My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please contact Jeff Tarpley (JEFFnTEXARKANA@aol.com) for more information about this pet.

Wishbone and Wanda are the cutest little bonded pair out there. Wishbone is a red piebald Dachshund (or mix). He is about 3 years old and he weighs 15 pounds. Wanda is a female mix breed. She is about 5 years old and she weighs 14 pounds. Both are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, tested heartworm negative and on heartworm preventive. They are ready for adoption. 

Wishbone and Wanda found themselves at a shelter in central Arkansas after their owner passed away. Upon coming to our rescue it was immediately apparent they are a bonded pair. Wishbone was protective of Wanda in the shelter but very loving right away with his rescue family. Wanda was scared and withdrawn at the shelter but opened up and relaxed quickly once in a home. They have been such a fun pair. Wanda had skin issues and hair loss that made her at first look like an older dog, but with some meds, Bravecto and skin sensitive food she has filled out her weight and has grown/is growing hair in all the affected places. Wanda is turning out to be a pretty little gal with an expressive face. Wishbone, healthy from the first, likes to explore and walks better on a leash (Wanda tends to pull). Wishbone and Wanda kennel together at night. They’ve never had a crate or potty accident. Wanda and Wishbone are never far apart. Both are affectionate and love to be cuddlers and couch buddies with their people. They deserve a great home and have plenty to offer in return.
