Wish Bone Canine Rescue

several people broke off from a local rescue that had become, in our opinion, too much about prestige and money. They also weren't doing a good job in caring for the pets physically and mentally. We want to focus on the quality of our work, not quantity. We do rescue simply because it's the right thing to do! I am a certified vet tech so i've always thought that it's kind of my duty to share my talents.

Meet Howie

Meet Howie, the 47-pound bundle of joy with a heart as big as his personality! This charming 4-year-old Patterdale Terrier mix is on a mission to steal your heart and fill your days with endless love and laughter. Howie is the epitome of a canine companion, craving nothing more than to be by your side, soaking up every moment of your company. He can't wait to spend time with his person, whether it's a game of fetch in the backyard (his all-time favorite!), a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood, or cuddling up for a movie. Howie has lots of energy—but when the sun sets, he transforms into the ultimate cuddle buddy, content to snuggle up on the couch and bask in the warmth of your affection. He's a loyal and devoted friend, seeking a single owner or a loving couple who can reciprocate his love and provide him with the attention and playtime he craves. Housetrained and well-mannered, Howie is a dream companion in the home. He prefers to sleep on his cozy dog bed in the bedroom, and while he may not be a fan of long periods in a crate, his good behavior makes it unnecessary. When it comes to socializing, Howie is a pro, getting along famously with most dogs after a proper introduction and proving himself to be a gentle and patient playmate for children. He was around cats as a young pup, but hasn't been exposed to them in recent years, so we don't know how he would do with feline friends. Howie is looking for a home with a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and play freely, as he's not a fan of being on a tie-out. He loves having his person accompany him outdoors during the day, but he's perfectly content to venture out on his own at night. If you're ready to welcome a furry friend who will fill your life with boundless affection, endless playtime, and unforgettable memories, then Howie is the perfect match for you. Apply to meet this lovable pup and discover the joy of having a loyal companion who will always have your back, wagging tail and all!  His minimum adoption fee is $295, plus a $15 rabies transfer fee for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
