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
Myloh is 9 years old. I have had him since he was 8 weeks old. He has always had his brother’s company (My other dog Bruno, that is also listed on here). I would like for them both to go to the same home if possible to not separate them since that is both all they have ever known. I can no longer give Myloh or Bruno the time and attention that they deserve. I got both of them when I was 18 years old, and now I have two small children and a full time job. They both deserve a safe and loving home.

Story
I have had Bruno since he was 10 weeks old. I got him when I was 18 years old. Now, I have 2 small children and a full time job. I can’t give him the same amount of time and attention that I used to. He deserves a safe and loving home. He is 10 years old but still full of energy and in good health.

Story
🐾 Meet Masha & Bear! Masha and Bear came to us together and are learning that life can be a little softer—and a whole lot less scary. 💚 🎀 Masha — Female, approximately 4 years old 🐻 Bear — Male, approximately 3 years old These two are small white dogs with naturally soft, fluffy coats. Based on their size, coat type, and appearance, we believe they may be Shih Tzu, Maltese, or similar small-breed mixes. They arrived severely matted, which left us with very limited grooming options. Both had to be shaved down for their comfort, so don’t let their current haircuts fool you! Once they’ve had some time to decompress, they’ll be ready for a proper spa day to really feel fancy. ✨ Their coats should grow back beautifully—right now they’re just little blank canvases waiting for their glow-up! Masha and Bear clearly know each other and find comfort in being together, but they do not appear to be bonded and can absolutely be adopted separately. Both are a little shy and cautious right now, so we think they would do best in calmer homes where they can decompress, build confidence, and learn to trust at their own pace. Quick movements and lots of activity can be overwhelming while they’re adjusting, so a home without small children would give them the opportunity to come out of their shells without feeling pressured or overwhelmed. For now, we’re giving them the time and space they need to realize they’re safe. Soon enough, we think we’ll be looking at two fluffy, fancy little dogs wondering why anyone ever let them live any other way. 💚🐾✨

Story
"Gosh!" This little guy is ready to steal your heart! Meet Napoleon Dynamite, an adorable 6-year-old Maltese mix who weighs in at under 10 pounds but has a BIG personality! One of his absolute favorite things in life? PUP CUPS! 🍦 He gets super excited when pulling into the drive-thru and knows exactly when something yummy might be coming his way. Who doesn't love a little treat run?! Napoleon came to us in pretty rough shape and was extremely matted, so he needed a much-needed haircut and makeover. He's looking like a whole new little man now, and we think he's pretty darn handsome! ❤️ Now that he's had his fresh start, Napoleon is ready to find a forever family who will spoil him, love him, and maybe make a few extra stops at the drive-thru along the way. Vote for Pedro? Nah, we're voting for Napoleon! 🐾💕
