Description:

Meet Wishbone!

This cute Jack Russell Terrier boy was found tied outside without a shelter. We could not leave him fending for himself. Wishbone is now coming to MARS to find a forever home.

Would you find a place for Lars in your heart and home?

Update from temporary foster:
Wishbone is a very happy little guy! He loves people and is very playful. He has done wonderful with housetraining and crates great when I leave for work. Wishbone is VERY food motivated and would excel in training.

Wishbone is currently in a home with 6 other dogs and 2 cats and does fine. He can be a bit protective of his toys and bones, but responds to correction great. He LOVES to play with co-foster Dixie!

Update 12/23:
Wishbone has the playfulness of a puppy without the destructiveness and potty accidents!He is a fun little guy but is not high strung. If we're chilling, so is he - if we start a game of tug with his toys, he's all in! CHECK OUT HIS NEW VIDEO - Wishbone is playing Apples to Apples!

We let him have free reign while we're at work and he does just fine. In fact, he'd rather not be in a crate. He says that's for babies!

He whooped it up at our holiday party and then was tuckered out! Everyone loved him!

He is VERY food motivated so he will be able to learn whatever his owners want quickly: obedience, tricks, agility.... you name it!

He would do well with children as long as they are old enough to be respectful of him.

This guy would do well in any environment and would make a great lifelong, loyal companion!

Update 1/12:

Wishbone has a new friend, Izzie, a Chihuahua mix girl - another foster pup in his current home. Check out their videos of having fun and playing!

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
