Here at the Old Bridge Inn, we are pet friendly … but please ask before you show up at the front door with your pet.
Like many of you, we travel with our dogs when we go away and know how important it is to be able to find accommodations that allow pets. Pets are a big part of our life, and we also belong to a rescue organization, the Animal Protection Agency of Jeffersonville, IN (APA).
I would love to tell you about my dog Rosie (or Rosetta), our Border Collie mix. But, to tell you her story, I have to tell you the story of the agency that rescued her so that I could adopt her.
Black Border Collie Mix
Rosie was in another shelter, in a nearby town, that went under, and the animals started dying. The Animal Protection Agency (APA) of Jeffersonville, IN, which is a no-kill shelter, went there and absorbed all the remaining animals into their shelter. The dogs were put into foster care until they were adopted, and the cats were put into their shelter.
Linda Hughes, one of the founding members of APA, had Rosie for 18 months before I adopted her. Linda reluctantly parted with dear Rosie, who now has her own room at the B&B that she shares with our other canine, Jack – another story for another day!
Rosie spent the first 18 months of her life in a small crate and as a result of that, she has bad hips. You would never know she has bad hips, though, because she is the happiest dog in the world, who smiles constantly, and brings love and joy to all she meets. She is also very verbal. Rosie throws her head back and says, “WOO WOO WOO.” “Hello, how are you, my name is Rosie and it is very nice to meet you!” Rosie spends her days in her room with Jack, walking with Jack and my husband Robbie to the Ohio River, and generally leading the good dog life.
We keep our dogs separate from the guests and spend as much time with them as possible, giving them a minimum of 3 long walks a day. They are available to meet the guests upon request.
Come see us!
