Bridgette
🐾 Bridgette – D2026-01 🐾
5 Year Old Bichon Frise
Little Bridgette is looking for a very patient and understanding home that will help her continue learning to trust the world around her.
Bridgette is naturally a very wary and sensitive girl, and she can react by lunging or trying to nip if she feels frightened or pressured – particularly with things like having her collar, lead or harness put on, or when grooming around her face. Because of this, she needs calm, confident owners who will take things slowly and allow her to progress at her own pace.
The lovely news is that once Bridgette feels safe, her sweet personality really shines through. She enjoys gentle fuss, tummy rubs and being picked up by someone she trusts, and she has a playful side too – she loves when you pretend to chase her and will happily play along from the sofa or floor.
Bridgette has made lovely progress in foster over the last few weeks and is already starting to relax more in her surroundings. She takes a lot of comfort from other dogs and relies heavily on her resident dog friend for reassurance, so she must live with a calm, confident resident dog who can help guide her.
She is good with other dogs and cats, and can live with older, dog-savvy children who understand that she will need space and patience.
Bridgette has begun venturing out to a secure field (travelling in a pushchair) where she enjoys gently exploring with her doggy friend and politely greeting other dogs. She isn’t ready for busy street walks yet, but she is slowly building confidence.
🏡 About Bridgette:
• Needs a calm, patient home
• Must live with a resident dog
• Can live with older dog-savvy children
• Good with dogs and cats
• Partially housetrained – still a work in progress

Bridgette eats well but is still nervous about taking food directly from your hand – she prefers treats to be tossed nearby for her to collect.
She sleeps happily in the kitchen with the other resident dogs.
With time, kindness and understanding, Bridgette has the potential to become a deeply loyal and loving companion to someone willing to help her continue building confidence.
