Terrier mix, professional goofball, and proud owner of the longest, slimmest legs you’ve ever seen on a dog. Honestly, sometimes we forget he’s a dog—he looks more like an oversized, very confused flamingo on a mission. If he stands still for too long, you might catch yourself whispering, “Is that… a bird?”
Deacon is sweet, funny, and endlessly charming. He has a way of tripping over nothing, zooming across the room like he’s training for the Terrier Olympics, and then giving you the most apologetic “oops” face that melts your heart. He’s goofy in every way possible, but somehow, every clumsy move he makes is adorable.
He loves people, snacks, and basically any excuse to run in zigzags, do random spins, or show off his long-legged skills. Visitors beware: his legs are faster than they look, and his excitement is contagious. If you need daily laughter, constant smiles, and a dog who reminds you that life doesn’t always have to be serious—Deacon is your guy.
Bonus: He comes with built-in entertainment. Just watching him walk, run, or attempt a zoomie is like seeing a tiny, furry, awkward superhero in action. And yes, you are allowed—and encouraged—to call him “The Bird Dog.”
Dogs: Unknown, we rec. a dog to dog!
Cats: Unknown
Kids: Unknown, we recommend bringing everyone in the home in to meet me!!
