About Wishbone

Meet Wishbone, an energetic senior smooth-coated Russell Terrier who's ready to find his forever home! Born on September 19, 2016, he recently joined Murci's Mission Animal Rescue after being picked up as a stray. Wishbone has been through a lot; he arrived underweight with chronic skin allergies and has just had significant dental work done. Currently, he’s on a regimen of medication and will need to continue receiving treatments, including weekly medicated baths. His adoption comes with vital supplies, but prospective adopters should be prepared for the ongoing costs related to his allergies, which require medication. Despite his challenges, Wishbone is a charming little guy who gets along well with other animals and gentle children. He is both leash and crate trained and has a playful side — he enjoys wearing sweaters and even a baseball cap! Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, he's ready for his golden years filled with love and comfort. Wishbone's adoption fee is waived since he is a senior. To adopt him, please submit an application through Murci's Mission. Thank you for considering this sweet boy!
