Date Adopted: Fri, 11/13/2009

Breed: Terrier Mix

Why I chose this dog:

My friend in L.A. had 2 terrier mix dogs...now he has one (the other one, rescued in Mexico) left this world at a ripe old age..I love/d them! So sweet and loyal.
I was looking for about a year, for a similar mutt terrier and saw Baker on Petfinders.com. I sent in my application and Angela (foster mom) responded right away. We went to meet Baker, and he was so sweet! Living with multiple (large) dogs at his foster home, Baker was so well adjusted.

Things I love about this dog

I LOVE his hot little body! Makes the bed all warm and toasty in these cold winter days!

Bogie

Posted Sun, 01/24/2010 - 17:17 by luckylady94577

Date Adopted: Fri, 05/01/2009

Breed: Boston Terrier

Why I chose this dog:

My last dog was a Boston, he was the smartest most wonderful dog. He was a rescue dog and had fear aggression issues and was two years old. After a short time of loving and patience, I couldn't ask for a better dog. His name was BOGIE. When I saw this Bogie on line, I just had a feeling in my heart that he was meant to be mine. After watching his progress on line, I jumped at the chance to adopt him. He has required much more than my other Bogie, but after obedience training, lots of time and love, he is truly my WONDER DOG!! Thank you Linda and all the volunteers for your time and love. You are all truly angels!! We have moved recently from San Leandro to Pioneer (in the mountains), he now runs and plays in the snow and has accepted a kitten that we got just two days ago.

Things I love about this dog

His unconditional love and willingness to please. He never forgets so we always give him good memories. He is full of energy and loves to show off what he has learned in obedience class. There isn't enough room in this space to list all the things I love about my Bogie Dog.


Bailey (formerly Bebe)

Posted Fri, 01/08/2010 - 23:40 by slspeizer

Date Adopted: Sat, 01/31/2009

Breed: Border Collie/Kelpie

Why I chose this dog:

I must be honest.....It was a very impulsive desire to adopt Bailey. I looked online at Petfinder.com for a small dog and "Bobo" popped up as being apart of Wonder Dog Rescue. I fell in love with the Black and Whtie marking. I emailed WDR one night and got a quick email back about coming up the next morning for her adoption. When we got there, someone else beat us to her... But!!!! Her brother (Bebe) had not been adopted yet....I snatched him from someone else's arms.

Things I love about this dog

Size, personality, temperament, intelligence, activity level

Angel

Posted Sun, 01/03/2010 - 15:19 by mbg1400

Date Adopted: Wed, 09/03/2008

Breed: Boston Terrier

Why I chose this dog:

I chose Angel because she is the best dog in the world! She had come from (I think)a breeder who had died.When I saw Angel lying on her back so she could get a tummy rub,I knew she was mine, and I took her around the block and brought her home. When I was at Wonder Dog, I found out that she was six years old but so what?

Things I love about this dog

I too am an old bag! She travels well,and,so I decided that Angel comes with, and that's my policy with her. she is now 8, and is in perfect health. I did have to put her on a diet, and she has lost the necessary pound, as this Boston is food oriented.No matter what, she's my baby girl.She sleeps with me, cuddles up and get along with the cat. She is also pretty stubborn! Angel generally likes people more than dogs, but will play with them.It took her about 4-6 months before her true personality appeared. THANK YOU WONDER DOG. I am so lucky to have her. Marjorie
