My story

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

Meet Wishbone!!!!

This handsome boy was found all alone running around a neighborhood in Tennessee. They ACO came out to help him and brought him to the shelter nas a stray. Nobody ever came for him sadly, but us.

Wishbone loves playing with other dogs!!!! He is going to make an awesome family member. As he grows, he will be happy to go on hikes, run around the backyard yard and go on vacation. He loves his toys to squeak and chew on them. He is also thinks the butterflies and birds outside bare his friends. He finds them so interesting. Being that Wishbone is a young boy still who will need training, socializing and also exploring the world. We take puppies very seriously, as they are very time consuming. Please make sure to only apply if you will have the time, love, and energy for him.

This loving boy cannot wait to meet his forever family!!! Wishbone has so much love and fun to join to a family. If you want that, apply for him today!!

More about this rescue

Fetching Hearts Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3), volunteer run rescue that is dedicated to saving dogs who have been abused, neglected or abandoned and finding loving, caring homes for them.

We rely on a network of foster families so that each dog that we pull into the safety of our rescue is placed in a foster home and is no longer confined to a life in a kennel.

We are committed to helping dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes by partnering with shelters and animal control services right here in Connecticut as well as with several high kill shelters in the South.

We do a full assessment of each dog's temperament and health to ensure that we are able to find the most suitable home for them. Every dog is fully vetted - meaning they are up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and micro chipped - before being adopted.

The ASPCA estimates that approximately 3.3 million dogs in the United States enter shelters each year, of which approximately 670,000 are euthanized*. Our goal is to advocate for and provide education about the need for spaying and neutering to eliminate what has become an epidemic of unwanted dogs.*
