Our mission is to rescue senior dogs or those with significant health issues that need lifelong care. Terri Atkinson

Whether it’s for a day or 10 years, dogs in our rescue are loved and treated with dignity until they cross over the rainbow bridge.

❤️ SHARING IS CARING! ❤️

Our Rainbow Bridge family is so grateful for the generosity of our followers, but the reality is that we continue to need your help.

We currently have over 15 dogs living in 5 foster homes, and it costs approximately $4,000 every month to provide the food, medications, veterinary care, and love they need.

The past 30 days have been especially difficult. We have said goodbye to three precious dogs, with end-of-life care costing approximately $350 per dog. We've also had multiple veterinary expenses, including an eye enucleation(funded), spay/neuter procedures (not funded), and dental work(not funded).

We wouldn't change what we do for these senior and medically needy dogs, but we cannot do it without you.

Today, we're asking for something simple that costs absolutely nothing: PLEASE SHARE THIS POST!

Every share helps us reach new people, find new followers and potential donors, and hopefully bring more support to the dogs who need us.

If you're able to donate, every dollar makes a difference. If you can't, sharing our message is just as appreciated.

Thank you for being part of our Rainbow Bridge family and helping us continue this important work. ❤️🐾

🐾 Vet Visits, Upset Tummies & Upcoming Surgery ❤️

Rosie and Prissy visited the vet this week! Prissy has been dealing with diarrhea, and something seems to be going around, affecting all four dogs in her foster home. Needless to say, it hasn’t been much fun for their foster family! ❤️

Rosie also had her bloodwork done in preparation for her surgery next week. We’re hoping for good news as we get her ready!

💕 Veterinary care adds up quickly, and we need your help to keep caring for our precious pups. If you can donate toward Rosie’s surgery and our ongoing medical expenses, every dollar makes a difference!

💔 Run Free, Sweet Lucy 🌈

Yesterday, we sadly had to say goodbye to Lucy. It seemed she’d known a hard life before finding her way to David and Terri, where she was showered with the love she deserved. And of course, she chose the dog whisperer, David, as her favorite. ❤️

When Lucy let us know it was time, we listened. She left this world knowing she was loved.

Our hearts are breaking. Lucy is the third precious soul we’ve lost in just three weeks. Along with the heartbreak come the costs of making sure each of our babies can pass peacefully and without suffering.

If you’re able to help with these unexpected expenses, we would be deeply grateful. ❤️

🌈 Rest peacefully, sweet Lucy. You were loved more than you’ll ever know. ❤️

❤️ HONEY’S UPDATE: LIVING HER BEST LIFE! ❤️

Remember Honey? This sweet Cocker Spaniel came to Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue several years ago after her owners passed away. She had tumors all over her skin, and when the vet estimate was more than the family could afford—even more than their mortgage—they asked that she be euthanized.

But Terri stepped in, and Honey got a second chance! ❤️ After more than a year in our rescue, she found her forever home with the Coates family, where she’s been loved and cherished for the past couple of years.

Cheryl recently shared that Honey had a growth removed from her ear, requiring part of the bottom of her ear to be removed. She came through the procedure beautifully, and the best news? Her biopsy came back negative for cancer! 🎉

Honey may need help with the stairs, but she still runs around the yard like a young dog! She has a great appetite, loves cuddles, and is never far from her family. Cheryl says she’s still the sweetest dog ever. 🥰

This is why we do what we do! Every senior dog deserves comfort, medical care, and a family who loves them.

💔 But we need your help. Three rescues have recently closed, and we cannot take in even 1% of the dogs we’re asked to help because our funds simply aren’t there.

We know times are tough, and we’re grateful for every single act of kindness. If you can donate, even a few dollars can make a difference. If you can’t, please share our story to help spread the word.

Thank you for helping us care for the senior dogs who need us most. Every life matters! ❤️🐾

🐾❤️ Rosie’s Road to Comfort! ❤️🐾

Rosie had an important appointment today at Animal Eye Care in Cary, and she’s in wonderful hands with Dr. Rodriguez and her amazing team! 🐶👁️

Our sweet girl needs to have her eye removed, and we’re hopeful this will bring her the comfort and relief she deserves. First, we need to schedule her bloodwork to make sure she’s ready for surgery. We’ll keep you updated as we take the next steps! ❤️

💕 A HUGE thank-you to everyone who has donated toward Rosie’s care! Your generosity helps us provide the specialized veterinary treatment our precious dogs need. We are so grateful to have such a compassionate community behind us!

Please keep Rosie in your thoughts as she prepares for surgery. And thank you to Dr. Rodriguez and the entire Animal Eye Care team for taking such wonderful care of our girl! 🐾

At Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue, every precious life matters. 🌈💗

❤️ JABBO’S STORY: LOVE THROUGH IT ALL 🐾

Sweet Jabbo came to Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue alongside Waldo, an elderly Chihuahua, and Sparkles, a pregnant Chihuahua-pit mix. After being returned TWICE because of his collapsed trachea and fistulas, which cause him to cough and snore, Jabbo became one of our long-term residents. 💔

Now, this precious little boy has found something truly special: Zoe and her family, who love him and are giving him the amazing care he deserves. ❤️ Sadly, Jabbo most likely has cancer, and while we wish we could give him a worry-free future, we are so grateful he doesn't have to face whatever comes next without a family by his side.

THIS is why we exist. We are here for the dogs who are overlooked, the ones with medical challenges, and the ones who need a little extra love. They may not all have easy journeys, but every single one deserves to know what it feels like to be cherished. 🐶💕

Please consider donating to help us continue caring for dogs like Jabbo. Medical bills add up quickly, and your generosity allows us to say YES to the dogs who need us most.

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

Because every dog deserves love, comfort, and someone who never gives up on them. ❤️🐾

❤️🐾 THANK YOU FOR HELPING OSCAR! 🐾❤️

Our Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue family has the BIGGEST hearts, and once again, you’ve shown us just how much love and compassion our followers have to give. 🌈💕

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we have raised $310 to help Oscar and his devoted owner, William! 🙏❤️

As many of you know, Oscar was adopted by William less than a month ago. We thought this sweet boy had found his happily-ever-after on a farm surrounded by ducks, chickens, and peacocks. 🦆🐔🦚 Sadly, Oscar became sick, and a veterinary visit revealed a tumor on his spleen.

William has already spent more than $2,000 on diagnostics, and the surgery is estimated to cost over $8,000. 💔 He has stepped up for Oscar and is doing everything he can to give him a chance, but these expenses are overwhelming.

That’s where YOU come in. ❤️

Our $310 is a wonderful start, but Oscar and William still need help. Every single donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to easing William’s financial burden and helping him give Oscar the care he needs.

🐾 Can you spare $5, $10, or $25 to help Oscar? Even a small gift can make a big difference when we all come together.

🙏 Please donate here:
https://www.every.org/rainbow-bridge-hospice-rescue/f/help-oscar-have-a-happy

If you can’t donate, please SHARE this post. You never know who might see it and be able to help.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing beside Oscar and William during this frightening time. You remind us every day that rescue is about more than saving animals — it’s about supporting the people who love them, too. 🌈❤️

Together, we can help Oscar keep fighting. 🐶💗
