Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Birdie! 🌟 This delightful young lady is a 2-year-old female shepherd/boxer mix who is bursting with potential and love! With her sweet, people-oriented temperament, she’s ready to find a home that resonates with her vibrancy. Birdie is not just your typical dog—oh no! She’s an incredible blend of affection and energy! 💖 Once she feels comfortable, she bonds quickly to calm and consistent adults, and trust me, she wants to engage and please her handler like nobody’s business! Now, let's talk about energy because Birdie is high-energy! 🏃‍♀️ This girl requires regular, purposeful exercise and mental stimulation. She plays enthusiastically and, yes, she might be a bit rough around the edges during play, but that’s because she’s living her best life and needs continued training and structure to refine that wild side! Birdie is sweet and has shown no signs of aggression toward anyone—even the little ones—although she is still working on that body control. So, a home with older, dog-savvy children will be the ideal fit for this playful princess! 👧👦 With supervision and training, she could thrive in a loving family that understands the joys and quirks of an active dog. Birdie has made phenomenal strides with crate training! 🏡 It’s her cozy retreat where she can settle and relax. She’s currently learning place work and basic obedience, proving to be a quick learner when she's comfortable and understands what's expected of her! Calm, patient guidance helps her shine and blossom in the best way possible. And you know what? Birdie doesn’t show any signs of destruction or anxiety when it comes to chewing—phew! 🙌 She enjoys appropriate chew toys and bones to keep her entertained, and when the atmosphere is peaceful, you’ll find her relaxing smoothly indoors with her favorite humans. While Birdie's response to cats is a bit of a mystery for now, she has had limited exposure to other dogs. A brief introduction hinted that she might be a tad reactive, but with slow and structured introductions, there's every chance she could make some furry friends! Overall, Birdie is an affectionate, high-energy dog who is eager to thrive in an active home, ideally with someone who has experience and a love for training.
