My name is Birdie!

This dog is in the Nashville, Tennessee area. 

Meet Birdie, a gorgeous Chocolate Lab/Aussie mix with a big smile, a happy tail, and the sweetest soul. Birdie is about 4 years old and 67 pounds. This beautiful girl is fully housetrained. Birdie is the ultimate “Velcro dog”—she wants nothing more than to be by your side during the day and curled at the foot of your bed at night. With her kind eyes, affectionate nature, and eagerness to please, she quickly wins hearts wherever she goes. At just the right mix of smart and spirited, Birdie thrives on both love and activity. She has a high energy level, but her exercise needs can be met with a couple of good outings a day. She’s incredibly intelligent, already knowing sit, shake, lay down, roll over, stay, and even recall. She can run a basic agility course and is always eager to learn new tricks, especially if it means quality time with her person. Despite her energy, she also knows how to settle down and will happily rest at your feet after a good day’s play. Birdie has a playful side that shines when she’s chasing critters or exploring outside, and she’d be happiest in a home where she can safely enjoy off-leash time with her person nearby. She loves kids she knows and does wonderfully with cats, making her a great companion for the right family. While she can be wary of strangers and nervous around other dogs, her loyalty and devotion to her family are unmatched. This sweet girl would thrive in a home with space to run and explore, ideally with access to nature where she can indulge her love of chasing and then return indoors to snuggle. Birdie is ready to bring joy, laughter, and endless companionship to her forever family. Interested? Apply to adopt Birdie, today!
