Story
Birdie is a sweet, gentle puppy who is discovering the good life of having a home. When she's not catching up on her beauty sleep, you'll find Birdie happily entertaining herself with her favorite toys, lounging on the outdoor dog bed, or trying her very best to convince the resident dog that it's time to play. She's also found comfort in her kennel, which has become her safe place. She loves to stash her favorite toys there and regularly make sure they all still squeak.
New dogs can be intimidating for Birdie at first, so she benefits from slow introductions. Her initial reaction may be to cower or let out a few barks in an effort to make the "scary thing" go away, but once she realizes she's safe, she relaxes quickly and wants to play. Birdie enjoys being in the family chaos, often choosing a prime spot on the couch to observe.
Like any puppy, Birdie has bursts of playful energy, followed by cozy naps. She loves attention, whether that means playing with her people or curling up for cuddles. She's generally a calm and quiet companion. You might hear some playful or nervous barks, but she calms down with some guidance. Birdie loves people and other dogs she knows, but continued positive experiences with canine friends will help build her confidence and overcome her initial hesitation. Birdie would be happy in a home with another animal companion, but would also be perfectly happy being the only pet. Birdie is a sweet girl who is ready to give all her love.
Birdie is estimated to be 5 months old and 26 lbs. Since we dont know the dogs actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, and have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.
