Wishbone

Meet Wishbone — A Little Dog with a Big Heart Full of Hope<br/><br/>Wishbone is a small but mighty Chihuahua mix with eyes full of stories and a heart quietly waiting to trust again. She came to us from the Devore Shelter alongside her companion Pretty Girl, both rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation. Labeled "aggressive" due to fear-based biting, Wishbone was a tough cookie when she first arrived — and yes, our bite gloves got quite the workout!<br/><br/>But beneath the fear and hesitation was something we could see from the start: a dog who wants. She wants to be loved. She wants to be pet. She wants the treats, the snuggles, the comfort of a safe place to call home. With time, space, and patience, Wishbone has begun to open up. In our dog yard, she's found her stride among her canine companions — making friends, finding her tail wags, and showing us glimpses of the joyful pup inside.<br/><br/>People are still a work in progress for her. She's cautious, reserved, and needs someone who understands that healing takes time. But she's worth every bit of it. Wishbone would do best in an adult-only home where life is calm and predictable. Another confident dog in the house could really help her continue to blossom. She's still learning to walk on a leash, so a secure yard or private outdoor space would be ideal for her training journey.<br/><br/>She's made great progress: she now goes into a crate at mealtimes and knows how to retreat when she needs her space — a quiet sign that she's starting to understand safety.<br/><br/>We named her Wishbone, not just for her size or shape, but because we know she's been making one big wish since the day she left that shelter — for someone kind and patient to walk into her life and help her discover how beautiful life can really be.<br/><br/>Could that someone be you?
