Story
Meet Bailey
Bailey is a gorgeous little dog. Like so many, she’s had a rough life. Her owner used to chase her and scare her into hiding. Bailey was terrified of him. Thankfully, she was surrendered to our shelter where we are helping her decompress, showing her only love and kindness. Bailey is responding so well to our world and is just the most wonderful little lovebug.
Bailey looks to be a chi/Italian greyhound mix. She has a pretty black and white coat, intelligent eyes, long legs and a happy prance. She weighs 17 lbs. She is thought to be two-three years old. Bailey has a wonderful demeanor. She is calm, gentle, out-going, friendly, affectionate, and well-mannered. After all she’s been through, she LOVES people, she likes dogs and doesn’t know what to think about cats lol! She’s curious about them, moving slowly to check them out and then shies away and busies herself elsewhere. Bailey loves jumping in a lap. She loves to be picked up and cuddled and then she’s off to explore her surroundings. She welcomes attention and just wags and wags her tail in bliss and happiness. Bailey loves giving little doggie kisses. She wants you to know how happy she is to feel safe and protected.
She walks easily on a leash and enjoys an easy stroll. Bailey was known to run if given the chance. Letting her out in an enclosed area is recommended or keeping her on a leash at all times when outside. Our guess is that Bailey was scared of her owner and would run away when she could. Bailey lived inside, but she is not house-trained. We don’t think her owner spent much time working with her, so with consistency she would probably learn pretty quickly. As a small dog, it’s usually just a matter of taking them out more often than a bigger pup to let them do their business. Bailey is a precious little girl who will add so much joy to your world. She is a gem who has never had the chance to shine, but she’s ready to take your world and heart by storm.
