Meet Lady Bird, a charming senior dog with a heart full of love. Despite her deafness, she remains spirited and joyful. Lady Bird is the epitome of a well-behaved companion, boasting traits like friendliness, independence, playfulness, intelligence, sweetness, and gentleness. She is a smart lady that is house trained, crate trained, and walks great on the leash. Lady Bird is a pleasant co-exister with other dogs; she prefers dogs stay out of her personal space and not try to engage her in play, and would prefer not to live with puppies or playful dogs. She still has some spunk and can be playful - she just prefers to interact with toys and humans! Due to her mostly deafness, she can also be startled easily, so a low-key household with predictable movements/noises would be best for her. She enjoys her playtime as much as her quiet moments and is adept at communicating her needs and wants in her unique way. Adopting Lady Bird means welcoming a treasure trove of love and loyalty into your home, ready to enrich your life with her serene and joyful spirit. Lady Bird’s story: Lady Bird and her buddy, Paul (coming to SOS soon) has quite the story! They were in a house fire in Wagoner, Oklahoma. There were five dogs that escaped the fire. The oldest daughter of the homeowners surrendered the animals to rescues. Paul had burns on the back of his body and Lady Bird had smoke inhalation. They are in separate foster homes and thriving - they are now healthy and ready to find new forever homes - either together or apart. Medical Note: Lady Bird is mostly deaf; she can hear shrill very loud noises but can't hear the dogs around her. Due to this, she can be startled, so making visual contact before touching her is recommended to help promote a sense of trust and safety (she has never show aggression towards people - this is just a good rule of thumb with deaf dogs). An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.
