According to shelter staff, Birdie is very sweet and enjoys being around other dogs, which helps build her confidence.
Adoption Information
To adopt Birdie or another pet, visit the Washington County Animal Shelter at 2859 S. Tim Helder Drive in Fayetteville, or call 479-695-3450. The shelter staff recommends that potential adopters bring any other dogs they may have to meet Birdie and fill out an application.
As the 4th of July approaches, the shelter staff also reminds dog owners to take precautions to ensure their pets’ safety during the celebrations, which can be frightening for dogs due to the loud noises and fireworks. They recommend keeping dogs inside at night and during the day, and making sure they have a microchip or some form of identification in case they get loose.
