Bridgette - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Syracuse, New York

Welcome to this beautiful young 4 year old Red-tri Aussie came to our rescue from a puppy mill at the end of May. She was scared, afraid of human touch, raised voiced or loud noise. She would tremble at the lightest touch. After a few weeks of decompressing she slowly started coming out of her shell allowing her sweet personality to show. Today she seeks out pets and head scratches and greets us with her little Aussie wiggle butt. She shares her home with 3 other dogs interacting with them without any issues.

Bridgette will not tolerate a crate and has free run of our home with no issues. She will tolerate a leash walk her as long as there is no tension but does not handle street noise, quiet walks in a park type setting would be best. Loves Loves Loves to be near you but not on you. Best way I can describe her is she is a gentle soul. She is mastering potty training. The ideal home would be no young children since they would make her nervous with quick movements and loud noises. She has not mastered the art of jumping up into a car so she needs a slight boost to get in, she isn't a big fan of car rides. If you would like to have Bridgette join your family , please fill out an adoption application. Her $475 adoption fee covers medical care up to adoption to include vaccines, spay, microchip, foster care and transportation from Ohio to NY.
