Kestrel-A high energy girl
Are you in the market for a pup who can turn any fowl day around? Well, if it's not too much of a birden and you can sparrow minute or two, I can tell you how I am an egg-cellent candidate for you! Hi there, I'm Kestrel and I'm ready to flap my wings and fly out of the nest - er, I mean the shelter, and find my new flock. I'm a higher energy chick who could play owl day. My favorite things in life are exploring the great outdoors and getting oodles of love from my people. I really am a hoot! I'm a big fan of treats, and would love to show off my expert sit in exchange for some, and I know I can learn more (I'm certainly no bird brain). Not to make it hawk-ward, but sometimes I'm not quite on board with the idea of sharing my food, so I do think I might do best with older kids. I'm also not sure how I feel about other dogs so I think I'd much prefer to be the only dog in the home for now, but I'll be sure to quack you up so much that you won't notice the difference. Have I beaked your interest? If so, I must say you have im-peck-able taste! So, shake your tail feather and come on down to the shelter to meet me today. After all, they do say the early bird gets the worm. I promise after you meet me, I'll have you raven about me to all your friends.
