Meet Salt – A Resilient & Loving Chihuahua Mix Looking for Her Forever Home!

Salt is a 6-year-old Chihuahua mix, weighing just 8 lbs, and she’s ready for a fresh start! She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccinations.

Salt came to us from Nash County after enduring heartbreaking neglect. She was confined outside in the snow, left without food or water, and covered in urine and f***s. Despite her rough past, Salt remains a sweet, loving girl who adores people. She has a gentle spirit and is eager to find a home where she will be treasured and cared for.

Salt is currently located in the Raleigh, NC area, and we do not transport dogs. If you are outside the local area, you must be able to travel in person to adopt her.

🏡🐾 Jabbo is Looking for His Forever Lap! 💙

Meet Jabbo—the tiny 12-year-old chihuahua with a big heart and an even bigger personality! This sweet 7 lb boy just wants a warm lap, belly rubs, and a cat-free home (seriously… no cats. He thinks they are for chasing. The cats disagree. 🙃).

Jabbo may be a senior, but he still has plenty of love to give and snuggles to share. He’s not your typical chihuahua—he’s friendly, easygoing, and just wants to be someone’s little shadow. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will adore you forever, Jabbo is your guy!

🚨 URGENT: Senior Dogs Demand More Snacks! 🍖😂

Folks, we have a crisis on our hands. Our senior pups have officially declared that their treat supply is “unacceptably low” (their words, not ours). Bandit is giving us the silent treatment. Fluffy is staging a sit-in (well… a lay-in). And Jabbo? He’s threatening to file a formal complaint… if he could hold a pen. ✍️🐾

But in all seriousness—caring for these incredible senior and medically needy dogs takes a lot, and we can’t do it without your support. Vet visits, medications, comfy beds, and yes, a never-ending supply of snacks—it all adds up!

Every donation helps give these seniors the love and care they deserve. And yes, maybe a few extra treats too. 😉🐶

Meet Pepper – A Resilient Senior Chihuahua Mix Looking for a Loving Home!

Pepper is a 10-year-old Chihuahua mix who has endured a tough past but still has so much love to give! He is neutered, recently had a dental cleaning, and is in good health aside from a mild heart murmur that does not require medication.

Pepper came to us from Nash County, where he was confined outside his entire life, even in freezing temperatures. He was kept with other dogs without food or water, covered in urine and f***s. Despite everything he has been through, Pepper remains a sweet, gentle boy who just wants a warm lap and a loving home for his golden years.

Pepper is located in the Raleigh, NC area, and we do not transport dogs. If you are outside the local area, you must be willing to travel in person to adopt him.

📢 HELP—We’re Surrounded by Seniors! 🐶👴🏼💸

Here at Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue, we’re basically running a canine retirement home—except our residents demand belly rubs, gourmet treats, and the occasional throne made of blankets. 👑🐾

Our seniors may have a little gray in their fur, a few missing teeth, and some selective hearing (especially when you call them inside), but they’ve got hearts full of love and so much life left to live! 💙

The only problem? Their vet bills are bigger than their tiny, wobbly bodies! 🏥💰 Between medications, surgeries, special diets, and spa days (aka much-needed grooming), these little retirees are running up quite the tab.

That’s where YOU come in! 🙏💙

💸 Help fund the senior takeover! Donate today: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=VJEXAFXEE84BE

Every dollar helps keep these gray-faced lovebugs living their best golden years. Plus, donating means you officially become a sponsor of the fluffiest senior citizens around—and who doesn’t want that on their resume? 😆🐾

📢 Help Us Save More Lives! 🐾💙

At Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue, we believe every senior and medically needy dog deserves love, care, and a second chance—but we can’t do it without you.

Every day, we take in dogs who have been neglected, abandoned, or surrendered, giving them the medical care, warmth, and love they desperately need. From lifesaving surgeries to daily medications, special diets, and vet visits, our work never stops—but neither do the expenses.

🙏 We need your help to continue this mission. Every dollar makes a difference in giving these precious souls the comfort and care they deserve in their golden years.

💙 Donate today: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=VJEXAFXEE84BE

No amount is too small, and every contribution goes directly to the dogs who need it most. Thank you for being part of their journey! 🐶💕

📢 Nova Needs a Home—Urgently! 🏡🐾

Sweet Nova is still looking for her forever home, and her family is desperate to find her the loving place she deserves. ❤️

Nova is a gentle, loving pup who just wants a warm bed, a kind heart, and a family to call her own. Sadly, her current family is facing a heartbreaking situation. Their child is in and out of the hospital, and Nova is often left home alone for days at a time. While they have someone attending to her basic needs, she is still alone and longing for companionship, love, and attention.

🏡 Can you open your heart and home to Nova? Whether fostering or adopting, you’ll be giving her the love and security she’s been missing.

