About Bridgette

Bridgette is a lovely 4-year-old Red Tri Australian Shepherd who escaped from a puppy mill to find her forever home. Initially, she was timid and fearful of human interaction, trembling at even the lightest touch. After a period of adjustment, Bridgette has blossomed into a sweet companion who now craves affection, demonstrating her playful spirit with a delightful wiggle. She thrives in the company of other dogs, showing no issues while interacting with them. Bridgette prefers a calm environment, as she can be nervous around loud noises and quick movements. While she has not fully embraced leash walking because of her sensitivity to street sounds, she enjoys quiet strolls in the park. Car rides require a bit of assistance to boost her into the vehicle. She's making great progress with potty training and is already house trained. The perfect home for Bridgette would be one without young children, as their liveliness might overwhelm her gentle nature. If you’re looking for a loving companion who takes her time to build trust, consider adopting Bridgette. Her $475 adoption fee includes vaccines, spaying, microchipping, and transportation from Ohio to NY. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
