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

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Profile incomplete, waiting on DebbieMeet Sweet Pepper!   Pepper arrives at pawfect  after he nearly died from a serious flea infestation that left him nearly dead of anemia. He had to be completely shaved and had an emergency life saving blood transfusion.  He is all better and will be neutered soon. He loves playing and jumping and running. He is food with Everyone and everything. Are you his person? ** The adoption fee is $400, which covers food, vetting, microchip and the spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet.  All dogs receive a wellness visit and are up to date on shots appropriate for age.  Breed and size is Pawfect Match Rescue's best guess and not guaranteed.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Walnut, an 11‑pound, 5‑year‑old terrier mix with a sunny, joyful personality. Small in size but full of charm, he’s fun loving, cheerful, and eager to be part of your world. He takes his time making new friends, then adores you once you’re part of his pack. Walnut thrives on attention and playtime—fetch is a favorite—but he’s also wonderfully adaptable and happy to settle at your feet when you’re busy.  He loves having his people home during the day and doesn’t do well when left alone for long periods, so an adopter who works from home or is home most of the time will be the best fit. Walnut has excellent house manners, is crate trained, knows sit and stay, waits politely at the door for walks, and listens well to a calm, confident leader. He’s alert and will bark when someone comes to the house, but he’s not food‑ or toy‑aggressive and respects boundaries like staying off certain furniture or waiting patiently at mealtimes. A steady, toddling walker, Walnut enjoys two 30‑minute walks each day plus a few short potty breaks and does not need a fenced yard. He’s been a one‑person dog and would be an ideal companion for a single adopter, though he may learn to do well with older, dog‑savvy kids with gentle socialization. He hasn’t lived with cats but enjoys his canine buddy in his foster’s fenced yard, where he proudly plays left field. Walnut loves learning and benefits from mental and physical enrichment, and his adorable habit of standing on his hind legs to get a better look at things hints he could be a natural for agility or other confidence‑building activities.
