My story

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

Available for adoption!



Richard is a bit shy but 100% sweet & adorable! He has been under treatment for balance issues but he is doing well and is expected to be a healthy & happy pup. If you think you can give this precious furbaby a loving family request an application for adoption.

Hi, Richard, here and I have some great news! But first I would like to let you know how I came to be in Ming's care and now ready for a loving home. I was the runt of the litter and not sure how it happened but I could not take a step before I fell over. I heard them say I would have to be put down but I was thinking I was already in south Texas so were was "down". But before that happen I heard a person say I was going on a new adventure, riding in a carrier as a passenger in a big plane with someone they called a "nanny". She was the sister of a Rescue volunteer in Texas who was an employee of SouthWest. The landing was scary but then I was in another big building with lots of loud sound, it was more than a bit scary. My nanny walk me over to another person who introduced herself as Ming's assistant and gave me some hug & kisses but I especially liked the snacks & drink of water she had for me. I cuddled more with another gal in the car as we drove away. I was so excited to finally meet Ming! He was so kind & gentle, running over every time I wanted some kisses. I started the first of many PT sessions with Ming's assistant and remedies for the Homeopath. I heard them say there was no conventional treatment for my condition but in time I would be able to run & play. Well now for my very exciting special news! I have been able to run & play pretty well for a while now but today I was able to walk down the three steps to the grass in the backyard with out falling over! It must have been a big deal because it made everyone very happy. So now I am looking to continue on the next adventure, finding a family of my own as I have lots of cuddles & kisses to give to a family of my very own! Please send an email to the Rescue (WOW.Rescue@yahoo.com) if you have room in your heart & home for the unconditional love I will have for you. This will get you information & an application for my adoption!

More about this rescue

Whitey's Only Wish is a 501(c)(3) Rescue. In honor of Whitey, my precious baby Chow Chow,

In 2011, Whitey was rushed to the ER where the Vet said I needed to prepare as she would not be coming home. I sat by her side in the hospital for three days, promising her if she got better we would help puppies in need. Against all odds she did recover. So in an attempt to keep my promise, and honor her memory our Rescue helps furbabies in need, taking in a Mom & her litter as well as orphaned litters.

I decided in August 2016 to start Whitey's Only Wish Rescue, and it was recognized as a 501(c)(3) in that same month! Whitey is now 14 years old and since her recovery has been a surrogate Mom to more than 200 puppies. Her assistant, Kodie, our 12 year old shepherd/Rottie, helps with the mission as well.
