Birch’s Story

Life started off kind of scary. My sisters, brothers and I were born under a trailer in the woods. Some nice people found us and took us in. We barely had our eyes open and had to be bottled to help us grow big and strong. We went to a nice lady’s house.  We call her Foster mom and she has been taking good care of us since. 

Let me tell you about myself.  My name is Birch.  I am about 7 weeks old.  I am a shy girl.   It takes me a little bit to warm up to new people, but I love them once I’m comfortable.  I would love a family that can teach me tricks.  I’m super smart foster mom says.  I’m working really hard on potty training, foster mom says that’s what big kids do and I’m doing great at it, but I still have to keep working at it.   After all I’m only 7 weeks old.  I’m also learning how to sit.  I love living at foster moms’ house, but she said I need my own home so she can help other puppies grow big and find their homes.   This man called a vet told my foster mom he thinks I am a boxer heeler mix.  I have no clue what that means, but foster mom says I’m adorable.  I might grow up to be about 50 lbs. or so.  If you would like to be my new family, just let me foster mom know.  Thanks for reading my story. 

Hope to meet you soon, Love Birch
