Animal Bio

Meet Bridget -Bridget is a beautiful 7-year-old beagle with a gentle, sensitive soul. Rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation alongside dozens of other beagles, she's spent the past several months discovering that the world can be a safe, happy place. Her foster family has surrounded her with patience, compassion and unconditional love, and Bridget has soaked up every bit of it. Bridget is a fast learner who loves being outdoors, walks, chewing on sticks, cozy naps, treats, other dogs and following a predictable routine. She's house-trained, crate-trained, good with both dogs and cats, good in the car and has already learned the foundation for "come." Although she's still learning basic commands, she naturally looks to her people for reassurance, often checking in with a glance, and responds beautifully to calm, gentle guidance. Because of her past, Bridget can be anxious in new situations and is a flight risk, so she'll need a secure, fenced yard. She thrives with consistency, structure and patient encouragement. A socially confident resident dog would be a wonderful teacher and companion, as Bridget looks to other dogs for confidence and reassurance. There is something incredibly special about Bridget. She has learned to trust, to love, and even to play with joyful abandon, a testament to how far she's come and how much happiness is still ahead of her. She isn't looking for perfection. She's looking for cozy naps, a predictable routine, and someone who will continue showing her the love she's waited her whole life to receive. Experience with shy or traumatized dogs is a plus, but what's most important is someone who understands that trust is earned, not rushed. With patience, understanding, and love, she will blossom in her own time. Watching her learn, trust, and experience joy is a truly special and rewarding experience. Bridget currently weighs about 22lbs., is approximately 7 years old (est. birth date 12/20/2018), and her adoption fee is $315. Bridget has been spayed, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped.
