My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If you are looking for a sweet girl who is as loving on the inside as she is beautiful on the outside, STOP right here, your search is over. Byrdie has not had it easy, she suffered severe abuse. Her spinal cord is severed from trauma, but she has not let that dampen her loving spirit. She loves for you to talk to her and to play with you. She is energetic and loves to go outside and run in her harness and wheelchair. Yes, she is young, and will have some special needs the rest of her life, but she will give you so much love and loyalty in return. She would do well in a home with other dogs or alone. She loves having her head and neck scratched, any attention at all, loves to always be able to see her people and be near them, very food motivated and very responsive when you talk to her and praise her. Byrdie is a special needs dog because she needs help emptying her bladder. It may be a little extra work but is not hard at all. She will reward you by living life to her fullest, full happiness, playing and snuggles.
