Looking for your next furry BFF?   We don’t have perfect dogs — but we do have dogs who are perfect for the right someone. Our goal is to match each dog with the home that fits them best and each home with the dog that will sing to your heart. Ready to adopt? Complete an application at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org/application   Foster location: Foster Home in Raleigh, NC Weight: 8 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $199  Fence needed? No, though he'd love one Want To Know More About Me? Text Mike to 864-441-9075 for my full story and photos - we'll send everything you need to know! Here's Your Quick Peek: Meet Mike, our winky, one-eyed "senior" with the energy of a teenager! He’s a little bossy with his canine siblings - quick to bark and remind them he’s the big man on campus - but with people, he’s all play, bounces, and the cutest yoga poses.  Please note - if you want to skip the text and go straight to the application, you can find the link here: www.carolinapoodlerescue.org/application/ Must have: A home committed to lots of snuggles and chew toys Exercise: Low - You quite literally have to make Mike go outside Best with: People. He is in a foster home with large and small dogs, but would be happiest as an only child. Not ideal for: A home with large dogs Energy level: Low. Mike is equal parts independent and snuggly. He is definitely not a velcro dog but has a big heart that he's eager to share. He is continuing to work on house training in his foster home. We strongly recommend belly bands for this sometimes-naughty boy! Mike is a friendly guy. He's going to give you an introductory sniff and then will jump up on your leg for pets. If you're really lucky, he'll show you his best downward dog yoga pose and ask you to play! Good with dogs: Yes, though he wants to be your only one Good with kids: Yes Cats: Yes, though he does think they are fun to chase Fun fact: The shelter said he was 13 - our guess is closer to 10. Benjamin Buttons anyone Potential Adopters   Dogs can’t drive - and since we’re busy taking care of them, we can’t either! Please check your potential BFF’s location and make sure you’re comfortable traveling to meet them. Want updates and ways to help?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Prissy -Sonsorship Only-In a hospice foster home   Sweet 16-year-old Prissy came to Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue as an owner surrender who no longer wanted to pay the medical bills associated with a senior dog.   Prissy is missing quite a bit of fur, has a small mass, and after careful evaluation, our vet determined that she is not healthy enough to survive surgery. Because of this, Prissy will remain in our care as a hospice pup, living out her golden days in a loving foster home where she will receive the best medical care, attention, and comfort we can give. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143   We are committed to giving Prissy all the love she deserves, but we can't do it without your help. Her ongoing medical needs — including medications, special food, frequent vet visits, and comfort care — add up quickly. If you can, please consider making a donation to support Prissy's care. Every dollar truly makes a difference for her.   Donate here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=VJEXAFXEE84BE   Thank you for being part of our village and helping us give Prissy the life she should have had all along. She may not have years left, but she will know love every single day she has. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 15, 2026, 10:15 am
