sponsored by Anna Matthews, in memory of my little girl Molly that we lost on Thanksgiving. She was the most precious girl.

Please meet the sweetest little Pekingese around – Bridget!  She has the cutest underbite that will just melt your heart…as will her whole personality!  Bridget is 6 years old and spent her life being bred in a puppy mill.  Thankfully, she was rescued from that life and is now learning that the world is also full of goodness and love.

Bridget will need a calm home who can offer ongoing patience, kindness, and gentle guidance.  In her current foster home, she was initially terrified to be approached and would run to a certain spot in the garden outside where she sat trembling.  With the help of the other resident dogs, it didn’t take her long to learn that she didn’t have to be so afraid, and now she enjoys running around the yard, and coming inside all by herself, willingly.  She is still skittish and prefers to come to her person, rather than be approached, but still responds much better when approached compared to when she initially arrived.

Bridget is a very quiet girl, until it’s time to eat!  She gets so excited, as do her foster siblings, so she joins in with speaking up and telling her foster mom to hurry up with preparing her food!

It has been a joy to watch Bridget teach herself all about the joys of squeaky toys.  She just loves to chew and squeak, and it is the cutest thing to watch her do.

She doesn’t tend to join her foster mom on the couch when it’s time to relax, but she will join the other dogs there when foster mom isn’t around.  However, when she is picked up and placed with foster mom, she is an absolute doll and enjoys being pet and even patiently endures having her long, beautiful locks combed out.

Bridget is extremely new to walks, so will need ongoing practice and encouragement with this.  She has been very brave thus far, and accepts the gently nudges from foster mom to reassure her that she is safe.  She can get easily frightened with various noises or even upon encountering another dog while on a walk.  Double-leashed walking is currently recommended, as she is considered a flight risk due to her fear.

Bridget is mostly housetrained, though not 100% and does still have accidents.  She sleeps in bed with foster mom and the other dogs at night without any issues.

Overall, Bridget has blossomed in only a very short period of time, and she will no doubt continue to flourish once she finds her special home.  She is sweet, quiet (except when anticipating food!), funny, happy, and a joy to be around.  Are you the special home that she’s looking for?
