Birdie

Birdie is a sweet 3 year old female that started out as a backyard only dog and has transitioned to being a wonderful indoor companion that loves to be around her people. She's fully potty trained, crate trained up to four hours, and is now spayed. She's a low energy Golden who walks very well (and slow) on a leash. Birdie can be anxious around things with a lot of commotion - like crowds and kids. She has been working with a trainer to get her more socialized with other dogs and has made very good progress. She can still be a little unsure at first with dogs that she doesn't know and warms up slowly, so an experienced dog owner with patience will be a requirement. Through our wellness process, we discovered that Birdie has mild to moderate osteoarthritis in her hips. With the advice of her veterinarian, we've switched her food to a higher quality recipe designed to keep her at a lean weight and topped by a liquid joint supplement. Birdie also takes a daily fish oil supplement. Birdie is going to do best as the only dog in a kid-free, calm environment with adults that are mostly home. An active retired person or couple would be perfect for her as she is truly a companion dog. Cats are a definite no as she likes to chase them. She enjoys the outdoors and loves her weekly trips splashing in the river. Birdie is being fostered in Sacramento.
