IF INTERESTED YOU MUST COMPLETE OUR APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE, WE DO NOT RECEIVE APPLICATIONS FROM THIS SITE. WE DO NOT CHARGE A FEE TO COMPLETE AN APPLICATION OR REQUIRE SEPARATE APPLICATIONS FOR DIFFERENT DOGS WE MAY HAVE AVAILABLE. www.schnauzersaversrescuers.org MILO is a pure bred MALTESE, 5 yrs old male. He is white and feels like silk. He is UTD on vaccines/rabies and Bordetella, groomed and microchipped. He is neutered and heartworm negative. He’s on heartworm prevention and been dewormed. Milo never meets a stranger, no matter if it’s a dog or person. He adapts well to a new environment rather quickly. This little one is about 13 lbs. And he loves to be the boss, yet not in an aggressive way at all. He likes to talk to you and tell ou stories. Follows you around the house and learns very quickly. First day in his foster home, she moved the gate to enter into another room, turned around and within a minute, Milo moved the gate and followed her. He enjoys going outside in the fenced yard to explore. His foster Mom stays outside with him and he has good recall. He came as a breeder surrender, along with others. These dogs lived outdoors and still learning to go out on command. So Milo would do best being on a consistent schedule or a belly band in the beginning. He does well with other dogs in the home, but does like to take the role of being the leader. Kids should be over 10 as these dogs have never lived with a child of any age.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › MaltipooTuxedo is an energetic boy who loves to run and play. He enjoys chew toys and playing with other dogs. He does well in his crate for limited times during the day and he is a good sleeper whether in his human's bed or on his dog bed. He is not fully potty trained so a fenced back yard for outdoor play time would be great. Although he [has] been on a harness and leash, he finds himself getting distracted and darting in different directions. He's a loving boy with a good heart and a kind spirit. He is smart and he's a good eater. He's not picky with his food. He lives his live with joyful abandon and happiness.Tuxedo is estimated to be around 4 years old and 12 lbs.You can apply to adopt me here: https://www.pawfectmatch.org/info/adoptionVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 1, 2025, 8:53 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Tinkerbell This tiny 4-month-old Maltese may be small in size, but her story is already huge in heart. Tinkerbell came to us as a breeder surrender because she was born with a Grade 4 heart murmur. The breeder’s plan? Euthanasia. But thankfully, our fearless leader Terri—unlike Nancy Reagan—just can’t say “no.” And thank goodness for that. Tinkerbell is NOT available for adoption at this time. She is safe and sound in a loving foster home, where she’s being closely monitored as we prepare for the next steps in her care. Our priority now is getting Tinkerbell evaluated by a veterinary cardiologist. These appointments aren’t cheap, and she’ll likely need ongoing treatment. If you can, please consider donating toward her medical fund so we can give this sweet girl the chance she deserves. Every dollar helps. Donate here: https://www.every.org/rainbow-bridge-hospice-rescue/f/rescued-from-euthanasia Thank you for standing with us and believing in the worth of every life—especially the tiniest ones. We’ll keep you updated on her journey. For now, send Tinkerbell your love. She’s already captured our hearts—we know she’ll capture yours, too. &#226&#156&#168 #TinkerbellStrong #RainbowBridgeHospiceRescue #SeniorDogsRock #TinyButMighty #MalteseMagicVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 24, 2025, 12:27 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Prissy   Sweet 16-year-old Prissy came to Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue as an owner surrender. While her former family tried to love her, it was clear they didn’t have the time or means to provide the care she desperately needed.   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   Terri spent most of Monday lovingly grooming this little doll, helping her feel clean, soft, and beautiful again. Prissy will be heading to her hospice foster home on Wednesday, where she will be surrounded by love and kindness for the rest of her days.   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.April 28, 2025, 8:31 pm

Story
Kkukkku is an approximately 7-year-old male mixed breed of Bichon Frisé and Poodle. He once lived a happy life in a loving home but, unfortunately, experienced the heartbreak of being abandoned. Despite this, he still holds deep trust and affection for people and gets along well with other dogs. He is a bright and gentle pup with a warm personality. Having spent a long time in a home, Kkukkku is expected to adapt relatively quickly to a new environment. Currently, he is accustomed to using pee pads indoors in Korea, but he is intelligent and can quickly learn to do his business outside. Kkukkku is affectionate and enjoys bonding with people, finding great happiness in spending time with them. His lovable charm is special enough to capture anyone’s heart instantly. At present, Kkukkku is staying at a training center, living with other dogs, and displaying excellent social skills. Because he loves people so much, he may bark briefly to get attention when someone approaches. Since he struggles with being alone, he would thrive best in a home where someone is always present, ensuring he feels secure and happy. Kkukkku has a friendly personality and approaches strangers without hesitation—he knows how to be loved. He may bark when confined in a kennel or a small space, but this is understandable behavior and not a major issue overall. As a sweet and loving companion, Kkukkku is ready to create happy moments with his new family. He is eagerly waiting for a family who can share genuine love and care with him.
