Josie needs a foster ‼️

Josie came to us a few weeks ago when we toured Fairfield County Animal Shelter. We couldn’t leave her behind after learning her sad story! She had beat parvo as a young puppy but then spent the next 9 months growing up in the shelter. She is still learning about how to be a real dog, and would love a permanent foster home where she can continue to do so.

Josie is about a year old, and she is already spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. We think she is a beagle mix and she is full grown at about 35/40 pounds. She is dog friendly but still figuring out socializing so dog savvy dogs are ideal in the home. Or no dogs, she loves people too!!

Josie needs a foster asap to help us make room for the new dogs we will be pulling Wednesday. If you’re interested in fostering Josie, please contact us on our website, our email our foster coordinator:

UPDATE: WE HIT OUR GOAL!!

WE NEED TO RAISE $2000!!!!

It’s been a minute since we’ve done a big fundraiser, and this one is really, really important. Pictured here is one of many dogs we’d love to save with a foster home and donations. This puppy’s life is at risk. We have a donator willing to match us up to $2000 to save lives if we can raise $2000 on our own.

We are heading out to a rural shelter this Wednesday and I can’t tell you much about who we’re taking yet because I don’t know. I only know that lives are on the line and we’re going to save as many as we can. We need funds to do so. We have no idea what we’re getting and what health concerns we may be faced with, but we have to be prepared and don’t want to leave any lives behind that really need us.

If you can’t foster or adopt, donating even just $5 helps us save these lives. We are powerful in numbers. We can’t do this without you.

Can’t donate? Please share this post. We are hoping to raise $2000 before Wednesday. I know it’s a tough goal… but I know that we can do it with your support.

GOAL: $2000
RAISED: $2000

A bittersweet adoption bio,

Meet ADOPTABLE Sugar ❤️

Sugar’s adoption is bittersweet because it took us an entire year to get here. Pulled from a hoarding case with severe mange and terrified of human touch, it’s safe to say this girl has had one of the hardest - and one of the most transformative - rescue journeys we’ve seen.

Sugar came to us a year ago in terrible condition mentally and physically. It took a lot of patience, tenderness, love, and care to help her overcome the obstacles she has. After months of struggling with skin issues, we had to take a holistic route and found out she was also battling dysbiosis (poor gut health), but thanks to multiple vets, Sugar is in the best health she’s probably ever been. We estimate her to be around 3 years old, and she is full grown at about 28 pounds. She is likely a mix of many breeds, but her beautiful locks do require frequent cleaning and brushing.

Now for the important stuff - what’s under the surface. Sugar is not a “normal” dog, and she may never be. She isn’t the kind of dog to go for a walk around the neighborhood, go out to the pet store, or even come up to you and sit for a treat, but she may very well come around to becoming that dog. She will, however, play with her friends in the backyard, snooze on the back of the couch, or even come lay beside you as you watch a movie. She has slowly ventured closer and closer as she’s learned what it’s like to experience the love of a human.

Sugar may still have her quirks, but she is very well trained in the home. She is completely crate and potty trained. She does not walk on the leash, but with continued training and patience, she will get there. For now, Sugar is looking for that perfect person or family who will open their home up to a beautiful dog who is still learning what it’s like to love and be loved. She is great with all dogs, cats, and has even been great with kids. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and prevention.

*must have at least one dog in the home, Sugar will not thrive as an only dog*

Update: Jack is home snd feeling so much better thanks to the staff at IPUC!!

some healing vibes to Jack ❤️‍🩹 our boy woke up really sick today. Unfortunately we couldn’t get him into a regular vet so he headed to where he is hanging out for a few hours. Thank goodness our friends at Island Pet Urgent Care love our rescues as much as we do - even if they make a huge mess in the lobby, (swipe for proof 😅 - yes that is diarrhea).

Jack will be getting some routine tests done to make sure he hasn’t picked up anything that prevention doesn’t cover, and he will also be receiving supportive care to make sure he doesn’t decline.

