My story

Meet River, a gentle soul 1-year old Lab mix with the sweetest heart. She's a petite girl at about 42 pounds. This shy girl has had a tough time adjusting to shelter life, but once she feels safe, her loving personality shines through. She will thrive with a confident canine companion to help her feel secure and build her confidence. River is a quiet at the shelter and keeps her run clean. She enjoys belly rubs, brief yard adventures, and curling up in her bed. She’s still learning that the world isn’t so scary, so she needs a patient home with a secure fenced yard to keep her safe. Because quick movements and loud noises startle her, she will need a calm, adult-only home or one with children 10+ who can respect her need to adjust. If you have a kind heart, a peaceful home, and a furry friend to guide her, River would love to be your loyal companion. Her minimum adoption fee is $300 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).
