Little Lioness!MEET LITTLE BIRD! This cutie pahtootie is thought to be about 7 years old and weighs only 12 pounds. Originally a stray, Little Bird was brought to the terrifying shelter. After a failed adoption attempt that ended up with a minor bite to a human and a 10-day quarantine for her, LIttle Bird found herself in a loving Tara’s House foster home where she is being given the proper time to decompress, get comfortable and have her true personality come out. She is not only thriving there, she learned how to read and write – so she is going to pen the rest of her own bio. Take it from here, Little Bird! “I’m a curious girl who loves following my favorite humans around. I’m happy to stay quietly by your side, keep you company, and be part of whatever you’re doing. I enjoy exploring, going on little neighborhood adventures, and taking walks to sniff all the interesting things around me. I also have playful moments and love to run around at home once I feel comfortable. I do best in a calm environment. I’m sweet and affectionate, but I also appreciate having my boundaries respected when things feel overwhelming, so patience and a gentle approach go a long way with me. My story started on the side of a road, hiding under bushes so my early life is a mystery. I’ve already started warming up to my foster family in just a few days, from being scared and guarded to seeking affection, showing curiosity, and learning to feel safe around people. I’m still unfolding, but every day my personality shines a little more. I can be spooked by people who don’t know how to take it slow with me so a home with kids over 16 or adults would be the best fit for me. I do fine with other respectful doggies and I think I’d like to meet a nice kitty. If you’re looking for a quiet, loyal companion who will warm up to you in her own sweet time — I might just be your girl.” Little Bird’s adoption donation fee is $450, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip.
