Meet Birdie, a sweet and silly 2½-year-old Pug with a happy-go-lucky personality. She loves playing fetch and being a devoted shadow to her humans, doing well with dogs (though timid with pushy ones), cats, and kids. Birdie is friendly, crate-trained, and making great progress with house training. With her low energy, a couple of daily walks and playtime are all she needs. Birdie is seeking a loving family who wants a charming, funny companion to be their loyal sidekick.
