No Want To Know More About Me? Text Bridget to 864-441-9075 for my full story and photos - we'll send everything you need to know! Here's Your Quick Peek: Bridget is a sweet, gentle little Yorkie-Poo who arrived pregnant, underweight and in desperate need of care. She has raised her babies, regained her health and discovered that she absolutely loves being someone’s cuddle bug. Now it is finally Bridget’s turn to shine! Please note - if you want to skip the text and go straight to the application, you can find the link here: www.carolinapoodlerescue.org/application/ Must have: A patient family willing to gently teach Bridget the everyday routines of being a beloved pet—and plenty of time for cuddling. Exercise:  Daily walks, playtime and a good romp with canine friends. Best with: A kind, quieter home. Another friendly dog is preferred but not required if Bridget can enjoy regular playdates with other dogs. Not ideal for: A family expecting a fully trained dog who already understands every part of home life from day one. Energy level: Moderate. Bridget enjoys playing but also has a quieter, gentler side. Bridget has never truly been a pet, so she still has some “dog things” to learn. Humans, however, she has completely figured out—once she decides she likes you, she becomes the biggest little attention hog and cuddle bug! SPECIAL MEDICAL NOTE - Bridget’s biopsy results are back, and the news is encouraging. The mass was a Grade 1 mammary gland tumor, which is considered a favorable, low-grade tumor. These tumors are generally well contained and are not particularly prone to spreading to other parts of the body. The pathologist was not able to confirm that the surgical margins were completely clear. That sounds scarier than it necessarily is—it does not mean that tumor cells were left behind or that the tumor will come back. According to our veterinarian, the Grade 1 classification is the more important piece of information and is very encouraging. For now, Bridget does not need additional treatment. We will simply monitor the area carefully with regular examinations. Her surgical site was healing beautifully at her most recent visit, and she will return for another recheck on August 26 so our veterinarian can make sure everything continues to look exactly as it should. Good with dogs: Yes. She enjoys other dogs and has never lived as an only dog. Good with kids: Not yet tested. Cats: Bridget had several feline friends in her foster home.  She has no problem with cats. Fun fact: Bridget learned to walk on a leash while raising her puppies in her caregiver’s home, and a fenced yard is not required.
