Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Lucy – A Gentle 9Year-Old Basset Hound–Terrier Mix  Lucy is a shy, timid, and incredibly sweet 9-year-old Basset Hound–Terrier mix who arrived at Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue after her owner entered hospice care. She and her brother, Ricky, spent their entire lives together, but sadly, not in a safe or loving environment. The family openly admitted that both dogs were hit throughout their lives as a form of discipline—and that no one ever stepped in to stop the abuse. They were surrendered when their owner entered hospice.  To make matters worse, not a single family member, including the owner’s husband, was willing to take them in. When they were surrendered, the family assured us the dogs were up to date on their shots, but we quickly discovered they had not seen a veterinarian in more than three years. Both arrived with severe dental disease, and Lucy was additionally diagnosed with a heart murmur. Now safe at Rainbow Bridge, Lucy is slowly learning that gentle hands and kind voices exist, and that she finally deserves the comfort and compassion she was always denied. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Lucy is the quieter of the pair, she is timid and flinches when you raise your hand to pet her. She’s gentle, calm, and enjoys spending her days lounging in soft blankets or quietly following her foster mom around the house. Life has recently changed a lot for her, and she’s still learning to trust and feel secure again. With patience, kindness, and love, Lucy’s sweet personality continues to blossom a little more every day.  She is potty trained but does occasionally have accidents.   Adoption Fee  $300 tps://rainbowbridgerescue.org/adopt/  Application must be completed Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 8, 2025, 6:10 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Ricky A 14-year-old Basset Hound–Terrier mix who recently came to Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue after his owner passed away and none of the family would take him.  He arrived with Lucy and these two sweet souls have spent their entire lives together.  While we would like to keep them together, they are not bonded and can be adopted separately. He was hit by his owner but he doesn't seem to be as traumatized as Lucy.   Ricky, true to his namesake, is full of life and charm — friendly, outgoing, and always ready for a cuddle.   Thank you for helping us keep our promise — to care for seniors like Lucy and Ricky when they need us most.

Howie

Huntersville, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
While visiting a high kill county shelter so full dogs were in overflow crates, we spotted Howie and knew we had to come back if we found a foster. Thankfully when someone saw his precious face and short little legs, they offered to foster and Howie officially joined TFDH! Howie is estimated to be 9-10 months old. He definitely is part basset hound with his long stocky build and but given his narrow head we think he's part dachshund which would explain his smaller size (currently 29 pounds). He also has a ravenous appetite so he may have some beagle in him too (DNA test pending). Add all of those together and no doubt Howie is a handful - he's a busy bee and takes advantage of freedom. He is not a couch potato! Howie is dominantly playful with large & small dogs, sleeps soundly in his crate, is housebroken and walks well on a leash. He is always on alert and can be rather vocal to alert his people! For this reason a home with shared walls (apartment or townhome) isn’t ideal. We've discovered Howie LOVES watching tv and he even uses those big paws to paddle around a baby pool to stay cool in the summer heat. He doesn't particularly love to share his food or toys and he does eagerly takes treats so an adult only home would be best. Adopters will need to be understanding that Howie has some “finishing” to do and would benefit from professional training classes. He is up to date on core vaccinations, kept on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and has been neutered and microchipped. Howie’s adoption fee is $300 which includes his neuter. If you are interested in adopting, please go to our website and fill out an application. www.thefosterdoghouse.org/adopt
