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. If you think you would be a great fit for Birdie and you have already submitted an adoption application, please reach out to your Area Coordinator or email [email protected] to have your application considered for her.
