LEO
MEATBALL
AGE: To come
BREED: To come
SEX: M
BACKGROUND: This beautiful guy was rescued from a shelter.
NEEDS: Meatball is SUCH an amazing pup. He's just a snuggle bunny with one of our loving fosters; he's loving his humans. He gets along with other dogs, and is learning to be a good boy in the house.
HEALTH ISSUES: Meatball's labs and X-rays look good. He is heartworm positive BUT he has already started treatment and we will get him fully healthy again! Freedom Bridge remains financially responsible for his treatments until completed. He's up-to-date on core vaccines, and is neutered and microchipped.
BOONE
AGE: To come
BREED: Mix
SEX: M
BACKGROUND: Boone is yet another "Little" who was found in this big world all by himself.
NEEDS: This adorable little guy is VERY scared and won't stop shaking BUT he is doing a little better in his amazing fosters' home. Boone is such a sweet boy but soooo very nervous. He's learning that there are kind humans in this world. More to come as he comes out of his shell.
HEALTH ISSUES: Boone is chipped, up-to-date on core vaccines, and neutered. He is healthy and ready for his forever family.
MAMA SURI
AGE: Approximately 1 to 1.5 years old
BREED: Lab Mix
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.
