s inability to care for her. Bailey weighs about 15 pounds, and she’s spayed, vaccinated, and up to date on her heartworm prevention. This sweet girl loves attention and tends to thrive in a setting where she’s not competing for it with other dogs. She gets along well with dogs but would appreciate a companion who doesn't crave the spotlight too much. While we haven’t assessed her behavior around cats or children yet, we aim to learn more at her upcoming vet appointment. If you’re interested in meeting Bailey, please fill out an application on our website. Your new best friend is just one click away.
