Story
*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE FRIDAYS and SATURDAYS *** Total Adoption Fee: $895 This includes our standard adoption fee of $395 plus an additional required $500 tax-deductible donation. Why the additional donation? Dogs with highly desirable traits—such as non-shedding coats or popular breeds—help us fund lifesaving care for dogs who need it most, including nursing moms, dogs with traumatic injuries, and those requiring heartworm treatment (i.e. dogs who require more intensive medical treatment and care prior to adoption). Your generosity makes this possible! Meet Georgie! Georgie is an adorable Maltese / Poodle mix with the sweetest soulful eyes and a signature scruffy look that gives him endless charm. He is past the puppy stage and has a calm but still playful energy. This handsome little guy appears to be potty trained and has good house manners when kept on a routine. He has gotten along well with other fun size dogs while in foster -settling in quickly. Georgie is a good eater and happy for each meal - he has been eating Science Diet Small Bites while in foster. He was not crated while in foster and was proven to be trustworthy unsupervised. Georgie is a very good boy! At night, sweet Georgie will curl up right in bed and snooze.

Dogs with highly desirable traits—such as non-shedding coats or popular breeds—help us fund lifesaving care for dogs who need it most, including nursing moms, dogs with traumatic injuries, and those requiring heartworm treatment (i.e. dogs who require more intensive medical treatment and care prior to adoption). Your generosity makes this possible! The name Naida (pronounced NAY-duh) is rooted in Greek mythology and its meaning is “water nymph”. A symbol of both grace and strength. Our little Naida is all that. Plus she is a fun, sweet and affectionate young lady. Naida loves to lean in, get up close and is happy to snuggle up next to you or curl up in your lap. She has not had a ton of experience on leash but is ready to learn. Potty training is a work in progress as she is learning her routine and it helps having a consistent schedule. Naida is crate trained and sleeps through the night in her crate, although she would love to curl up next to you in bed if you let her! Some of Naida's favorite things are treats, toys and lots of pets. Plus, she never tires of belly rubs and head scratches! Come and meet this sweet little nymph at Saving Grace!

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
