Story
Little Lovely Luna, yes little at 75ish pounds, is a super sweet and silly girl that catches the eye of people everywhere she goes. Her hippo like look and couch potato personality always collects admirers. And she is here for it! Luna is a social girl that loves meeting people, and especially loves men. Being able to spend time with the people she loves is of top priority to our beauty queen. When she isn't asking for love or giving you the most gentle kisses, she loves bully sticks to chew. Luna will take a squeaky toy but is not really sure what to do with them. Maybe shell figure it out one day! Luna knows sit and takes cookies and treats so softly. This is such an important skill when living in a home with children and she just seems to be such a natural at it. Luna likes exploring new things but prefers to have someone by her side while she does so. She is still warming up to items like vacuums, but then again we all know a dog who has an arch nemesis vacuum in their home, too! Some of her favorite activities outside of being the best house hippo there is is being in her backyard chasing cicadas. She keeps her crate clean and likes to listen to piano music while in it. Luna would do fine as a single dog, but could also share the home with a dog that is a good fit for her. Luna enjoys hanging out with her foster mom in her office, on her blanket of course. She also is child friendly and loves to snuggle with her fosters 9-year-old son. Give little Lovely Luna a chance, and her endless devotion and silly nature will keep you smiling every day. The adoption fee for Luna 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 Luna 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 members.

This funky little man is Leo. He is a happy, goofy boy who loves attention. Leo looks like a pit but short and long, which makes him even more lovable! He rolls around for pets and hugs and prefers to be a velcro dog 90% of the time. He is people-friendly and dog friendly. He would need to be tested with cats. Leo is just under 50lbs and is around 4.5 years old. He's hoping for someone who is active and is willing to work on leash manners and jumping.

Story
Hello, This is Diesel! He is like your typical 3 year old toddler but with 4 legs and is not neutered. Hes clingy yet independent. Hard-headed but will listen when he needs to. A ball of energy but when is time to lay down - he'll get comfy and knock out (definitely snores sometimes). He is crate trained but doesnt like being in there for long periods of time and will normally eat inside the crate. Hes a destructer of toys for sure but not too quick to mess with furniture. Very playful, loves tug a war & catch me if you can with his ball. Hes super friendly but a tad jumpy - he can be around kids just under supervision. Hes such a sweet soul and to depart with him is eating us alive but he deserves so much more than what we can provide for him. Hopefully he can bring as much joy to you as he has us!

Story
Billy, Billy, Billy! The favorite amongst police officers. Our baby boy is the most handsome guy with piercing greyish eyes and a personality as big as the moon! Billy was a stray that was never claimed and sat for months in the police station. We were luckily able to find a great foster home for him and he has now completed 8 sessions of training with our hand-picked trainer for manners and leash walking. He will need continued work on greeting people and leash walking - FYI. He knows sit, kennel, paw, stay, and down and is house-trained, crate-trained and is working on a release command. Billy is a foodie and his favorite things to eat are....STRAWBERRIES AND BLUEBERRIES! This dude loves people and he especially loves his human foster sister who is 8 yrs old. He is good with kids and loves to be in the center of their shenanigans. He isn't fond of other animals so he must be in a home with no other dogs or cats. Children should be sturdy or 5 and up. He is known to steal kids toys as his own, but my mom always said that if its on the floor, its fair game! The human neighbors like to play with Billy over the fence. He brings his ball to the fence where the neighbor will pick up and throw the ball for hours with him. Billy likes to Netflix and nap, get belly rubs, play fetch, and eat chicken jerky! Billy also has some funny quirks - he makes alien sounds, likes to flip his water bowl or food bowl to let you know he's empty, he will let you know he has to potty when he won't get out of your personal space. Billy is learning to be less mouthy - so an assortment of chew toys, non-rawhide bones and licky mats are a must.

Story
I adopted this handsome guy at a shelter when I was living in Colorado. He’s about 2 1/2 years old and the sweetest pup with soooooooo many cuddles to give! He really is such a sweetheart, it is sad that we have to let him go. He has anxiety and with a baby in the house now, he’s better in a home where he’s getting all the attention. He does good with our other dog and is a good boy at the dog parks. I don’t know how he would be around cats as we don’t have any. He’s been an apartment dog for as long as I’ve had him and he walks good on leash. If you’re interested in this cutie pie feel free to reach out! No adoption fee just want him in a good home Email me at romeorun226@yahoo.com if you have any questions, serious inquiries only please.
