Oh, hello you! Bridgett here.
I'm a lap specialist with excellent hair and even better manners (mostly).
They wrote that I love to play. Understatement. I'd hike, fetch, and nap with you, in that order.
I won't fib — there's a little grey on my muzzle. "Older" just means I'm past the wild puppy chaos and all in on cozy company.
I'm a Pataskala local, just waiting on the right person.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
Who knows — by Thanksgiving I might be napping on somebody's couch. I'd love it to be near you, one way or another.
Either way, thank you for seeing me today. That part mattered more than you know. — Bridgett

About Bridgett
Meet Bridgett! Bridgett is a sweet, gentle girl with a quiet nature and an easygoing personality. A resilient puppy mill survivor, she is still learning what it means to be a beloved pet, but she is making steady progress and enjoys being part of the daily activity around her. Bridgett was born with a smaller right eye and is visually impaired on that side, but it does not slow her down! She navigates her surroundings comfortably and enjoys keeping up with the activity around her. Bridgett receives inexpensive daily eye drops as part of her regular routine, takes them very well, and loves being held for her care. This independent little lady has a low-to-moderate energy level and is happy to observe the action around her. She enjoys toys—especially taking them out of the toy box—and has a charming curiosity about everyday things. Bridgett is also very food-motivated, which can be helpful as she continues to learn routines and build confidence. Bridgett gets along well with other dogs and has no aggressive or dominant tendencies. She could do well as an only dog or with a calm canine companion. She is quiet overall, though she may bark occasionally. Bridgett does well with her house-training when kept on a consistent schedule for outdoor potty breaks. She is accustomed to going outside on a leash and could be a good fit for an apartment or home, provided she has regular opportunities to go out. She can manage stairs going up but is still unsure about going down them, so a home with limited stairs or a patient family willing to help her feel secure would be ideal. Bridgett recently had a dental cleaning and lost quite a few teeth, so she prefers her kibble softened with a little water or mixed with soft food. She eats well and appreciates this simple extra bit of care at mealtime. At bedtime, Bridgett enjoys the comfort of a human bed but is also fine settling on her own. She is looking for a patient, loving home that will appreciate her gentle spirit, respect her independence, and give her the time and reassurance she needs to continue blossoming. Bridgett's adoption donation is $600. She has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on monthly heartworm prevention, as well as flea prevention. She has also had a dental cleaning. If you're looking for a dog who embodies resilience, quiet courage, and unconditional love, Bridgett is ready to show you that sometimes the strongest hearts come in the smallest packages. ❤️
