BRIDGE 02-28-20 – is a social dog and if her new family doesn’t have furry friends for her, she could still be happy as long as her human family satisfied her dazzling social personality. Children would be a plus, she is a perfect companion for someone that works from home, or an active family that takes their dog to games or jogs. Children would be a plus for Bria, she is a perfect companion for someone that works from home, or an active family that takes their dog to games or jogs.

Bria and her pups were dumped in a desolate spot and it was a true miracle that they were found. Can you imagine how scared she was and then to have little ones that she had to protect, but also feed. A kind woman found them and could not walk away. Thankfully the woman reached out for help and she brought the puppies to a RDVG foster in LA.

Bria is a female German Shepherd Mix, she is four years old, weighs 50-55 lbs., and her DOB is 08/11/15. Our foster mom tells us with much affection that she is polite, super sweet and friendly. She was an amazing mom and is full of life and happiness, very laid back and easy going—she is a marvelous companion for a family or someone that would love to have a buddy that they can take everywhere with them. Bria does great with other dogs and loves her foster mom’s granddaughters.

BRIA WILL BE DONE WITH HER HW TREATMENT
SHE CAN COME NORTH IN JANUARY

Mosquitoes carry heartworm and dogs that are not on monthly preventative, like Bria, are victims. Like children, dogs depend on us to take care of them, luckily, she was rescued and will be treated by RDVG. Bria has begun her Heartworm treatment and will be ready for her new home by the end of November or the first of December. For those that don’t understand what Heartworm is; it is basically worms in the heart. After treatment, the dog is healthy, can run and do all normal activities and will live a long and happy life.

After dogs are left on their own, they have to find food wherever they can in the wild. Unfortunately, because Bria had to fend for herself and her babies, RDVG feels it would be best if she had a home without cats! She is very content with just a couple of walks each day, loves her humans and plenty of human interaction. She is grateful when given treats and appreciates and enjoys it when she is brushed.

Rescue is more than giving a dog a home, it is a village of heartfelt dog lovers that will give their hearts and their last dollar to make sure a dog has a happy life. A home with another dog would be nice for her but not required, however, because she is a social dog and if her new family doesn’t have furry friends for her, she could still be happy as long as her human family satisfied her dazzling social personality. Children would be a plus, she is a perfect companion for someone that works from home, or an active family that takes their dog to games or jogs.

This adorable gal is looking for a loving family that will dote on her and treat her as she deserves–a lifetime cherished member. Our rescue works from our hearts for our dogs; it is the least we can do for them because they deserve nothing less. We owe it to our dogs that the wonderful people who stand to be the last chapter of their rescue and the first chapter of their new forever lives deserve her.
