Birch is a very handsome boy with lots of love to give! He has a playful spirit and loves to be around people. He loves running around outside and playing keep away with his rope toys and balls, but will bring them back to you so you play longer. He can also play fetch by himself if you're not up for playing! He has moderate energy and doesn't need a yard if he's walked 2-3 times a day .
Birch loves laying his head in your lap to show you how much he loves you. Since he likes to be close to his family, he'll f ind his way into a small space to lay at your feet. When his foster family goes to the basement, Birch lays at the top of the stairs with his head resting on the first step, patiently waiting for them to come back up, but if he does come down to check on them, he goes back up the stairs backwards!
Birch is also a smart boy that loves meal time and treats. His food motivation and ea gerness to please mean that he knows lots of tricks, learns new ones very quickly and is excellent at waiting for commands.
This good boy loves playing with other dogs and kids of all ages, making either o r both part of his ideal home. He spent the first two years of his life around an older dog and young kids and has lots of patience with them. Birch has been around a cat once a few years ago and showed no interest. He has also expressed no interest to the cats in pet stores at our adoption events, so he would do fine with dog-savvy cats with slow introductions.
His dream day involves all of his meals right on time. Don't worry, he'll remind you if you're late. After breakfast, he'd spend time running around playing with his people and pack mates. After a quick nap, he's ready for a play date with friends, but early enough so not as to interfere with dinnertime. (Birch has poultry allergies and will need to be fed a poultry-free diet.) Before going to bed, he would spend time throwing his ball around the house and chasing it.
