Hey, I’m Birch! I’m a 3-year-old purebred Westie and I weigh about 20 pounds. I may be small, but oh boy do I have a big heart! I spent my early life in a puppy mill, so a lot of things are still new to me—but I’m discovering the world with curiosity and joy. Playing outside is a recent (and very exciting!) development, and snow might be my favorite thing ever. I love trotting around and learning how fun life can be. I’m a gentle, sweet soul who does wonderfully with other dogs and with kids of all ages. I really shine when I’m close to my people and snuggling is one of my specialties, especially if you scratch under my chin. I’m also starting to learn the magic of toys—squeaky stuffed ones are at the top of my list—and I can’t wait to master fetch. I’m crate trained and adjusting beautifully to home life. And yes, I know my haircut is a little silly right now— but once my coat grows in I’ll look like the Westies you’re used to seeing (maybe even cuter)! What I want most is a safe, loving family where I can keep learning, playing, and being someone’s very good boy.
