Description:

Meet Birdie! This adorable little nugget was being given away on social media by her owners, who were leaving town the very next day and needed a quick solution. One of our team members saw the post and immediately stepped in to help. Birdie’s past has been unstable—she was originally rescued from a friend who kept her in their garage. After that, she spent the past year living in a long-haul truck and the last four months in a motel. With a new baby on the way and a big move to Greenville, her owners decided not to take her along. While little thought went into finding a safe solution for her, we’re grateful we were able to get her to safety Now in foster care, Birdie is thriving! She shares her home with a senior pup and a few kitties. While the senior dog isn’t too interested in her, she’s made friends with the cats and enjoys trying to play with them. She’s been a wonderful house guest—fully house-trained, content being crated or in a gated area when left alone, and a sound sleeper through the night. She has no destructive tendencies and settles in easily. The biggest challenge so far has been her diet—she seems to prefer human food, especially eggs and kosher hotdogs! We suspect this was her primary diet before rescue, so transitioning her to a more well-balanced diet is a work in progress. Birdie has a delightful personality—sweet, social, and moderately energetic. She enjoys backyard time, watching birds and squirrels, playing fetch, and zooming around the yard. She would likely do best in a home with another small, playful pup to match her fun-loving spirit. Her foster mom will be working on leash training this week to see how she does on walks. Birdie is ready to find a forever home where she can finally have the stability, love, and care she deserves. Could that be with you? She will be coming to town in late April. Apply today!
