Story
Birdie is an older gentlelady, approximately 8ish years old. This girl is the sweetest little soul. She is good with male dogs, but she can be the dominant female. She would be alright with other females, but the other female must be submissive. Bird is barrier reactive, so although she is very sweet with those she knows, she can be a little intimidating at a fence. She would make a great watch dog but only if treated with love. Bird must be allowed to live inside with her person/family because she is very loyal and affectionate.

Pierce City, MO
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Marco is 2 years old and weighs between 25-30 pounds. He is UTD on vaccines. He has a generally sunny disposition. He wears clothes and likes them! He LOVES men. He likes to cuddle on the couch. He likes to sleep with people-but is ok in his crate overnight. He tolerates his bath with no issues. He does not do well at the groomers and must be muzzled to do his nails. He has all four dew claws. He came to live with me because he lost his people; an elderly couple and their elderly small dog. Marco doesn't do well on his own. I don't have the time to spend with him. He is young, and sweet, and needs a forever home.
