Bridget, found on Rockbridge Rd, waits at Dekalb Animal Services
Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends says Lifeline lists the friendly, gentle dog as being at high risk for euthanasia.
An Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends employee found Bridget roaming on Rockbridge Rd. She wore a harness but had no tag or microchip, and the group drove through nearby neighborhoods looking for her owner.
The group took her to Dekalb Animal Services, which AARF says is the only place licensed to take in strays. AARF describes her as friendly, gentle, sweet and polite, and asks anyone looking to adopt a dog to consider Bridget.

Open the post“Our Shelter Pup of the week, Bridget, is a repeat because she's near and dear to our hearts. Lifeline has her listed as being at "high risk for euthanasia," so we want to tell you guys about her again! An AARF employee found this sweetie-pie roaming on Rockbridge Rd. She was wearing a harness but didn't have a tag or microchip, so we drove around the surrounding neighborhoods to see if we could find anyone looking for her. She was so friendly, gentle, sweet, and polite the whole time she was in our car. Ultimately we had to take he to Dekalb Animal Services, where she currently resides, as they are the only ones licensed to intake stray/abandoned animals. She's such a good dog, and it breaks our hearts that she hasn't found a home yet and is now at risk of euthanasia. If you or anyone you know is looking to adopt a dog, please consider Bridget. Please like, and share far and wide— Let's get the word out! Thank you! #ShelterPupoftheWeek #atlantadogadoption #atlantadogs #dogadoption #AtlantaPets #AtlantaAnimalRescue #atlantapetrescue #DeKalbCountyGA #StoneMountainVillage #clarkstonga #DecaturGA #ATL #AdoptAShelterDog #SaveShelterPets #adoption #ForeverHome #DogsOfAtlanta #RescueDogsOfInstagram”
