The origin of why their owner left them at the shelter remains a mystery. However, when the two adorable pooches arrived at the Montgomery County Animal Shelter in Conroe, Texas, they clung onto each other out of fear and uncertainty about what the future had in store for them. The newly christened Bridget and Louie were snapped in a photo during their check-in process at the shelter. They didn’t realize that within just a day, they would embark on a new life journey together. Unfortunately, the two pups were in poor health due to neglect, suffering from mange and matted fur. Despite this, the shelter staff decided to keep them together in their kennel as it was clear they had an unbreakable bond.
The little black dog named Louie was found wearing a collar made of barbed metal that was causing discomfort and injury to his neck.

Bridget’s gums were visible due to the grinding down of her upper teeth, and she appeared to have given birth multiple times. It’s possible that her teeth were worn down by biting on metal, like a chain. Sadly, it’s not uncommon for dog fighters to file down the teeth of female dogs to prevent injuries during mating or to use them as bait animals. Regardless of the reason, it’s a heart-wrenching sight to see.
The Texas Animal Society rescued a duo of dogs from the shelter, and a foster couple picked them up for their temporary home. They were elated to take their freedom ride and start their new journey.
As soon as they reached their foster family’s home, they immediately set out to explore the place. The couch caught their eye and Bridget was particularly taken with it. She found it so comfortable that she could finally relax and get some much needed sleep.
Basking in the warmth of the sun, they are taking a relaxing break on the porch.
They’re developing bonds with their foster siblings.
Despite the numerous snapshots taken by her foster mom, Bridget’s tail keeps wagging incessantly.
Bridget and Louie have a brighter future ahead of them, which means there is more time for snuggles. They have been adopted through the Texas Animal Society website after they recovered from their injuries.
