Hi, I’m Byrdie!

I’m Byrdie, a 2-year-old brindle Staffy/Boxer mix, and I have a very important announcement to make: **I am a lover, NOT a fighter!**

I’m a gorgeous girl with a beautiful brindle coat, but my favorite thing about myself is my heart. I’m super sweet, silly, and absolutely love my people. I can be a little shy when we first meet, but give me a minute and I’ll warm right up. Once I decide you’re my friend, prepare yourself for lots of love!

I also really like other dogs and am great with my canine friends. I’m even good with horses, which is pretty impressive if I do say so myself!

Now, let’s talk about my hobbies. **I LOVE THE WATER!** And I REALLY, REALLY LOVE CAR RIDES! Seriously, if you say the words “go for a ride,” I will be ready before you are. I’m pretty sure every car ride is an adventure waiting to happen.

My rescue friends found me in the middle of a highway late one night, right in front of the rescue’s gate. I have no idea how I got there or where I came from, but apparently I knew exactly where I needed to be.

Now I’m hoping my next stop is **my forever home**.

I’m looking for someone who wants a sweet, silly, affectionate girl to join them for adventures, car rides, water fun, and plenty of loving. I promise to be your best friend and make you laugh every single day.

**I’m Byrdie—and I’m ready to fly straight into your heart.**
