About Birgit

Birgit is a real sweetheart who has transformed into a precious cuddlebug thanks to the care she received in her foster home. Her favorite spot is right beside her people, and she aspires to be your devoted little shadow. This tiny lady gets along well with other small dogs and loves snuggling up with both adults and older, respectful children. She sleeps soundly through the night in her crate and enjoys snuggling under a cozy blanket or in a soft dog bed. With a reliable routine, her house manners are impeccable. While Birgit may not be keen on toys or chews, she loves soft treats and already knows how to sit. Although her leash skills are still a work in progress, she thrives in a fenced yard. Birgit's calm demeanor makes her a delight at home and during car rides. She does have some ongoing skin and allergy needs and benefits from a poultry-free diet. Adopters should be ready to coordinate with a veterinarian to keep her feeling her best. In return for a little extra care, she offers immense sweetness and companionship. Birgit dreams of a loving home where she can curl up next to you and soak up affection, making every moment together a joyful one. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
