My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Wishbone – The Resilient Little Adventurer!

Wishbone's journey began as a stray, bravely running around with a cone on his head and a bandaged hind leg, the wrap trailing behind him. Now, at around a year old and 16 pounds, he’s all healed up and ready to embrace life to the fullest. Probably part Smooth Fox Terrier, Wishbone brings all the playful, affectionate charm of a young, small-breed pup.

This little guy’s joy is contagious! Whether it’s a woodland walk or a morning snuggle, Wishbone is thrilled to be by your side. He’s friendly, sweet, and full of spunk. He’s met other dogs and cats out and about and, while he may bark if offended, he’s quick to get along with calm, confident animals.

Wishbone is fast on his paws and would make an amazing agility partner! He’s learning his leash manners and, though he’s curious about outdoor “treasures,” he’s a smart cookie, eager to learn with a bit of guidance. And for his size, this guy can leap like a lion!

At home, Wishbone enjoys having some alone time to relax, especially in a calm, low-traffic household. He’s best suited to older, dog-savvy children who respect his space and prefer a cozy, quiet environment. Given a comfy blanket to burrow in, some food puzzles, or chew toys, and he’s a happy camper. Though he’s crate-friendly, Wishbone is such a good boy that he does well in a dog-proofed space.

Healthy, cuddly, and with a heart as big as his zest for life, Wishbone is ready to leap into his forever home. Could your family be the perfect match for this resilient, adventurous pup?

Go meet their pets

At this time, Familiar Hearts Animal Society meetings are by appointment only.

We currently rely on our amazing web of generous fosters throughout the Philadelphia area and will do our best to make a meeting as convenient as possible for both human + animal.

Meetings will need to be coordinated through the foster of the animal you are interested in meeting.

More about this rescue

Mission Statement: To end the unnecessary suffering of homeless companion animals by serving as a refuge and enabling humans to provide them quality and compassionate homes.

Our Vision: Our mission is two-fold; we want to help abandoned pets and we want to help stop pet abandonment.

We operate using a network of kind hearted hands to help find homeless animals veterinary and behavior care and then match them with appropriate forever homes. We also strive to educate pet owners about resources they might utilize in order to best understand how to provide for their friends with furry paws, feathers or claws. We always do our best to help.
