My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Animal Profile: Birdie is an estimated 8-year-old spayed female Shepherd Lab mix who was rescued several years ago but unfortunately needs a new home. Her previous owners loved her very much, but have a young child almost walking who Birdie is not compatible with, and have been unsuccessful in rehoming her. DGS met and evaluated Birdie, and did not feel she was a good candidate for euthanasia. Placement might take a little longer for this older girl, but she’s worth it!

Adopter Profile:

  • Secure fenced yard preferred
  • Other balanced dog(s) OK
  • No info on cats
  • Large breed experience required
  • No kids 

Foster Updates: Birdie lives with 2 other large breed male dogs without issues and is a mellow, sweet and affectionate dog. She does well with new people with slow introductions and is a loving companion. She doesn't need a lot -- she's very good in the crate, has basic training and is house trained. She needs a calm adult only household and slow introductions to new male visitors. Birdie has loved joining her foster family on long road trips, camping out at the cabin, and playing in the back yard with her foster brothers. Birdie has also stayed in another temporary foster home while her regular fosters were out of town, and did very well with that transition. She’s a sweet, soft girl who needs an adult-only home to live out her golden years. 

Adoption Info: Birdie's adoption fee is $400, which includes spay, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, and microchip with lifetime registration. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization.

Animal History: Birdie was rescued from a DC based rescue group as a young dog, relocated to the Seattle area and lived with a young couple. She needs a new home as she has been incompatible with the new baby in the home. She needs a foster urgently.
