Birdie

Birdie is proof that the best things come in sweet, silly, ten-year-old packages.<br/>This charming Border Collie mix came to us through no fault of her own; her previous family surrendered her because she wasn't getting along with their new puppy. She's confident and affectionate once she's comfortable, though she can be a little anxious in new or busy situations, and she has so much love left to give the right family.<br/>Birdie is selective with other dogs and does best paired with an older, more mellow companion; she got along well with one of our resident dogs but will need further introductions with females. She's happiest in a home without cats. She walks fairly well on leash, is fully housebroken, and knows her name, sit, and come. She's always up for a good lounge session, plush and squeaky toys, chews, and cuddling on the couch.<br/>Cars and delivery drivers tend to stress her out, and she can clear a low fence when uncomfortable. Birdie would thrive in a quiet, semi-active home where she can feel safe and settled, ideally as the treasured only pet or alongside one calm, older dog, soaking up attention and enjoying her golden years being adored.<br/><br/>Age: 10 years<br/>Weight: 47 lbs<br/>Other Dogs: Selective; does best as an only pet or with one calm, older companion<br/>Cats: Happiest in a home without cats<br/>Kids: Not yet tested, presumed to do well<br/>Home Type: Quiet, semi-active home; secure fencing required<br/>Known Commands: Name, sit, come<br/>Leash Manners: Fairly good on leash<br/>Good to Know: Gets stressed by cars and delivery drivers. Spryer than she looks, so secure fencing is appreciated.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Birdie please fill out our online application at highsierraanimalrescue.org. Once your application has been reviewed and approved we will work with you to schedule an appointment.<br/>Please no "drop-ins" to view dogs without an appointment.<br/>All High Sierra Animal Rescue dogs are spayed or neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate shots, micro-chipped, and more!
