My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Phil – Sweet Senior Alert!
Raleigh, NC – Local Foster or Adopter Needed

Say hello to Phil, a tiny 5 lb, 11-year-old Chihuahua with a big heart and a gentle soul. Phil just arrived from a rescue in Virginia that is closing its doors, and while we don’t know much about his past, one thing is clear—he’s incredibly sweet.

Phil is neutered and up to date on all his shots, and now he’s looking for a calm, loving home where he can feel safe and cherished for the rest of his days.

Whether you’re looking to foster or adopt, Phil is the perfect little companion—quiet, kind, and just wants to be near his person.

We are looking for local homes in the Raleigh/Durham area only – we do not transport dogs.

Apply to foster or adopt here: https://rainbowbridgerescue.org/applications/  Adoption fee $300

Help us give Phil the soft landing he deserves. #FosterPhil #AdoptDontShop #SeniorChihuahua #RainbowBridgeRescue #TinyDogBigLove

More about this rescue

We bring in the senior dogs and medically needy dogs.
We are a small rescue making a difference in the world. No dog deserves to dumped in a shelter after giving their entire life to a family.

I had locked myself away from the world back in 2010. I saw this tiny ShihTzu on the news that had been saved from a puppy mill bust. I adopted Princess Reagan Marie and she saved my life. I wanted to help other dogs so I started fostering. In May 2021 I open my rescue.
