Birdie

Hi there... I'm Birdie 🐾🤎<br/><br/>I'm a beautiful tricolored Basset Hound girl with soulful deep brown eyes that always seem to have a story to tell. I'm 4 years old, weigh about 35 pounds, and I'm the perfect mix of sweet cuddle bug and playful adventurer. 💕 Life wasn't always easy for me. When I was just a puppy, I was abandoned and left starving, so food is something I take very seriously. Because of that, I do need to be fed separately from other pets to make sure everyone stays safe and happy. Once dinner time is over though, I'm right back to being everyone's best friend. 🥰 I'm highly intelligent and eager to please, which makes training me a breeze! I already know commands like "no," "sit," and my name, and I'm always excited to learn more--especially if snacks are involved. 😋 I'm fully house trained, kennel trained, and I know how to use a doggie door when I have access to one. I absolutely adore children and do wonderfully with elderly folks too. I'm a gentle, loving girl who would happily spend hours curled up beside you on the couch soaking up cuddles and affection. 🛋️🤍 But don't let these short little legs fool you--I've also got plenty of energy for zoomies in the yard, long walks, and outdoor adventures with my people!<br/><br/>I get along great with other dogs and can even do well with cats when introduced slowly and patiently. I truly just want to be loved and included in the family. 🐶🐱 I walk pretty well on a leash, though I am strong and can pull when I get excited, so I may not be the best match for someone with balance concerns. With patient and consistent training though, I continue to improve every day. And now for my most impressive talent... I can climb trees. 🌳😅 Yep. Somehow these little Basset legs still manage to surprise people! Because of that, outdoor time should always be supervised, in a covered pen, or with another secure safety plan in place. The only reason I ended up at the shelter is because my previous owner had surgery and could no longer care for me. I was deeply loved, and now I'm hoping to find another forever family to love just as much. 💖📞 Call 479-394-5682 to learn more about me. I'm ready to fill your home with cuddles, loyalty, laughter, and maybe just a tiny bit of mischief. 🐾<br/>****************<br/>All animals at HSO are current on their vaccinations and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption.
