Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.DOB: 8/1/2020I am a happy boy that likes my people and gets along with other dogs. I am housebroken, crate trained, and love to snuggle with my foster mom. I  am a 4 year old black Chihuahua Mix - neutered  - up to date on all vaccines - and so ready to find my forever home.   While I do love all people, it would be best that my forever home does not have any small children as I tend to get a little rough and mouthy when playing.   I do prefer that my new forever home is a home with a fenced in yard and has a doggie door.  I don’t really like the apartment life! I like to run and get in my exercise when I go out to take care of business. I do not like dog parks, there is just too much going on and I will be very vocal because not all eyes are on me! If you think I am a good match for you please put in an application and my foster mom will be in contact. Come meet me at the next adoption event!  Up to date on age appropriate vaccines, heartworm negative, neutered and micro-chipped.   Adoption Fee:   $100.00   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 7, 2025, 10:30 pm

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.
