Eileen Is Bridgewater's Pet Of The Week

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Meet Eileen! She has been chosen as Bridgewater Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"My dog, Eileen, would like to be Bridgewater Pet of the Week! She was found as a stray in August of 2016 in Newark.

Somerset Regional Animal Shelter in Bridgewater took her in after her 7-day stray hold. She had pneumonia and was hospitalized for a week. We fostered her through the rest of her recovery to help her get ready for adoption. We were foster failures. We fell in love with her and made her a part of our family Dec. 1, 2016.

Eileen is about 13 years old. She loves to cuddle, give paw or curtsy for treats, and she makes us laugh every day."

— Nancy Gedbaw, Raritan
