Hi, my name is Birdie,
I’m a beautiful dog inside and out and have the most gorgeous coat color of reddish-brown.
I would do best in a home with older children as I love to play with kids, but sometimes I forget how big and strong I am. I’m very smart and love to hear that I’m a good girl. I’m house trained and have been taught to ring the bell when I need to go outside. I'm young and eager to learn and please and am very food motivated making it easier to train me in new things. I sleep in my kennel at night and am crated when we leave the house. I'm happy to play outside or go for a walk, then spend the rest of the day snoozing.
I get super excited and can jump up when greeting you after not seeing you in a few hours but listen well to the command "down" when corrected.
On a leash I will pull but I am good after a little bit and will settle on the walk. I have stranger danger and will get nervous walking past bigger groups of people on walks or new people coming into my home. I will need help to work on my confidence and learn that not all people are going to hurt me. I do good in the car and am a great passenger and travel companion
I take a bit to warm up to new people and animals so slow introductions are best. I do have separation issues and will cry when apart from my humans so a detached home is a must. I will bark at the doorbell when I feel uncomfortable around new people. I'm hoping to find a foster home who can guide and help me navigate my challenges with being comfortable with new people and my separation anxiety. I’m hoping that it can be with you!
