Story

How about this little diva! Bella just arrived from California and is going to be a great cuddle bug for her forever family! She is estimated to be a 3 year old Maltese mix that weighs just under 15lbs. Our rescue partner says she gets along with other dogs in her 20+ play group and is a fun, sweet girl! Foster home update: Bella is a very sweet girl who loves to be on your lap and loves kids of all ages! She gets along well with dogs her own size and even cats, but not "bigger" dogs. A fenced yard would be wonderful because if there is a door left open, she will try to take a 'walk-a-bout' without you! We recommend training for all our dogs! **Breed or size (once fully grown) is a 'best guess' and is not guaranteed since they arrived into rescue without either parent. **Magnificent Mutts is an all foster home based rescue and meets are held by appointment with the entire family in attendance. Please ensure your current pets are up to date with vetting, have landlord/HOA approval and are prepared to take your new family member home at the adoption appointment. Thank you for your interest! If you are interested in adoption, please complete the "Application to Adopt" which can be accessed from this link: ( www.magnificentmutts.org ) No phone calls please, emails only. Adoption donations range between $400-$450 (cash only), unless otherwise noted. Prices are subject to change, please contact for specific adoption donation. Please visit www.magnificentmutts.org for the online dog application. June 2, 2026, 8:13 pm

Story

Meet Gremlin – A Playful Little Lap Dog Gremlin is a 3-year-old Maltese mix who weighs 12 pounds and has a fun, loving personality packed into a tiny body. He’s house trained and currently does great in a puppy playpen setup with his cozy dog bed instead of a crate. This sweet boy loves playing with other dogs and enjoys squeaky toys, according to his foster mom, who says he does wonderfully with her two Chihuahuas. He would likely enjoy having a canine companion in his forever home. Gremlin also enjoys car rides, walks nicely on leash, and absolutely loves curling up in your lap for cuddles. While he barks at the cat in his foster home, they haven’t had close interactions, so we’re unsure how he would truly do with cats. He also hasn’t been exposed to kids in our care. Described as friendly, adaptable, playful, and loyal, Gremlin is the kind of dog who could fit into many different home environments. While not required, a fenced yard would be a dream come true for him so he could safely explore and play. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful companion who loves both toys and snuggles, Gremlin may be the perfect match. His minimum adoption fee is $400 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives. For information about this dog's breed(s), visit: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/abc.htm To fill out our adoption application, go to: http://fs16.formsite.com/WishBoneCanineRescue/adoptionapplication/index.html 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.June 2, 2026, 7:31 pm
