Bridget

Bridget is an adoptable female Pit Bull Terrier looking for a home at Philadelphia Animal Care and Control in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is fully grown and medium in size. She is currently on the shelter's euthanasia list with only 4 days left, listed due to lack of space. Adopting Bridget, or even sharing her story, could save a life before it's too late.

Bridget ACCT-A-263438 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Bridget must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER, FOSTER, or ADOPTER by WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH at 10AM. Should Bridget's medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change. Bridget is a sweet, playful girl who has been making friends at ACCT Philly since arriving as a stray on September 30th. She loves getting outside to explore, carrying around her favorite stuffed toys, and soaking up attention from her people. She is affectionate and enjoys cuddling, often making her way right into your lap for pets. Bridget knows sit, takes treats nicely, and has shown herself to be easy to leash and handle. She has a fun, bouncy side and can bring plenty of energy to playtime, but she also enjoys slowing down for some extra cuddles. Bridget has participated in several playgroups, where she has shown interest in mingling with other dogs as well as spending time exploring and doing her own thing. She would love a home where she can enjoy her favorite toys, get plenty of affection, and continue being her adorable, playful self. Due to her length of stay, Bridget is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner, foster, or adopter.
