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.July 9, 2025, 9:51 am

My former husband and Zuzu were very bonded. It has been 4 years since we split and she is not very warm towards anyone else. She is high strung and she will pee/poop in the house if not taken out constantly.

Meet Bear! This sweet little guy was dumped at the shelter by his lifelong owner but we have assured him better things await! He has been vetted, groomed, and had a dental so the only thing missing is you! He is a sweet boy who loves attention, enjoys playing with his toys, is good with other dogs and is an all-around love bug. Bear is great on a leash and house and potty trained. He can free roam with no issues. He has no known health issues and cannot wait to find his new home. All our dogs/cats are vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, on preventions, and spayed/neutered if old enough.
