My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Gizmo – Bonded Pair with Bucky
Breed: Chihuahua
Age: 11–12 years
Location: Middlesex, NC
Must Be Adopted With: Bucky (14-year-old deaf Cocker Spaniel)
Good With: Cats, dogs
Adoption Fee: $300 (for the bonded pair)

Meet Gizmo! Gizmo is a loving 11–12-year-old Chihuahua who is part of an inseparable bonded pair with his best friend Bucky, a gentle 14-year-old, deaf Cocker Spaniel who is up to date on shots and altered.

These two seniors came to Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue under heartbreaking circumstances. Their 90-year-old mom passed away, and not one of her five adult children stepped up to take them. The family even discussed taking them to a shelter to be euthanized. Thankfully, we stepped in before that could happen.

Gizmo and Bucky are incredibly easygoing, low-maintenance dogs who get along well with both cats and other dogs. They are quiet, sweet, and simply want a calm, loving home where they can stay together—they must not be separated.

We are seeking a local foster or adopter in or near Middlesex, NC, to give this pair the safe, stable home they deserve.

If you can open your heart and home to Gizmo and Bucky, please submit an application today. They’ve lost everything—but they still have each other. Now they just need someone willing to love them both.

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.
