Birdy

Hi, I'm Birdy! I'm just under a year old and I’m a silly, floppy puppy that is full of energy! I was found wandering along Rampart street by my foster parents and after 4 weeks of bed rest for a badly infected wound on my arm, I am finally ready to see and be seen! I am very athletic! I love to run and jump and play. You’ll often see me doing the zoomies in the yard or chasing a ball. I will do almost anything for a treat. In only a short time I have learned many tricks. Sit, down, stay, shake, play dead, and roll over to name a few! I love meeting new people, walks, and even though I am still learning leash etiquette my favorite thing to do is run next to my foster mom! I am dog friendly but still don’t understand much about socializing so I would do well in a home with a patient dog that would teach me the ropes or as an only dog. I haven’t had a chance to meet a friendly cat or child, but I probably would do best in a home without. I would love to live in an active home where I can get lots of exercise and then snuggle up on the couch. I am up to date on all my shots, heartworm negative, and neutered! 10 things to know about me! 1. Name: Birdy 2. Age: 1 year 3. Weight: 60lbs 4. Sex: Male 5. Breed: Pit Mix 6. Spayed/Neutered: Yes 7.

The information needed to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. An inquiry, question, or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application. All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info would be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the number of introductions/questions received (hundreds daily) we ask you submit an application on our website (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention. Please see our website for more information. 2022 Adoption Fee Scale for non-benefactor animals: Puppies under 12 months - $350 Dogs over 12 months - $250 *Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters in Southeast Louisiana, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures.
