About Birdie

Birdie was found alone, full of milk with no puppies in sight, suggesting she may have been abandoned. Since then, her milk has dried up and she's ready for a forever home. She's easy on the leash, enjoys meeting new people, and shows genuine sweetness as she settles in. Birdie currently shares her space with a companion named Scooby, and the two love to run and play together. She's spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and house trained. Birdie gets along with both cats and children, making her a strong fit for a family environment. Born March 15, she's a Pisces—gentle and adaptable, likely to bring warmth wherever she goes. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
