History and a Note from the Foster: Meet Miss Birdie Lou! This sweet lady was recently welcomed to into rescue, and she is so happy to be here. Birdie is an incredible social butterfly who loves to be the center of attention. She is quick to ask for pets and scratches and has settled into my home so quickly!
She has no interest in my cats and is friendly but respectful with my large resident dog. She is a little overwhelming for my other foster who is her size, but quite timid. I think she would have no trouble fitting with other outgoing and energetic dogs. She is friendly with all people and can't wait to meet you!
She is learning about using potty pads and going outside, but these are new skills for her, and she will need some time to learn the ropes. She's motivated by food and positive attention so don't let that scare you.
When she arrived, she had terrible teeth and an eye issue that could not be managed medically. Now that she had some much-needed dental care and the eye is gone, she's feeling great and is eager to start her new life with you!
Adoption Fee: $500 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
