Bailey

Meet Bailey — our 60-pound shar pei mixed lovebug with the sweetest surprise: a perfect little heart marking on his back to match the giant one in his chest. 🤍 He joined us from the shelter in Forked River (Associated Humane Societies – Forked River) and has been stealing hearts ever since. With a smile so wide and tongue that flops out the side with joy, who can resis that boy?<br/><br/>At 7 years old, Bailey is the perfect blend of mature and playful. He’s past the puppy chaos but still full of personality and joy. His absolute favorite pastime? Watching TV. And not casually — he has opinions. Love Is Blind is currently his show of choice, and he’ll happily binge alongside you, fully invested in the drama.<br/><br/>Every single morning, Bailey has a non-negotiable ritual: he demands to hold hands with his foster. It started sweet… and now it’s the official way to begin the day. He reaches out, locks in, and won’t let go until he’s satisfied. It’s safe to say this boy bonds deeply and loves hard.<br/><br/>Bailey also takes his personal growth seriously. Regular trips to The Home Depot are part of his training routine, where he works on manners, confidence, and remaining focused through distractions. He’s smart, eager to learn, and thrives when given structure and praise.<br/><br/>He’s affectionate, interactive, and happiest when included in his people’s daily life — whether that’s errands, training sessions, couch time, or morning cuddle rituals. Bailey is ready for a forever home that will celebrate his quirks, honor his hand-holding contract, and love the sweet boy with the heart on his back.<br/><br/>Bailey is best suited for a home with dog-savvy adults, maybe one that understands shar peis. They love their people with an unmatched loyalty and devotion. So, with new people, he needs a warm-up period and patience. Once you are in his circle of trust, the sky is the limit!<br/><br/>When you adopt Bailey, you’re not just getting a dog — you’re getting a best friend who literally holds onto you. 💛Bailey will only have eyes for his family, so he asks to be the only pet in the home.<br/><br/>If interested in adopting Bailey, please complete an application, which can be found on our website at www.twentypawsrescue.com/forms-applications.
