Bridget was found by a Caltrans worker out on the Dumbarton bridge -- way out in the San Francisco Bay. With 81,000 vehicles whizzing past daily and no food, it's amazing this little girl survived. She was found dehydrated and starving, and worse, with injuries to the sides of her mouth, particularly on the left side. The vet said her wounds were typical of a "stuck collar" -- gashes caused by a collar stuck in the mouth. Bridget must have somehow managed to chew through, or work out from the stuck collar, finally (the collar was not found), but not without cuts to the sides of her mouth. Why was she out there on the Dumbarton with a stuck collar? One possible explanation is that someone could have been trying to restrain her by holding her by the collar, and she slipped part-way out of the collar and jumped away. But we'll never really know the whole story.

Bridget is happy now to have all the food she wants in foster care and is fully healed and waiting for her forever home. She is incredibly sweet and loves to be pet and to rub against you. She is a true sweatheart and deserves a wonderful loving home.

Please note:

• Bridget needs a playmate in her new home
