About Bridger
This sweet boy is Bridger, and he is looking for a very special foster and/or forever home. Bridger is a 3-4 year old, 40lb husky mix that has been a part of the New Leash family for 2 years. He came to us from a very unique situation (along with Andes, Honey, Snowbird, etc.) and is one of the most extreme cases of undersocialization we have ever seen. Bridger has been staying with our awesome crew at Fun Fur Pets, and has spent the last 2 years learning to simply “be” a dog. Although he has made leaps and bounds, Bridger is still extremely timid around people. He would much rather hang with dogs (which prior to his arrival is all he’s ever known). And although he is timid, Bridger is more of a “cautious + run-and-hide-from-human-interaction” type pup. He has never shown any sign of aggression towards people. However, he still needs a person/family who is calm, quiet, and respectful of him, his personal space, and his needs. Bridger will also need a home with a 6ft+ fully fenced-in yard. Because of his timidness, Bridger is/will be considered a flight risk. He needs a secure space where he can learn to be himself, safely be contained, and explore to his heart’s content. He will also need other dogs (the more, the better!) in the home, as his 4-legged friends are how he observes, learns, and gains confidence. Something to note is that he does like to play pretty rough & tough with his doggie friends. He also needs a home with no children. The quieter the home, the better; Bridger is just not a social butterfly and he probably never will be. Although it has taken Bridger a long time to trust, he has made such huge strides in his abilities to coexist with humans. We are so thankful for the 2nd Chance to Shine program for providing Bridger with a safe haven as he has learned to live and trust, and we can’t wait to see him in a home where he can further flourish and grow! š
