Labrador Retriever and Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in South Elgin, Illinois

Meet Wishbone

Wishbone is a 4-month-old Black Lab and Pit Bull Terrier mix with a sweet spirit and a gentle heart. He was adopted as a young puppy but was returned five weeks later due to no fault of his own. Through it all, Wishbone has remained polite, affectionate, and eager to connect with people.

This handsome boy is already showing great early manners for his age. He will often sit calmly at the door when asked and looks to his people for guidance, showing that he is attentive, respectful, and willing to learn. With continued structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement, he is sure to grow into a well-mannered and devoted companion.

Wishbone has an irresistibly sweet face, shiny coat, and big floppy ears that tip back when he's curious or excited. He's affectionate, people-oriented, and ready to form a strong bond with a family who will give him the stability and guidance he needs as he grows.

Like any young puppy, Wishbone will benefit from continued training, socialization, and patience as he learns about the world. In return, he offers endless love, loyalty, and the joy of watching him grow into a wonderful lifelong companion.
