Meet Wishbone!
The PBS kids’ show likely got the name idea after seeing this handsome guy! He is a fabulous terrier mix. He is smart, can sometimes be a bit stubborn, puts his sniffer to great use, has lots of energy & plays hard. He particularly enjoys rolling in the grass. Once he is tired, he is a champion snuggler.
He needs a little more work on his leash manners as he is strong & eager when he begins but settles and walks great after about 10 minutes.
Wishbone gets along well with other dogs, but he’d thrive best with a calm companion.
No small dogs or cats as he has a prey drive, not surprising given his heritage.
Wishbone has so much love to give & has been waiting a long time for his own family. Could you make his wish come true?
Wishbone has a best friend at the rescue—her name is Molly, a happy pittie mix who always wears a smile, knows her basic commands, and has also been waiting patiently for her forever home. While Wishbone and Molly aren’t bonded, it would be a dream come true if they were adopted together.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
