Our poor guy, Skor, is happy to be getting a visit from his chiropractor tomorrow afternoon! He is 'out at the poll' which is:
'A common issue that occurs in the horse is being “out at the poll”. This term is a generalized term used to describe when a horse has a subluxation or imbalance at the joint between the first cervical vertebrae and the skull, and sometimes including the second cervical vertebra.'
(Sourced from: www.heavenlygaitsequinemassage.com)
He does these big head swings to let us know when he isn't feeling good. Such a smart boy. We love him to pieces. Skor's got some joint issues and behavioral issue (like 'cribbing') from serving his young years as a racehorse in Florida. They start horses way too young and go too hard with them before their bodies are fully developed. Unfortunately it's common for racehorses to have the issues that Skor has.

Evening walks and thoughts about the World with adoptable Kessie. 💓🙏 It is so important to support local animal rescue organizations and animal law enforcement/law advancement organizations such as Animal Law Defense and Humane Action Pittsburgh to really make a difference for animals in the community. Every act of kindness and care really matters. 🐾 (Pittsburgh Local)

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping'” -Fred Rogers 💙🐾🙏
We are so grateful to the Gilbert family for fostering Kessie, for adopting the girls and for saving Andy from going to a shelter.
Fostering and adopting animals saves lives and gives hope to a broken system and broken hearts.

Happy Dog Day! 😎

Kessie's video application to be Ohnorman's 'Chief Treat Officer'. If she would win, she'd make videos for Oh Norman trying & testing out their new treats and toys!
We're hoping this could get her some exposure for her forever home search! Kessie would be a working girl with a one year treat tester contract. She said all her earnings ($10,000) would be donated to Wishbone's so that we can help other pups like her find safety, love and homes! 😉💓🐾
Fingers crossed for yah, girl 🤞

Before Rock and Rebecca go out on their adventures, Rock gets to pick his bandana that he wears. What a beautiful day to feel colorful, buddy!
Rock is a very lucky puppy who was rescued and adopted by our dear friend and supporter, Rebecca, through Wishbone's years ago. 🍀
She has done so much training and work with him and shows him all the love in the World. She's an art teacher and has shown him so much patience and exposure.....we're not surprised he turned into such an intelligent and intuitive young man.
Thanks for the video and picture 📸 Rock is rocking our Wishbone's tie dye bandana! Made our day even brighter. 🌞🐾

We CANNOT even begin to express how sweeeeeeeeeet Mr Peanut is. He craves love and attention so much, his favorite time of day is definitely his play & cuddle time outside of his pen. He truly deserves to be someone's baaaaby. He is so sweet to all creatures and people. But he definitely wants a Mom or Dad to be attached to who can give him so much affection. He deserves it.
Silly, sweet and bursting with love. He's sure to build your spirit and make you smile. We cannot express what an amazing rabbit he is. He truly deserves a happiest ending! 🐰❤️🙌🌈🙏

Last week, these two tiny cuties came into our rescue! They were bought from a pet store by their owners, but big life changes popped up for them and they no longer had the energy to make the time for these sweet boys anymore.
Rats are really friendly, smart and fascinating! They love attention and make most excellent pets! For the most part, they're very easy to maintain. These boys are a little more shy (especially the little gray guy in the back) but they're going to get a lot of attention and love to get them ready for forever homes. These 2 are bonded and will have to be adopted together.
If a 'rattie' strikes your interest, please stop by our fundraiser on Saturday to meet our guest rescue, @undergroundsqueaks ! They have rats of all kinds, rabbits, chinchillas, guinea pigs, turtles, you name it!
Hope to see you there! 🐭❤️

'No take, only throw' -Harvey
Harvey is such a sweet, silly, goofy, fun, happy, energetic girl! She is incredibly loving, loves adventures, cuddles, her dog pals, is cool with kitties and animals of all sorts. We've had Harvey since October and she's beyond ready to be a part of somebody's family. ♥️🙏🐾😎⚾️
'Take me home and love me forever, plz.' -Harvey

We made a post last week about a sweet, 9 year old black lab who was in urgent need of a home due to some very unfortunate circumstances. Our dear friend, Lou (who owns and operates Dom's Gulf-now 'Clark'-gas station and mechanic shop on McNeilly Road) called us right away inquiring about Lily!
Well, Lou took the 'leash' (haha), called her family, set up a drop off time and as you can see, the Clark station has a new pack member!
Lily had another lab companion who passed away a few months ago and her whole World continued to flip. Lou has two pup friends, already, one being a spunky young lab, Izzy and an older little fella named Bear. Lou loves his dogs more than anything! We cannot express how lucky Lily is. 🍀❤️🐾
Many stories aren't as happy as Lily's is turning out. Many dogs who enter shelters that aren't specifically 'no kill' unfortunately do not come out alive into happy homes.
We are so grateful to Lou and crew at the Clark station for always supporting our business, sanctuary and for the love they have for animals and their dogs. 😇🙌🥰🙏🐾😎

Dogs are so good ❤️
Kessie deserves to be someone's most loyal best friend. We love her so much and really hope that she finds a home with someone who needs her as much as she needs them. 🙏🐾

Sweet, loveable and kissable Peanut wanted to thank Myndi & Becky for both stepping up and donating $61.00 each to pay off Rex's medical debts. We are so truly touched and blessed for your love and support. These animals could not be helped without you.
Not only are we now out of debt, but, we are able to buy Peanut his pellets and are able to afford to buy our foster dogs their food with your donations. 🐾🙏🐰
We are going to be setting Peanut up, soon, with a Veterinary appointment to get a second opinion on his lung condition (he's been fantastic-he runs around and plays without sneezing and coughing fits most of the time-but does occasionally still have fits, as we think it's a chronic disease that can be managed very well but is incurable).
We also have flea&tick meds to restock on, as well, so please stay tuned and we hope you plan to visit us at our big Spring fundraiser in May! 🦋🌞💕
