Story
Meet Bridget!
If you're looking for a puppy who will keep you laughing, keep you active, and love everyone she meets, Bridget may be your perfect match.
Bridget is a playful, curious, adventure-loving puppy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She approaches life with enthusiasm, confidence, and a healthy dose of puppy mischief. Whether she's exploring the outdoors, chasing a toy, meeting new friends, or cuddling up after a busy day, Bridget believes every moment is meant to be enjoyed.
Her foster describes her perfectly:
"She's a very sweet, curious girl who loves the outdoors. As a puppy, she is still learning her manners. Very smart and loves every human and dog she has met."
Bridget's Story
Bridget is part of a litter of 23 Border Collie mix puppies who found themselves needing rescue.
Thankfully, she made her way to Wisconsin and has quickly proven herself to be a bright, social, and loving puppy who is ready to find a family of her own.
Like many puppies, Bridget is still learning about the world, but she approaches new experiences with confidence and excitement.
Bridget's Favorite Activities

Walks and neighborhood adventures

Playing with toys
Fetch

Sniffing and exploring new places
Chewing on bones
Zooming around the yard
Meeting new people
Relaxing on outdoor patios
Cuddling with her people
Napping after a busy day
Bridget especially enjoys being outside and would love a family that includes her in adventures and activities.
What Bridget Is Working On
Bridget is still a puppy, which means she is learning important life skills every day.
Her foster family is helping her work on:
Basic manners
Leash skills
Polite greetings
Focus around distractions
Listening skills
Managing excitement around people and dogs
Like many intelligent puppies, Bridget occasionally suffers from a case of "selective hearing" when something more interesting catches her attention.
She can also be a bit stubborn at times and isn't shy about sharing her opinions through barking or vocalizing.
The good news is that she is incredibly smart, highly motivated by food and toys, and eager to learn.
She is also doing very well with both house training and crate training when kept on a consistent schedule.
Bridget's Ideal Home
Bridget would thrive in:
Active families
Outdoor enthusiasts
Homes with other dogs
Families with children
People willing to continue training and enrichment
Adopters looking for a fun and interactive companion
Bridget absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys having canine friends to play with.
Her compatibility with cats is currently unknown, but based on her social and easygoing temperament, she would likely do well with proper introductions.
She loves children, though her enthusiasm and puppy energy can sometimes result in accidentally knocking over smaller kids during play.
Why You'll Love Bridget
Bridget is one of those dogs who makes life more fun.
She's smart, silly, affectionate, adventurous, and always ready for whatever the day brings.
Whether she's zooming around the yard, making new friends, cuddling on the couch, or figuring out how to get into a little puppy mischief, she brings joy wherever she goes.
As she continues to grow and mature, Bridget has all the makings of an incredible family dog and lifelong companion.
If you're looking for a playful, curious, outdoorsy best friend who will keep you smiling every day, Bridget is ready to meet you.
Fostered in Rochester, Minnesota.
