Meet Bridget, a lovely little collie mix from Missouri. This timid girl takes a little bit of time to warm up, but once she does you will see her wonderful personality blossom. Her favorite pastimes include wrestling with her foster siblings, giving kisses, and chewing on sticks. Bridget is a sweetheart who loves hopping up on the couch for cuddles and will be your best friend once you’ve earned her trust.

This little lass is 99% potty trained and has only had one accident in her new foster mom’s house! She is an excellent houseguest who does not chew on household items and does not jump on counters. Bridget is very eager to please and readily goes into her kennel to sleep peacefully until you are ready to let her out. She knows the commands for Kennel and Come, and is working on mastering her other basics. She gets along great with other dogs and gets very excited to meet other pups. An inquisitive and observant dog, Bridget enjoys going for walks to see the world around her and is working on her leash manners.

Bridget will do best in a home that understands she is shy and needs to be given time to adjust to her new surroundings and new people. She is still learning that not all humans are scary and will take a few days to get comfortable with her new family. Your patience will be rewarded in no time with a sweet and spunky dog who wants to shower you with love.

She would likely do well around dog-savvy kids who understand her initial need for space and don’t make sudden advances while she’s still in her getting-to-know-you stage. She has lived with cats and did pretty well with them, but they didn’t always love her back because she thought she could play with and chase them like her doggie friends.
