Story
This is Lexi! She was found as a stray and really needed a haircut. Though we know almost nothing about her past, this little 3 year old LOVES people. The second she got to her foster home she was jumping and wagging at anyone who looked at her. Even though she doesn’t seem to enjoy fetch or ripping her toys in half, whenever you come home she will show you her toy, a sock, or any soft thing she can grab in her tiny mouth. She is house trained, enjoys car rides, is quiet, and nondestructive. If you want a small dog who loves to walk, cuddle on the couch, and has occasional adorable zoomies, then Lexi’s your girl! The adoption fee for Lexi 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 Lexi 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
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Friday – A Sweet Little Maltese Mix Looking for His Forever Home Friday came into rescue as a stray, and now this sweet little guy is ready to find a family who will give him love. He is currently underweight and will need a family committed to helping him get healthy and maintain a good weight. Friday is a Maltese mix with a heart as sweet as can be. He is gentle, happy, and incredibly loving. He enjoys being held and cuddled, although he can get a little wiggly when he decides he is ready to explore and wants down. He has a wonderful personality and is sure to bring lots of love and happiness to his future home. Friday gets along great with other dogs - we are unsure about cats. As with many dogs coming into rescue, he will need some help learning the ropes in his new home. Potty training and basic training will need continued work. Because of his Maltese mix coat, Friday will also need regular grooming and brushing to keep him comfortable and looking his best.  Friday is neutered, 4DX negative, microchipped, and current on vaccines. He is also current on ProHeart 12 for heartworm prevention and Bravecto for flea and tick prevention. His adoption fee is $350. Friday is currently in Texas but can travel to Washington, Portland, Oregon, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, Kentucky, and locations along the East Coast. If transportation is needed, there is an additional $250 transport fee. Due to state regulations, dogs cannot travel to Rhode Island or Massachusetts. Ready to give Friday the loving forever home he deserves? Apply to adopt at www.adoggie4you.org.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 29, 2026, 12:34 pm
