About Birdie

Birdie is a loving 7-year-old Shepherd mix, weighing around 50 lbs, searching for her forever family. Rescued from a crowded shelter in Houston, she has overcome a mild heartworm infection and is now healthy and thriving. Birdie adores children, rides well in the car, and is both crate trained and housetrained. Her ideal home will offer solid leadership; she’s eager to please and learn. Birdie loves her humans and enjoys cozy snuggle sessions. However, she came back to rescue due to issues with pulling on the leash and jumping over her short fence in search of adventure. It’s best she doesn’t share her space with small furry pets or chickens, but she gets along well with other dogs, given the right introductions. A good leash and collar will help her walk better, though she is just as content relaxing at home. Birdie is in foster care in Mead, CO. If you have a secure yard and plenty of love to give, consider adopting her. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
