NEEDS: Meatball is SUCH an amazing pup. He's just a snuggle bunny with one of our loving fosters; he's loving his humans. He gets along with other dogs, and is learning to be a good boy in the house.
HEALTH ISSUES: Meatball's labs and X-rays look good. He is heartworm positive BUT he has already started treatment and we will get him fully healthy again! Freedom Bridge remains financially responsible for his treatments until completed. He's up-to-date on core vaccines, and is neutered and microchipped.

MAMA SURI
AGE: Approximately 1 to 1.5 years old
BREED: Lab Mix
SEX: F
BACKGROUND: Suri was a very scared mama, handling life on her own. She was found by the graveyard with her puppy Scout. Animal Control was able to first get Scout. They found 3 other puppies that had passed. One of their attempts to catch Mama ended up catching another pup, Inky. And, FINALLY, Mama and one remaining pup, Gravy, got into a Good Samaritan's car who stopped for them. Because Mama wanted to meet the pup the Good Samaritan had with her, she was able to get them and notify Animal Control. We took them under rescue. Mama and 3 puppies are now safe.
NEEDS: Suri finished nursing her babies and her little ones have found loving homes. Now Suri needs a loving home to show her a safe life that's not on the streets.
HEALTH ISSUES: She is in good health and is ready for stability, security, and love.

NAME A PUP!!!
We will draw and announce the winners for who gets to name
Mama, Baby Girl, and Baby Boy
on June 29th, 2024!!!
We pulled a Mama and her 2 babies from a shelter after being found abandoned. The two babies, about 3 weeks old, don't have names yet, nor does Mama.
We thought it would be fun and helpful to fund their medical care, if we created an event where we receive your suggestions for names!
One is a female, the other a male. For each $5 donation, the name you choose (for one or two or all) will be entered.
So, if you really like a name, a donation of $20 (for example) would enter that name 4 times.
Please use the Venmo code below and place in the comments section who you are wanting to name and your choice.
We will draw the winners for Mama, Baby Girl, and Baby Boy on June 29th, 2024 and announce!!!
Happy naming!
Come join us for this amazing event!!!
Many great vendors & pups who would love to meet you!
