Birdie - Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Galveston, Texas

Meet Birdie! If you're looking for a jogging partner, hiking buddy, fetch enthusiast, or future agility superstar, Birdie would like to submit her application immediately. This energetic Lab mix has been on the move since day one-literally. Birdie was born right here at the shelter 5 years ago and was adopted as a puppy. She is now seeking a new home after her family downsized and could no longer provide the active lifestyle she thrives on.
Athletic, intelligent, and always eager for action, Birdie absolutely loves to run and play. Her favorite thing in the world? A tennis ball. Throw it once, and you'll have a friend for life. She can chase, retrieve, and repeat with enthusiasm that seems almost limitless. Watching her sprint across a yard in pursuit of her ball is like watching an athlete in her element - and this girl's got the "ups" to prove it! Seriously, she could rival Michael Jordan's air time!
After spending most of her life with a family, Birdie is hoping to find another active household where she'll be more than just a pet-she'll be a teammate. Whether you're looking for a trail companion, a fetch partner, or a dog to grow with, Birdie is ready to give it her all. She's already waiting at the starting line. All she needs now is someone to say, "Go!"
