Bridgett is an affectionate dog that just wants to love and be loved. She likes to play with other dogs, run around in the backyard, and relax next to her family. While she is not a puppy, she is open to learning new things and is very smart. She is a calm and curious dog that just likes to be part of the pack. She is food and treat motivated and does well with positive reinforcement.

Bridgett came from an abusive situation, so loud noises and sudden movements still spook her at times. She also isn’t too fond of her kennel and can be an escape artist, so a sturdy kennel is a must for her. As she’s gotten more comfortable, she doesn’t try to escape her kennel and will even go to her kennel to relax and sleep. She prefers to be where her people are and puts herself to bed in her kennel if it’s in the same room as the family!

It’s important to note that it takes Bridgett time to get used to her surroundings and new environments can be stressful for her. She has a drive (and means) to escape her kennel and can be destructive if her environment is suddenly changed. As long as she is eased into new things, she does well. She will require a companion that can devote a lot of time and energy into being available for her.

Bridgett does well with other dogs, people, and young children! She is happy to help our young children with their food and shenanigans. She forgets how big she is sometimes and can bulldoze a bit when going outside or trying to get somewhere, but there is no malice in this girl.

She is patient, sweet, and overall would make a wonderful addition to a household where she can have time to adjust and unconditional love and attention. She would be a great addition to any size family where she can settle in and become one of the pack!
