(Find information on how to submit your own pet's profile at the bottom of this profile. Read more about this new series on Dal News.)

Name: Birdie. This name was already on my shortlist when I rescued her. Once I saw her “wings” [ears] in action, all the other names fell away.

Nickname: Skunk. Sometimes I ask her if she is a dog or a skunk in a dog suit. She can be quite the little sneak.

Species/breed: Heeler/Jack Russell mix. Essentially, she has a Jack Russell head on a very small Heeler body.

Age: Approximately three years old, I think?

Fave food: Peanut butter on everything. Also fond of cheese and licking the insides of discarded coffee cups on the ground.

Special tricks: Her over 5ft vertical jump!!

Best quality: Her incredible trust of all people. She has never met a stranger.

Social media platform or handle, if available: Birdie is far too busy to engage with social media as she is an integral member of the canine neighbourhood watch in the North End.
