Story
Meet Yams!  She is a 2 year old labrador retriever mix who weighs 41 lbs.  She is already showing what a wonderful companion she’ll be! She’s making great progress with house-training and rarely has accidents, though she does prefer her person to step outside with her when it’s potty time. Crates aren’t her favorite, but she’s proven to be trustworthy when left loose in her foster home. At night, she’ll happily snooze wherever she pleases, though her top choice is snuggling in bed with her humans. She loves playtime—whether romping in the yard with her canine foster sibling, chasing toys around the house, or settling in with a good bone to chew. Cuddles are always welcome, too. Cats, however, are a bit too tempting for her, so she’ll do best in a home without them or with dog-savvy cats who won’t mind her rough play. She hasn’t met children yet, but her foster believes she’d do well with older kids who can respect her shy, sometimes timid nature. Her foster describes her as friendly, adaptable, happy, playful, and quiet. Despite her young age, she has a calm maturity about her—her favorite pastime is curling up right next to her people for a nap after a little toy time. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who balances play with plenty of snuggles, this sweet girl might just be the perfect fit for your family. Her adoption fee is $300  plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives. To be considered for adoption, you must first submit the application found at:   http://fs16.formsite.com/WishBoneCanineRescue/adoptionapplication/index.html For information about this dog's breed(s), visit: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/abc.htm  Wish Bone Canine Rescue  1303 Morrissey Drive Bloomington, IL 61701 www.wishbonecaninerescue.org           Since its our desire that you have a pet you can enjoy a lifetime of love with you, we take special measures to ensure that the pet is the best match for you and your family.  We require that you complete our online www.wishbonecaninerescue.org (Please give us 24 hours to verify your information). If you have any other questions, you can reach us by email (preferred) at wbcrshelter@gmail.com.  Thank you.November 24, 2025, 8:54 pm

Story
Thea is a beautiful mixed breed pup (estimated DOB 5/10/24) who recently scored a foster home and is thriving in her new environment. Weighing just 56 pounds, she’s a sweet, playful girl with a big personality. While she can be shy when meeting new people, she warms up quickly when allowed to approach on her own terms. Once comfortable, her goofy, bouncy nature and love of life really shine through. She’s especially fond of playing with other dogs and would do best with a canine companion close to her size who enjoys wrestling and roughhousing as much as she does. A confident dog in the home may also help her continue building trust and settling into new environments. Thea is crate trained, potty trained, and sleeps quietly in her crate at night. Her foster family has been working with her on basic training, and she’s already mastered “sit” and “stay” at the door. They’re currently working on “paw” and “down.” Like many puppies her age, Thea is still learning the ropes—chewing, mouthing, and jumping are all part of her normal puppy behavior. She enjoys toys, bones, and has a special fondness for sticks she finds on her walks. She needs daily physical activity to burn off her youthful energy and enjoys yard time, long walks, and play sessions with dogs or toys. Though she hasn’t been around children, loud noises and sudden movements make her uneasy, so a quiet, home with older kids would be the best fit. With patience, continued guidance, and a doggy friend to show her the way, Thea is sure to blossom into a wonderful lifelong companion. Her adoption fee has been sponsored.  There is a $15 rabies registration fee for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
