Story
This is Rusty he was brought to us by a friend as a temporary situation which turned into permanent/long term. He was found abused and chained up outside without food or water. We rehabilitated him back to healthy and gave him a good doggie life for the last 1.5 year. However, we have moved to a smaller home and no yard for him to run freely. He is a good dog but needs more attention as he loves people. He is crate trained and stays in one while we work or leave the house as he doesn't like being alone. He is house trained but still likes to chew when no one is looking. He does fine when he has toys and bones. Very loving and affectionate we just simply dont have the time or space for him anymore sadly and would like to find him a good home.

Story
Meet Tahani – A Gentle Soul Ready to Be Loved Tahani is a 1-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix who weighs 33 pounds and is as sweet as they come. This little angel craves love and connection and is happiest when she’s close to her people, soaking up affection and cozy moments. She has a gentle, tender nature and takes treats politely, already knowing how to sit on cue. Tahani is currently underweight and will need a family committed to helping her gain weight and continue to blossom into a healthy, happy girl. Tahani would be happiest as your one and only, where she can have all the love to herself. She may also do well with a calm, easygoing dog, but active or overly playful dogs tend to make her nervous. If you’re looking for a soft-hearted, loving companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Tahani is ready to find the safe, caring home she deserves. Her minimum adoption fee is $200 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. 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).

Story
I got Rocka 8 years ago and she is a very sweet gentle dog. She has no sense of personal space and love to be next to everyone. She is 9 years old and I have to rehome her due to severe allergies. I just want her to find a loving home who will take care of her. Overall she’s healthy. The only thing she has going on is she has a mass that has grown on her leg and it has been checked out and it’s not affecting her overall health. But it’s in a very difficult spot so it hasn’t been removed.
