Meet Wishbone Wishbone has a wish... and it's to find his forever family! Wishbone is an adorable two year old American Bulldog/Jack Russell mix. Day after day he waits and hopes that today will be his day to go home. For a young dog with a lot to offer, he doesn't understand why his forever family hasn't come for him. With winter fast approaching, Wishbone doesn't want to spend his days behind bars sleeping on a cold concrete floor. He wants to be in a warm safe house with people who love him, helping them get ready for the holidays. Wishbone was surrendered to Animal Control by his owner when they no longer needed him for target practice. Yes, that's right! His owner shot him with buckshot sometime during his young life and then dropped him off at Animal Control when he was no longer needed. Poor little Wishbone received a double whammy -- a behind full of pellets and an uncertain future at AC. With his time running out at AC, we scooped him up and brought him into the safety of our shelter. He arrived on June 27, 2018. Wishbone has a fun and outgoing personality, and he's trusting despite all he's been through. He's on the smaller size with a solid build. He has a gorgeous white coat with a brown patch that covers his laughing eyes. Wishbone has an impish grin which he turns on you in the hopes you'll take him out for a walk and play with him. Wishbone is full of good cheer and shelter life is terribly confining for him. He has boundless energy, loves to play and is full of puppy excitement. He settles down once he knows he'll get to be outside and run around or go for a walk. He walks well on a leash, but often turns around to check in with his handler for kisses. He loves attention and will turn over for a belly rub if you can get him to sit still long enough. Wishbone is selective about which dogs he likes. A positive meet and greet will be a must for any potential adopter. Given Wishbone's history, he's most likely not housetrained, but Wishbone is very smart and with the right guidance, patience and training, he'd learn quickly. Wishbone is neutered, vaccinated and has tested negative for heartworms. Maybe you'll make Wishbone's wish come true by giving him a loving home in time for the holidays.
