JENNY
AGE: Approximately 8 years old
BREED: Lab/Hound Mix
SEX: F
BACKGROUND: Jenny was a stray found in Bladen County, and now is settling in well with her foster and her foster fur siblings. She is pure sweetness and longs for a family to love.
NEEDS: She is very sweet and, with a good introduction, does well with other pups. She does need a fenced yard as she likes to explore (that's the hound in her!). This sweet girl needs to find her forever family.
HEALTH ISSUES: Jenny recently had surgery for a mass on her mammaries and, luckily, all came back non-cancerous. She still needs some dental work, which Freedom Bridge will remain responsible for until completed. She has recently been spayed, microchipped, is up-to-date on core vaccines, and is heartworm negative — Yaaaay!!!
CASH
AGE: Approximately 1 to 2 years old
BREED: Mixed Breed
SEX: M
BACKGROUND: Cash is an owner surrender and was starved. He looks better now but it's an awful case. He seems submissive. Luckily, Cash is gaining weight. He has medium energy and seems to know commands. He's a sweet guy who loves to play!
NEEDS: Cash does well with other dogs. He needs a family to give him all the love he has missed while being on his own.
HEALTH ISSUES: Cash is neutered, heartworm negative, and underweight.
Little Minion was found with major trauma and was given surgery to help heal her imploded eye and fractured jaw.
The first photo is pre-surgery. The close-up shows Minion post surgery. The third photo shows the little one recovering in her foster home with foster siblings.
MINION
AGE: Approximately 5 to 8 years old
BREED: Terrier Mix
SEX: F
BACKGROUND: Minion was found as a stray in Bladen County with a fractured jaw and imploded right eye from blunt force trauma.
NEEDS: She is a sweet little girl who loves to play with other pups (so another pup in the house is important). She loves to cuddle and doesn't seem to be slowed down with missing an eye :)
HEALTH ISSUES: Due to her physical trauma, Minion was only able to open her mouth less than a quarter inch when found. Her foster has shared that she is able to open a bit more and now can eat wet food vs gruel. She also had surgery to remove her injured eye, and is recovering well.
She's up-to-date on vaccines and is heartworm negative. Due to her condition, Minion has not been chipped yet. We believe she has been spayed, however, will have our vet confirm. She does have a slight heart murmur with unknown origin currently, but it doesn't appear to be causing any issues for her. We will be taking her back again to the vet for further evaluation.
COMING SOON!
OLIVER
AGE: Approximately 10 weeks old
BREED: Mix Breed
SEX: M
BACKGROUND: We just got this sweet puppy as a medical. He has a radial/ulnar fracture on his right front leg. Poor little guy was wondering around hobbling in Bladen County. He cannot bear weight on that leg currently. However, you wouldn't know he has a broken arm if you saw him.
NEEDS: Little Oliver is your normal, happy puppy. He loves his Heartbeat Bear (cuddling in the photo above) that helps him think he's with his Mama. He is such a sweet boy and most likely will be medium-sized once fully mature.
HEALTH ISSUES: Oliver has received one round of vaccines and is eating and drinking like a champ. He's currently wearing a splinter with the thought, per our vet, that this may heal without surgical intervention. He is being crate-rested and on pain medication. Keep your paws crossed that Oliver heals without the need for surgery... poor little guy!
COMING SOON!
QUENTIN (Q for short)
AGE: Approximately 2 years old
BREED: Bulldog/Bully Mix
SEX: M
BACKGROUND: Found as a stray and not very large (about 50 lbs), Q is a super sweet, shy guy. He does well with other pups and loves his foster fur sister. He is doing wonderfully in his foster home.
NEEDS: Q would be fine as an only or with another female pup. He would do well with a fenced yard for running.
HEALTH ISSUES: He is HW positive and, after getting neutered, is starting heart worm treatment. Freedom Bridge will remain responsible for his treatment until completion.
MAMA SURI
AGE: Approximately 1 to 1.5 years old
BREED: Lab Mix
SEX: F
BACKGROUND: Very scared mama. 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: When Mama Suri has finished nursing her babies, she will need a loving home to show her a safe life that's not on the streets.
HEALTH ISSUES: TBD
Gravy is in a foster-to-adopt home!
Little Scout is in a foster-to-adopt home!
Inky is in a foster-to-adopt home!
These sweet little sibling puppies are approximately 5 weeks old. They are mixed with super cute markings. One is most likely going to be a brindle! They are finishing time with their precious mama.
