About Bird

Meet Bird! She's an energetic 11-month-old Lab/Pug mix, weighing around 30 pounds. Despite her compact size, she has a big personality and a love for adventure. Bird enjoys playing, running, and having a good time, but once she's burned off some energy, she cherishes cuddles and affection just as much. Fully potty trained, Bird also knows how to sit and would thrive in a home where she can continue her training with a loving family. She was taken in by a family who wanted to help her but ultimately had to surrender her when their landlord wouldn't allow her to stay. Now, she’s on the lookout for her forever home. Bird is a delightful mix of a purebred Lab and a neighborhood Pug. All she wants is a family to play and cuddle with, sharing her abundant love and personality. She’s ready to bring joy to someone's life—could that be you?
