Story
Introducing Wyatt! Wyatt is 10 month old Shepard Mix. He is young, spunky, and full of fun energy! He enjoys going on long walks and playing with toys. He will need some help with his obedience training, but he is very smart and a fast learner! He would make a wonderful family dog, as he gets along with other dogs and children. Thank you! The NAWS Dog Adoption Program operates as a rescue versus a shelter. We believe in matching the right dog with the appropriate family based on each specific dog or family's needs. To achieve this, we believe in spending the appropriate amount of time with each family to allow for enough interaction time with potential adopters. This cannot be achieved if people stop by unexpectedly to meet our dogs.

Story
Meet Quincy! This handsome 2 year old came to us all the way from Tennessee! He keeps his crate very clean and gets along well with other dogs. He has a lot of energy and loves to play, but also calms down and just wants to snuggle. Quincy would make a great addition to any family!

Story
Meet Lilo – The Blanket-Burrowing, Snack-Loving Sweetheart! 🐾 At 7 years young, this tiny Chihuahua is the perfect mix of playful and snuggly. Lilo may start off a little shy, but give her a gentle hello (and maybe a tasty treat), and you’ll soon discover her goofy, curious, and oh-so-loving personality. Lilo is: ✨ Dog & Cat Friendly – As long as her furry friends respect her space, she’ll happily share her home and may even invite them to a game of chase or tug. ✨ Housebroken & Crate Trained – She’s a pro at both, though she’ll tell you the crate is only acceptable if there’s a cozy blanket for burrowing. (Blankets = life.) ✨ Playful but Chill – Zoomies in the yard? Yes. Chasing toys with her foster siblings? Absolutely. Couch naps and cuddle sessions right beside her human? Her favorite. ✨ Smart & Eager – She’s mastered “sit” and is working on “stay.” With positive training and encouragement, she’ll keep impressing you! Lilo is the definition of a loyal little shadow—quietly sneaking into the room just to stand beside you, always happiest when she’s near her people. She adores mealtime, snack-time, and blanket-time equally, and she’ll shower you with her quirky, sweet affection in return for a forever home. If you’re looking for a curious, playful, and ridiculously cuddly companion, Lilo is ready to burrow into your heart (and your blankets). 💕 The adoption fee for Lilo 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 Lilo 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 member.

Story
🌸 Meet Chloe – The Sweetest Little Lady Around! Age: 15 years young Breed: Chihuahua mix (best guess!) Gender: Female Don’t let Chloe’s age fool you — this petite sweetheart still has plenty of pep in her step! She may be 15, but she acts more like she’s 8 or 10. Chloe enjoys gentle playtime with her foster dog friends, leisurely walks (she’s great on leash and never pulls), and cozy naps under her favorite blankets — sometimes she even covers herself up like a little burrito! Chloe is wonderfully well-mannered: she’s housebroken, non-destructive, and doesn’t need a crate. She gets along beautifully with other friendly dogs and enjoys the company of calm, respectful children (school-aged and up would be her preference). She loves meeting new people and dogs — always polite and sweet. She’s currently living in a foster home with two other dogs, where she fits right in — sometimes playing gently with her younger foster sister, and quietly hanging out with the older one. Chloe has adapted to her routine perfectly and knows when it’s mealtime or bedtime. Chloe’s favorite things include: 💛 Being talked to and doted on by her people 💛 Gentle playtime and short walks 💛 Chasing treats and toys 💛 Snuggling under blankets and resting her little head on your lap Chloe would thrive in a quieter home with lots of love, soft blankets, and kind humans who will cherish her golden years. She’s a lovely, gentle soul who gives back tenfold the love she receives. If you’re looking for a sweet companion with a heart full of love and a touch of spunk, Chloe might just be your perfect match! 💕

Story
💕 Meet Greta! Breed: Westie mix (possibly with Corgi) Age: 4 years Gender: Female Greta is a happy, playful little lady who’s equal parts sweet, goofy, and full of life! She loves meeting new people and wins everyone over with her wagging tail and big smile. Greta’s favorite activities include playing with her toys, being outside, showing off her “Sit,” and enthusiastically “pouncing” in front of you to remind you it’s time to throw the toy again! She loves a good chew toy, so she’ll be thrilled to have a steady supply of sturdy chew toys to keep her busy. When playtime’s over, Greta is super snuggly and loves curling up close for cuddles. She’s housebroken, non-destructive, and can be left uncrated without any trouble. Greta would love a fenced yard where she can run and play safely. Her foster says they’re really going to miss her sweetness — she’s been such a joy to have around. Three words that describe Greta: Playful. Sweet. Goofy. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’ll make you laugh, keep you active, and snuggle up when the day’s done, Greta is your girl! 🐾💖 The adoption fee for Greta 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 Greta please complete our adoption questionnaire at www.wishuponarescue.org/adopt.
