About Bird

Bird loves her mornings, often kicking off the day with a robust game of fetch or a refreshing hike. Following these energetic outings, this affectionate girl can effortlessly transition to a cozy day indoors. Once she’s had her fill of activity, you might even find her offering one of her famous hugs to those she adores. At just over a year old and weighing about 50 pounds, Bird is a lively Lab/Collie mix looking for a home beyond the confines of a city apartment. She thrives in a more spacious and serene environment, where her confidence can flourish alongside a friendly, active resident dog. Bird also coexists well with cats. She can manage alone for three to four hours, particularly if she’s had her morning exercise, and another dog may help extend that timeframe. Bird is well house trained. Her ideal adopter is someone experienced and patient, as she can exhibit defensive behavior towards unfamiliar people or confinement. A calm household with space to play, thoughtful introductions to visitors, and a consistent routine will provide the structure she needs. If you're seeking a dog who craves outdoor adventures and companionship, Bird is well worth considering. Bird is transportable to the Vernon, CT area, making it easier for adopters across Connecticut and nearby regions. Final arrangements for pickup happen at adoption.
