Story
Meet Miss Peggy! This senior chi-weenie gal is full of love and sass. When she's not zooming around playing with toys or dogs, you can find her somewhere sleeping under a blanket. Peggy loves her people and doesn't like to be without them. Ideally, Peggy is looking for someone who works from home since she loves being with her people so much. She's not a fan of being crated and will let you know that. While she's small, Peggy is not a good fit for apartments/shared walls since she can sing the song of her people when she is left alone. She loves to wrestle, chase, and snuggle with other dogs. We strongly prefer that she goes to a home where she can have a canine companion to be besties with. She also loves laying outside in the sunshine, but a fence is not required. She does well on a leash and loves to go on walks. Peggy is house-trained and very good at letting you know when she needs to go out. Younger kids make her a little nervous, so she should go to a home with older kids or no kids. Even though Peggy is a senior, she's quite fit. Her only "issue upon coming to us was her mouth. Years of improper dental care took a toll on her and Peggy had to have 12 teeth removed when she came to Freedom Ride. She will be good as new once she's healed from these extractions. If you and your dog are looking for a new friend, apply to meet Peggy today!

Story
Salami is a beautiful chocolate-brown Chihuahua mix with the sweetest eyes and an even sweeter heart. She was rescued from a tough situation where she became pregnant far too young, but those days are behind her now, and Salami is safe, loved, and ready to find her forever family. This gentle girl can be shy at first and appreciates a little time to feel comfortable in new surroundings. Once she does, her playful personality shines through. She loves cuddles, toys, and cozying up with her favorite humans. Salami has proven to be a trusted and well-mannered companion inside the home. She’s doing great with her house training and continues to make steady progress. She’s still working on feeling fully confident in her crate, but with patience and reassurance, she’s learning that it’s a safe and comfortable space. Salami is also learning all about the joys of being an indoor dog and has been doing wonderfully! She’s even taken it upon herself to “decorate” her home with toys in every room, just to make things feel more cheerful. Salami would be happiest in a home with another friendly dog or with humans who are home often, as she loves companionship. She also enjoys having her own space to run and explore, so a fenced yard would be ideal for her to handle her “business” privately and safely. If you’re looking for a tenderhearted companion who just needs a little patience and a lot of love, Salami might be your perfect match!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Toby & Precious – Two Sweet Souls Looking for Their Forever Home Precious, a tiny Pomeranian mix, and Toby, an 11-year-old Chihuahua, recently lost their mom. One of their fur siblings was already taken to a shelter, but a kind-hearted Good Samaritan stepped in to give these two a safe, temporary home. Unfortunately, she already has three dogs, so this is not a long-term option. These sweet pups are pee pad trained and love walking on leashes. They are a little shy, especially around men, but with patience and love, they will warm up quickly. Location: Marshville, Union County (about 25 miles east of Charlotte) Please note: We do not transport dogs, so adopters must pick them up in Marshville, NC. Both Toby and Precious are up to date on vaccinations and will be spayed/neutered once adopted.  Adopotion Fee $300 for one, $500 for both If you’re ready to give these sweet hearts a loving home, apply here: https://rainbowbridgerescue.org/applications/  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 24, 2025, 9:39 am

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.
