You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Say hello to our hopeful little Miss Birdee Pruitt. This pretty baby landed on the euthanasia list, together with her two siblings, at the shelter in Bastrop TX. (Her name comes from the Sandra Bullock character in "Hope Floats," which was filmed in and around Bastrop.) Thankfully, when we made a post about these pups, our friends Molly and Chris stepped up to pull them to safety and foster them. Our best guess is that Birdee is most likely Anatolian Shepherd mix, but the set of her ears tells us that there may be a non-LGD breed somewhere in her family tree. She has an estimated birthday of 2/4/2024, and since she and her siblings were surrendered to the shelter by their previous family, we think that should be very close to their actual birthday. Birdee weighed about 30 lbs when she got her rabies vaccination at 4 months old, and weighed 63 lbs at 7 months, so it's reasonable to guess that she could grow up to be 85 lbs or so as a young adult. In her first foster home, Birdee was exposed to chickens and sheep, but only in very limited and supervised situations. Since moving to Windsong Ranch, Birdee has split her time pretty evenly between playing with her siblings and staying in the pasture with our Nigerian Dwarf goats. We really don't think she wants to be a working livestock guardian dog, but we think she would make a great addition to a small homestead where she could be a family pet who is not likely to harm the livestock. Birdee LOVES the water and will splash in a kiddy pool or water tub or creek or pond or any other water you put in front of her. Birdee is vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped, so she is ready to find her forever home. If you would like to consider making her part of your family, please complete the online application. PLEASE NOTE: Birdee was on a tie-out ONLY FOR THE PURPOSES OF THESE PHOTOS. It can be really tough to get photos of a puppy who wants to run and play and explore everything. The tie-out limits her movements and makes it easier to use both hands on the phone/camera. Once the photo session was done, Birdee was returned to the puppy play yard.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 28, 2024, 12:12 pm