Our care for our rescues exceeds the basic care needed to become adoptable. When we pull animals, we make a promise to care for them even when they are unexpectedly sick. Thank you for allowing us to provide the upmost care for our animals through your donations and support.

You can donate to Jack’s vet bill today in the following ways:

Update: covered!

‼️ Josie needs a temp foster 8/21 - 8/26 and we’ve had zero luck finding anyone! If you’re interested in helping us by temporarily opening up your home to Joise, please contact us. She is dog friendly and crate trained. She is only about 35 pounds and LOVES people. She is still nervous on the leash so a fenced yard is ideal.

📍 Charleston area only!

On Friday, we visited a new shelter with You Can Rescue, meeting all 120 dogs on the Fairfield County Animal Shelter grounds. Choosing which dogs to leave with is one of the hardest things in rescue.

Do you take the dogs who will likely get adopted quicker so that you can save more? Or do you take the dogs who have little to no chance of getting out? Or how about the one who has a medical problem? Or the one who is still a puppy and doesn’t deserve to grow up in the shelter?

How do you choose?

We were able to bring home two dogs that we felt really needed us. Help us welcome these two very deserving girls into Bridge Between - Cali and Josie!

Cali actually caught our attention before we went to the shelter. We heard about her story online - a repeat stray who was picked up by animal control again, covered in ticks and fleas, except this time around, her family didn’t come back to get her. We quickly learned Cali is an unbothered queen who loves everyone and evening. We wanted her to have a real chance at a great home so we pulled her before her previous owners changed their mind about taking her back. She didn’t deserve to go back to a life of neglect.

The second girl we pulled is Josie. She came into the shelter as a 3 month old puppy and broke with parvo. She managed to survive, but sadly spent the next 9 months growing up at the shelter. She is VERY sweet but she is insecure and under-socialized. She is currently in our bridge building while we seek a full time foster. She will need some help building confidence and learning about how to live in a home instead of a concrete kennel 💔.

Although choosing what dogs to save is very hard, it felt good to choose two dogs who really needed us. We are excited to be their bridge between and help them find their forever families. They will be getting vet check ups and will be adoptable soon ❤️

After a month of halting intake, we have our newest face at The Bridge Between. She doesn’t know the hell she just escaped. I can’t share a lot of details because I don’t want to burn a bridge with the shelter she came from and want to go back and save more, but let’s just say this girl made it through one of the worst shelters in South Carolina. Not every dog who enters those concrete walls can say the same. 33 dogs lost their lives last week. She could’ve been one of them.

Years ago, I tried to save a dog named “Moxie” from a rural shelter. This was before I started Bridge Between, and I was going to get her under another rescue. I was so excited. I had all of her stuff ready to go, and kept dreaming of the moment she got to leave that concrete cell block. But then I got a message, “we were too late.” Moxie was euthanized even though she was marked for rescue. I was gutted. Devastated. And Moxie is a huge reason I started Bridge Between. I didn’t want to be too late again.

So when Regan at The Mutty Misfits posted about what was happening in this shelter and she shared a picture of a little puppy also named “Moxie”, I knew I had to step up for her. I knew that she couldn’t face the same fate. And despite not wanting any new personal fosters, not stepping up could’ve meant the end of her life. Now she’s napping on a fluffy bed in my home. She knows she is safe.

I wish I could write a novel on my feelings about this shelter. But I can’t. Let me just say that every dog - old, young, confident, scared, EVERY dog - deserves a chance to make it out. Euthanizing dogs without even trying to save them is cruel, malicious, and morally wrong.

Thank God for for fighting for these dogs. Thank God I saw the picture of Moxie.

Fostering saves lives y’all.

Oh, and we will be going back to this shelter soon. So if you’re feeling inspired by what you’ve seen here and at The Mutty Misfits, I encourage you to apply to become a foster so that you can save a life too.
