Story
FOSTERED IN: Oak Forest, IL 60452 ESTIMATED DOB: 2017 WEIGHT: 8 lbs KIDS: Visitors Only DOGS: Yes, Calm Only CATS: Unknown HISTORY: Pickles came to us from an Animal Control Facility. ABOUT: Pickles is a special little girl who will need a very special adopter who is willing to manage her heart condition. (See more below) Pickles is such a sweet little girl. She can be a little apprehensive of new people at first but after a few moments she wants everyone to give her love and attention. Pickles has a special affinity for men! Pickles will bring love and joy to any home that adopts her. Pickles is housetrained, does well in the car, and walks well on leash. She is generally very quiet and only barks at normal dog things like the doorbell or an unusual/loud noise. She is crated in her foster home and does very well. She actually spent most of her time in her crate the first few days, so she does appreciate having a safe place to call her own. Her foster home said she is such a good, easy dog. Her foster said it is hard to remember she is sick because she is so happy and full of life. Pickles does well with other dogs, but can only be placed with calm dogs who will not encourage excessive activity from her. We also think Pickles will be best served in a calm, adult-only home due to her medical needs and restrictions. She will likely be fine with gentle child visitors. Pickles has a congenital disease called Reverse Shunting Patent Ductus Arteriosus. Her life expectancy was listed as 1-24 months on her cardiology report, but because she responded to the medication well, we are hopeful she will have a longer life span. Her foster home said the medication made a noticeable difference. Pickles is already quite the survivor at 6 years old! Her cardiology report states that ⅔ of dogs with her condition do not survive past 1 year. Pickles will need an adopter committed to her medication regimen as she receives 5 different medications. The cost of her medications is approximately $80-90/month. Her food also needs to be specific due to elevated kidney levels. She is currently doing well on Purina Pro Plan dry. Pickles is also to remain on an exercise restricted life, she should avoid heavy activity, a lot of excitement, and temperature extremes. Her adopter will need to expect to keep up with regular veterinary visits including potential future cardiology appointments if/as needed. Pickles is not spayed, and cannot be safely sedated for the surgery. Her heat cycles will need to be carefully managed. If you think you have the room in your heart and home for this special-needs girl, more information on our adoption process and our adoption application can be found at www.luluslockerrescue.org.

Story
Cooper would be perfect in a home where someone is retired or works from home. He loves to snuggle and chill all day. We’re an active couple and Cooper was not a fan of long walks or hiking so we got him a backpack to bring him along. He usually went everywhere with us and our other dog. We are rehoming him due to behavioral issues with our son. We have given it two years and he continues to mark on our son’s stuff. He has never bitten him so I would not consider him not kid friendly but he’s jealous of not being center of attention. We’ve tried to deal with it but now that we are now living with my parents it’s becoming more of an issue. He’s a good dog but doesn’t understand we don’t have the time or ability to go back to same lifestyle we had prior.

Story
Hi, my name is Beatrice! "Bea” for short. I am a 9 year old chihuahua rat terrier. I wasn’t dealt the best hand early on and along the way I lost a leg but now my life is a ray of sunshine. I love people and will stop at nothing to steal your heart. I recently found out I can bark (I wasn't allowed to in my previous home) and occasionally love showing off my new skill. Good thing my Mom says I have the sweetest little bark. I move around great but need someone who will help with stairs. I love being outside and with my foster mom/family. I prefer adult company especially ones who like a lap friend. Do you have a lap I cuddle on? The adoption fee for Bea is $400. This donation helps to cover veterinary expenses including spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations. Wish Upon a Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, foster based animal rescue. If you would like to meet Bea please complete our adoption questionnaire at www.wishuponarescue.org/adopt. We will review your responses and be in contact to schedule a meet and greet at a time and place convenient for your family and our team members.
