MAMA SURI

SEX: F
BACKGROUND: Suri was a very scared mama, handling life on her own. She was found by the graveyard with her puppy Scout. Animal Control was able to first get Scout. They found 3 other puppies that had passed. One of their attempts to catch Mama ended up catching another pup, Inky. And, FINALLY, Mama and one remaining pup, Gravy, got into a Good Samaritan's car who stopped for them. Because Mama wanted to meet the pup the Good Samaritan had with her, she was able to get them and notify Animal Control. We took them under rescue. Mama and 3 puppies are now safe.
NEEDS: Suri finished nursing her babies and her little ones have found loving homes. Now Suri needs a loving home to show her a safe life that's not on the streets.
HEALTH ISSUES: She is in good health and is ready for stability, security, and love.

ADOPTION AND FOSTERING
to find forever homes
Foster a Dog
While our dogs wait to find permanent homes, they are all fostered by local families who love dogs.
As we have no permanent facilities, we are always looking for families who will temporarily care for a dog while they await their forever family.
We cover all medical expenses, and provide food, a crate, and other needed items while you foster.

We Rely on Donations!

FLOWER
Sweet Flower was found in a ditch at only 8 weeks old and brought to our emergency vet. We were called to see if we would be willing to take her under rescue. She's unable to bear weight on her back legs currently. Although her x-rays don't show a fracture, she definitely has some type of spinal compression. When we went to meet her, her eyes just said "Please give me a chance" sooooo we are!
She may or may not regain function of her back legs, but our vets and we don't know yet. She will likely need an MRI or CT scan to get a definitive diagnosis. We just couldn't say no, but we need your help!
Just like with people, MRIs and/or CT scans are expensive. Sweet Flower is not in any pain and is just a happy little gal, so as long as she wants to keep fighting, so will we. With your help, we're hoping that we can help Flower have the wonderful life she deserves. Any amount helps!

We pulled Lady, our pregnant mama, from the shelter so she could have her puppies in a quiet, safe place. Sweet Mama was close to having her little family in this picture.....
She was sooo uncomfortable!

And then she was up all night giving birth to 9 puppies!!!

We now have many fosters for these little ones.
We wanted to take a moment to send out another most grateful

THANK YOU!!!
TO THE WILMINGTON FUR BALL
for allowing us to be a 2024 recipient!!!
​
Every year, an all-volunteer (501c3) team puts on a wonderful Fur Ball.
ALL profits raised are distributed amongst selected rescue operations in New Hanover, Pender & Brunswick Counties.
​
The only way they can make this happen — to help us with our medical costs as we care for animals in need — is through the generous donations of businesses and individuals within the community.
​
We, at Freedom Bridge, are soooo very grateful for the opportunity!!!
Through the great work of your team AND all of your donors,
THE FUNDS WE RECEIVE ALLOW US
TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD
WITH OUR MISSION OF BEING
THE VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS.
Thank you, thank you!!!
We were able to afford multiple surgeries (one for a needed amputation for Little Pebbles) thanks to assistance from donors like the Wilmington Fur Ball!
Pebbles gives everyone "3 Paws Up"
from her very own forever home!!!
