Birdy (Wren)

Meet Little Bird aka Birdy! Grab your tissues because Birdy has a heck of a story. Birdy has experienced the type of neglect that you can't imagine happening to animals, she is only about a year old and lived in a too-small crate and was starved her whole life. Birdy was skin and bones when she came to me and missing quite a bit of hair from skin and ear infections. Because of her neglect she did not grow to be what her normal size should be so her breed is a true mystery (I have a DNA test pending and will update when the results are in). Her front legs are bowed, and she has duck feet and to put it bluntly; she's pretty awkward looking, but other than not being a running partner and having a funny gait, she doesn't seem to have any issues getting around. Birdy, despite her past, loves all people and enjoys being the little spoon at night, and gives the best hugs! Birdy is okay with very submissive dogs but, would not mind being an only pup. Because of her past, she has not learned how to share toys/long-lasting treats. Birdy currently lives with a 90lbs Pittie and they coexist just fine, but I separate them with toys. Birdy is crate trained, quiet in the house, sits politely for mealtimes, rides great in the car, is incredibly silly, and very food-motivated. If you are looking for a dog that hits you right in the heart every time you look at her because you know what she survived and how far she has come, then Birdy is the girl for you! Birdy has not been tested with cats, but we are willing to travel for meet and greets. Birdy currently weighs about 45ish lbs. but still needs to put weight on. Birdy enters training on Nov. 1st, so hurry for meet and greets! If approved to adopt Birdy, you will receive her weekly reports until she is ready to come home with you on Jan 10th. Birdy is spayedand UTD on all their vaccines, HW, FT, and have a microchip of their own. RPSM recommends children 6 years and older. Birdy will require a fenced in yard, either physical or underground. If you are interested in adopting Birdy, please go to www.rpsm.org to fill out an application. Birdy's adoption fee is $300.
