Bridger – 1-year-old Black Lab mix
Meet Bridger! Noted to be adorable, hilarious, and exuberant, Bridger is a young, athletic dog who loves to run, play outdoors, go for car rides and play in the water. Once he is comfortable with someone new, he loves to be close to his person. He is currently being fostered by a trainer who is working on his leash manners, impulse control, and touch sensitivity. He will do best in a home with adults who can provide him with enough exercise to channel his high energy level and patience to grow at his own pace. Could that be you?
Rocky Earl – 8-year-old Terrier mix
Rocky Earl is a sweet guy who loves to cuddle! Rocky Earl has cancer, but that doesn't stop him from living his best life! His favorite thing to do is to cuddle up next to a human after a relaxing walk. Rocky Earl is affectionate and calm and is looking for someone who is the same!
About Best Friends Animal Society
Best Friends Animal Society is a leading national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending the killing of dogs and cats in America's shelters. In addition to running lifesaving programs in partnership with more than 3,100 animal welfare groups across the country, Best Friends has lifesaving centers in New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Salt Lake City, and operates the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals. Founded in 1984, Best Friends is a pioneer in the no-kill movement and has helped reduce the number of animals killed in shelters nationwide from an estimated 17 million per year to around 625,000. That means there are still more than 1,700 dogs and cats killed every day in shelters, just because they don't have safe places to call home. We are determined to bring the country to no-kill by the year 2025. Working collaboratively with shelters, rescue groups, other organizations, and you, we will end the killing and Save Them All.
