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.

Even More Forever Families!
Yay!!! Sweet Finnegan, now Kodak, has found his forever family!
Wishing you the happiest life, little one!
A woman saw a sad-looking picture of a beagle on Bladen County Shelter FB page. When she called about him, he was still on a stray hold and couldn't be adopted. Our rescue saw the same dog when we were there pulling another. When his hold was up, we pulled him.
The woman who reached out initially called the shelter again, only to learn that Oliver had been pulled by Freedom Bridge! A few days later, we got an email from this woman asking if we had Oliver.
Oliver, now Charlie, has since been adopted by the woman who never gave up trying to find him.
This match was definitely meant to happen.
Happy tails, Charlie!
Sweet Cara, now Maya, an owner surrender, has found her perfect match with Lindsay Buffkin!!
She is the greeter for her clients
and is surrounded by love.
Thank you Alexandra Lysik for helping her
become her best self!!!
Sunshine, now Billie Jean, has gone from rags to riches!!! From being shot with a pellet gun so she and her sibling would run (dumped) to living the life of the queen she so deserves!!!
Our fabulous foster, Dawn Faughnan Marshburn and her husband Kenny (and of course, Abbie, the Mama to all rescues) helped her learn that there are good humans in this world.
Then came her adopter Jeff Wright who stood by her as she adjusted through her separation anxiety. They were meant to be together!!! Happy tails, sweet girl!
Yay for Jackson!

Now, she is friendly to everyone and no longer scared. And she has a brother she loves. And a great mom and dad. Enjoy your happy life, sweet girl.
Cora was found in the woods underweight and missing some hair. Today she was adopted. She has great parents and loves her new brother. Enjoy your wonderful new life, sweet girl.
This is Major. He is a beautiful, full bully breed. We got called and were his last hope before being euthanized. I remember when I first met him. I looked in his eyes and you could see his kind soul. He was one of our very first rescues and I knew we were taking a big chance on him, but he had some other great folks pulling for him.
Leanne Marie Scalfaro Esteves, Leigh Anna Willard and I had to try. So, Major went to Jeff Coltenback for enrichment training and assessment. He stayed with Jeff for awhile until his Angel Ameda Handy saw him and knew immediately that they were meant to be together.
Major also had heartworms so not only had he been passed around from person to person and returned multiple times to shelters, he was also not healthy. Ameda didn't care. She knew that together we would get him healthy again. It wasn't easy and he also decided eating a couch was on the menu BUT Ameda and her husband hung in there with him.
He is soooo happy and soooo loved. He even smiles when he sleeps. Thank you to EVERYONE who made this happen for Major! THIS is rescue.
Chocolate, now Oreo, has a family of her very own. She was the longest shelter resident, at no fault of her own. She did not do well at events because she was overzealous in wanting to meet everyone. All she wanted was a family to love her. And now she has one. Lucky you, sweet girl. Enjoy your great new life.

Mattie is with her foster-to-adopt family.
Lucky family and lucky little one!!! ❤️ ❤️
She was left in a box at a gas station, in the rain, at about 3 months old. The vet said that Mattie was very anemic and would not have lived to see another day if a good Samaritan had not found her and called Freedom Bridge Animal Rescue to come save her. Now she has the happiest life