🙏 If you can help, please reach out! Every share, every inquiry, and every act of kindness brings her one step closer to her happy ending.

🐶✨ Kobe Update: The Sass is Strong with This One ✨🐶

Mr. Kobe is thriving in his foster home… and by thriving, I mean he has officially declared himself King of the Household. 👑 This little guy has mastered the fine art of dramatic whining. He’ll trot up to his foster mom, whimper sweetly, and if she dares to make eye contact without immediately picking him up—oh, the offense—he simply cranks up the volume. Louder. And louder. Until she gives in to his royal demands. 😂

Aside from his diva moments, Kobe is a perfect houseguest—fully potty trained and always lets his foster mom know when it’s time to do his business. 🚽 He’s also great with kids (even two little ones under 10!) and loves racing around with his doggy foster sibling. It’s basically a retirement party every day, and these two senior boys are living their best lives. 🏃‍♂️🐾

But here’s the thing—Kobe wouldn’t be thriving without an amazing foster home. Fosters are the bridge between a rough past and a loving forever home, and families like this make all the difference. Yes, saying goodbye is hard, but it makes room for another pup in need. 💕

If you’ve ever thought about fostering, now is the time! We need more families willing to open their hearts and homes to dogs like Kobe. It’s a short-term commitment with a lifelong impact. 🙌 Huge shoutout to all the incredible fosters out there—you are changing lives!

Want to be a hero for a pup in need? Apply to foster today! ⬇️🐶❤️

🐾 Welcome, Milo! 🐾

Please join us in welcoming Milo, our newest member of Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue. This sweet boy, around 10 years old, was found as a stray in Nash County. His eyes are severely infected, and he appears to be almost blind, but we won’t know the full extent of his condition until he sees the vet.

Despite everything, Milo is already showing us what a loving soul he is. He deserves a chance to heal and live out his golden years in comfort. We’ll keep you updated on his progress, but right now, he needs your support!

💙 Donations for Milo’s vet care are greatly appreciated. Every dollar helps us give him the medical attention he needs! If you’d like to contribute, please visit:

Thank you for helping us give Milo a second chance. Welcome to the Rainbow Bridge family, sweet boy! 🌈🐶

If any of our followers are in the Charlotte area, you may consider bringing Coco into your home❤️❤️

Good morning! It’s Tuesday, Feb 25th! We are still looking for Hospice Foster for Coco.

❤️Coco❤️

SBM loves the seniors. And we absolutely love taking a dog off euthanasia list. And we ESPECIALLY love taking a dumped senior off euthanasia list. Because no dog deserves to live their final chapter like that. They should be loved and cherished. So when Foster Christie reached out and asked if she could pull Coco because she was an owner surrender to a shelter in Charlotte NC because she is “deaf and old”, we did!

Coco is an 11 lb 14 year old toy poodle. She had some pretty significant eye issues, that were preventable that caused her to lose her vision. She is on the mend now and looking for a home to finish out her years. She is housebroken and let’s you know when she needs to go out. She is indifferent to other dogs. She is loves to lay around and be pet. She is older, and very low maintenance other than a couple drops in her eyes, which she doesn’t mind. She does need to be carried out to potty since she cannot see or hear.

SBM has provided Coco all the care she needed to get her as healthy as possible. Eye drops will be continued for a bit longer. We would love to find a warm home for Coco to live out these golden years. Coco deserves this!

If you are interested, please contact Liz at 734-673-0467. There will be no adoption fee but candidate will be screened. We just want a good home for Coco.

Bubbles is a beautiful one-year-old calico with a sweet and loving personality. This adorable girl is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and ready to find her forever home!

She is playful, affectionate, and would love a family to cuddle with. Bubbles is also great with other cats and dogs, making her a wonderful addition to a multi-pet home!

While we do not have Bubbles in our care, we are helping to spread the word to find her the perfect match.

If you’re interested in giving Bubbles the loving home she deserves, please fill out an application here:

🐶 Kobe is Looking for His Forever Family! 🏡❤️

Kobe may be in a loving foster home, but he still dreams of a family to call his own. This sweet boy is thriving with his amazing foster parents, have been working with him and helping him build confidence. He has been great with their kids, proving that he would make a wonderful companion for a loving family!

Kobe has had his share of challenges, but his spirit remains unbreakable. 💙 His right front leg was broken at the elbow and, unfortunately, never healed properly. Given his age—estimated to be around 10-12 years—the vet recommends leaving it as is to avoid unnecessary distress. Additionally, his hind legs don’t always work as they should, and while the cause is still uncertain, we are monitoring him closely with the help of our dedicated veterinary team.

Despite everything, Kobe is as loving and gentle as ever. He’s an inspiration, showing us all that even with obstacles, there’s always room for love and care. ❤️
