Birgitte (aka Briggs) is a scared and timid girl at heart. It took a couple days to warm up to her foster mom and then her adorable and silly personality began to show. She has a way of melting your heart with her sweet, tentative gestures of trust, like a hesitant tail wag or a gentle nuzzle. She needs a home filled with understanding, patience, and respect. She isn't the kind of dog who will have an instant connection with you. She will make you work for it as she takes a bit to trust people and gets spooked easily but once she loves you, she loves big!
Birgitte loves other dogs and finds comfort and confidence from them, so she needs another dog in the home to thrive. She enjoys walks and going to see her friends at daycare! She can be a bit ornery if she gets bored. She has some anxiety in uncertain situations or at times when she is separated from her person. She was originally adopted as a puppy and grew up with children prior to her return to our care, but due to her timidness and fear, humans who will respect a dog's boundaries would be best for her, no matter their age.

Additional adoption info
For us, the adoption process begins the day we take a dog or cat into our rescue. It’s a huge responsibility, taking in a lost soul and promising them a happy life, but we are pretty proud of the forever families we’ve helped create because our adoption process is so thorough.
The first step in adopting is to fill out the adoption application. This helps our volunteers understand what kind of new friend you are looking for, and allows us to identify any issues that would prevent us being able to place certain animals in certain homes. For example, breed restrictions in your town or apartment complex, etc…
The Beauties will conduct a vet check to make sure the pets you currently have are all up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed or neutered. We will also contact you to set up a home visit, where we can make sure that the home you have meets the needs of the animal you are interested in. Example: fence height for dogs who are jumpers, stairs for dogs who have mobility challenges, etc… We try to troubleshoot any potential problem areas and offer friendly advise so that our ultimate goal, a forever happy match, can be achieved.
After the application process is complete, the real fun begins! It’s time for Meet-N-Greets! We have a professional dog trainer on our board of directors, and we can schedule her assistance in helping you with dog-to-dog introductions while you are searching for your new family member. It’s amazing how often the existing family pet has a little something to say about who they want to spend time with and having a pro help out makes the potential for a successful intro go through the woof! We mean, roof!
Once you have decided on the dog or cat of your dreams, all that is left to do is sign the adoption contract and pay the fee, which includes all vaccinations, microchip and spay/neuter.
