About Bird

Bird starts her day with energy, enjoying a spirited game of fetch or a hike, followed by time outdoors with her canine friend. This intelligent and affectionate girl transitions smoothly into a calm mood afterward, allowing for quiet time and restful nights. If Bird takes a liking to you, be ready for one of her signature hugs. At just over one year old and weighing around 50 pounds, Bird is a Lab/Collie mix needing a quieter setting—city apartments won't suit her well. She thrives in the company of other dogs and would benefit from a friendly, active resident dog. This adaptable girl is also tolerant of cats. Bird can comfortably stay home for about three to four hours, especially after some morning activity. An additional dog could help her gradually extend that time. She is well house trained. Bird requires an experienced and patient adopter who understands that unfamiliar situations or people may trigger defensive behavior. A peaceful home with ample space to move around, thoughtful introductions to visitors, and a structured routine will help her flourish. For those seeking an adventure buddy who loves being outdoors and enjoys canine companionship, Bird is definitely worth getting to know. Available for transport to the Vernon, CT area, Bird can be adopted throughout Connecticut and nearby regions. Arrangements for pickup will be made at adoption. What are you waiting for?
