Bailey has a great personality. She loves everyone she meets, doesn’t mind other dogs, and never turns away treats. Bailey was surrendered because her previous owners didn’t have the time to care for their puppy. She can’t wait to go home to meet her new family. She is a 10-month-old Schnauzer/Poodle mix that weighs 14 pounds fully grown.
