🌳 Meet Birch — Our Stick-Collecting Woodland Boy! 🌳
Meet Birch, one of our adorable Woodland Five: Bramble, Badger, Briar, Birch and Clover. He’s 4 months old, about 15 pounds, and already proving that life with Birch is probably never going to be boring. Birch has discovered the doggy door! Does he understand that he’s supposed to use it to go outside for potty breaks? Well…we’re still working on that part. Does he understand that it provides convenient access to the backyard so he can bring sticks into the house? Absolutely. Birch and his four siblings didn’t have the beginning they deserved. They were found locked together in a kennel that someone had left on the side of the street in the hot sun. But those difficult beginnings haven’t taken away this little guy’s spirit. Now that he’s safe with SRT, Birch is busy doing what puppies are supposed to do: playing, exploring, wrestling with his doggy friends, collecting treasures from the backyard, getting lots of love, and napping hard after all that important puppy business. He’s playful and affectionate and gets along with all the other dogs in his foster home. Birch is kennel trained and still working on house training. He has mastered the mechanics of the doggy door. The purpose of the doggy door remains open to interpretation. Birch also experienced his very first haircut today. Unlike his brother Bramble, Birch took one look at this whole grooming situation and said, “NO WAY!” After a little persuasion, however, he finally gave in, and look at the handsome boy hiding underneath all that scruff! Birch will need a family ready for all the fun that comes with raising a puppy: continued house training, playtime, patience, plenty of affection, and perhaps a designated area for his growing stick collection. If you’re looking for a loving little guy with a big personality, a playful spirit, and his own unique approach to home decorating, Birch may just be your boy.
