My story

Meet Shad, a 5-year-old Malamute mix who weighs in at a sturdy 73 pounds. Shad recently got a fresh start—literally—as his matted coat and tick infestation required a full shave. While his signature fluffy look will return in time, his sweet personality is already shining through. Shad is a low-energy guy who enjoys lounging around the house and going on short, leisurely walks. He’s a cuddly companion who loves being close to his people, and while he doesn’t know basic commands just yet, he’s eager to please and would benefit from some gentle training. Shad walks beautifully on a leash and is friendly with everyone he meets. He’s also dog-friendly, though he typically only engages in play when prompted by another dog. He doesn’t love going into his crate, but once he’s in, he settles down just fine. In his foster home, he often chooses to sleep wherever he pleases. Shad rarely barks, but when he’s hungry or ready to go outside, he’ll let you know with some excited vocalizations. Shad hasn’t been around cats or children, so we’re not sure how he’d do with them, but he’s shown himself to be a loving, gentle boy who’s ready to find a forever home where he can continue to blossom. His adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents.  He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives. To be considered for adoption, you must first submit the application found at:   http://fs16.formsite.com/WishBoneCanineRescue/adoptionapplication/index.html For information about this dog's breed(s), visit: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/abc.htm 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).
