Bridget

THIS DOG IS NOT AT THE LAWRENCE COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY. THIS IS A COURTESY LISTING FOR ANOTHER RESCUE GROUP. Bridget was pulled from an Appalachian Ohio high-kill shelter the day she would have been gassed to help make room for 50-60 dogs who were confiscated in a cruelty case. She was labeled "no name" as are a vast number of dogs impounded in Appalachia to prevent wasting a name a dog won't keep long enough to get used to a name. Bridget was just another pretty female dog discarded in Appalachia because "they keep having litters". This long legged beauty, who stands 20 inches at the shoulders and measures 22 inches from the base of her neck to the base of her tail, is fully grown. On 1/9/04, a day after her rescue, she weighed 34.4 lbs. and was estimated at 2 years of age. In between playing with the many other dogs in her foster home, she likes to socialize with two-dog friendly cats and has shown signs of being a good candidate for obedience training--such as sit and gimme your paw. Bridget has never met another dog, cat or person she did not like; but she is good about alerting her family to strangers approaching. If you have a dog-friendly cat, Bridget would be VERY happy as she likes to lie on the floor and fake wrestle a like-minded cat in her foster home, along with a lot of play barking and growling. Think of Bridget as Brains, Beauty and Bountiful love and it is the next best thing to meeting her. After testing negative for heartworms, Bridget was started on heartworm preventative, spayed and vaccinated. Please call Kim Perry at (606) 638-0512 for more information.
