Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Introducing Wishbone, a handsome Chiweenie boy. He has lots of energy and needs a fenced yard to run around in. He LOVES to play, whether it's chasing after butterflies or with a myriad of toys (be prepared with a full assortment for his choosing!) After playing, he usually likes to sunbathe in his bed by a window so that he can protect the house. One of his favorite things is cuddling on the couch while watching TV with his people. He may be very protective of his humans, he just needs time for making sure strangers aren't cause for alarm. He has his quirks and he's proud of it! Wishbone doesn’t mind being in his crate to sleep as long as he knows that his humans are around. He is a bit too spicy for kids, so we are seeking an adult-only home for him. He has lived with a cat and did well, but the cat was tolerant of his antics.
Wishbone can fill your days with laughter and love, but only if you can provide him with the attention, training, supervision, and structure he needs. First-time or timid dog owners would do well to start with a less challenging pooch. Do yourself and Wishbone a favor by considering carefully whether this is the right boy for you. If it is, you're in for a wild but wonderful ride.
Wishbone is a Chiweenie/mix weighing 12 lbs and was born approximately 12-29-19. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, given flea/tick preventive, dewormed & started on heartworm preventive. Adoption fee is $300 to help offset the many expenses we have for vetting costs.
We rely strictly on adoption fees and donations to continue to save the lives of orphaned & abandoned pets; 100% goes towards their care.
