Birdee
Anatolian Shepherd / Mixed (short coat)

​

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, 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's probably 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, so it's reasonable to guess that she could grow up to be 75-85 lbs as a young adult.

In her first foster home, Birdee was exposed to chicken and sheep, but only in very limited and supervised situations. Mostly, she and her siblings have been puppies, allowed to play with each other and with adult dogs. 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 has had all her vaccinations and will be scheduled for spay surgery as required by Texas law. 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.
