☀️🐾Take Me Along Thursday!🚗🍔

Nobody loves an adventure like Spot. Always up for a good time, this fabulous boy has a zest for life that's unmatched, whether it's going for hikes through the woods, splashing around in a pool, or scarfing down a hamburger (the ideal day would include all three of these😁).

Perfectly suited to an active home, Spot does well with most other dogs, kids (older is better due to his size and energy), and even has potential to live with cats. He is a solid running buddy, swim partner, coffee run co-pilot -- you name it, he's up for it!

Spot is coming up on his one-year anniversary at the shelter and is the longest resident not in foster care. But that has not dimmed his light at all! He knows the right home is out there somewhere, just waiting to take him on new adventures.

🌟Glow-Up Wednesday: Gruber Gets His Puppy Groove Back🌟

Ten-month-old Gruber came into the shelter this fall as a stray, skinny, scared and with a bad but treatable skin condition. He was a bit of a mess, actually, but always loving and happy to be around people.

The shelter staff patiently nursed Gruber back to health, and he became increasingly confident and curious on his walks each week with volunteers. Even though he's still just a puppy, Gruber has excellent potty habits and is intelligent, eager to learn and adorable to boot!

It's amazing what a little TLC and time can do, from scared and suffering to striking and spirited! Please share Gruber's story and help him get the home he deserves📣

🐟 Tabby Tuesday: Meet Tuna🐾

Take one look at Tuna and you will fall head over heels with his handsome face. His personality is equally as fetching: playful, curious and affectionate. And his loaf form? Flawless.

Come say hi to Tuna in the cat room. This purr-fect boy might just be waiting for you!

This , we are asking our generous supporters to help replenish the bare shelves for our pet food pantry program. We are currently serving a record number of Allegan County families each month who need a little extra help to get by, and we don't want to turn away participants who wait for hours in long lines this winter because we've run out of food.

By donating to the pantry, you are helping to bring relief to numerous struggling families, keep pets in their loving homes, and ensure that they are healthy and happy!🐱🐶🦴

You can contribute directly to our fund right here (please select "pet food pantry" from the option menu): https://form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/wishbone-pet-rescue-alliance/donate

Or drop off cat and dog food (wet or dry) at the Allegan County Animal Shelter, The Wishbone House or Mac's Landing vet office.

Thank you so much for your support!🤍🐾

🐶👋Meet Me Monday👋🐶

Hi, I'm Pot Roast! Though new to the shelter, I immediately won over staff and volunteers with my adorable, endearing face and personality to match. I'm affectionate, friendly and love to go out for leisurely strolls, soak up time with my humans, play with plushies, and show off my polished manners and skills.

The humans say I am a handsome, medium-sized boy found abandoned in a house in mid-November. I'm neutered and microchipped, but the chip isn't registered. Despite my sad past, I am a loving, trusting companion who is ready to find his true forever home. Want to meet me?

🎊🎊🎊Indie was just ADOPTED!!!!🎊🎊🎊

🚨SOS Sunday: Indie is Shutting Down⚠️💔
Indie is starting to shut down in her kennel, and we’re running out of ways to help her get noticed. She’s had a feature post. She’s had fun outing posts. She’s shown everyone who meets her just how awesome she is, but she still goes back to the same kennel at the end of the day and it’s wearing her down. Some dogs adapt to shelter life; Indie is not one of them.

Outside the shelter, Indie is a completely different dog. She’s beautiful, lovable and full of life. She enjoys long walks, loves splashing in pools and is gentle and friendly with strangers. On one of her outings, she even cooled off at a splash pad with some kids. She’s polite with treats, though high-value ones should be handled carefully (which is why kids 12 and up are recommended). She does well with other dogs, but needs a cat-free home. She’s about 61 pounds and will turn 2 in December, a birthday we’re hoping she can celebrate anywhere but a kennel.

Indie needs help — not someday, not eventually — but NOW. If you can foster, she needs you. If you can adopt, she’s been waiting for you. And if you can simply share this post, please do so. It might be the one thing that finally opens the door to the home she deserves.
