Wiley's Wish 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Animal Rescue | Paws of Hope Prison Resident/Rescue Dog Board + Train Initiative WILEY'S WISH ANIMAL RESCUE: RESCUE. REHABILITATE. TRAIN.
(1)

PLACE. Wiley's Wish is a female and Veteran operated 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization saving dogs facing euthanasia at high-kill shelters due to the overcrowding crisis in California. Since 2021, we have rescued, rehabilitated and placed over 1,000 dogs into loving, happy forever homes. Since 2022, we have successfully trained and AKC/CGC certified over 350 dogs via our proprietary

prison resident/rescue dog training initiative, PAWS OF HOPE. We are a proud, all-breed, all size, all color, all age, all energy level rescue. From two-pound Chihuahuas to one hundred eighty pound Great Danes, we rescue the abandoned, discarded, abused and forgotten and gift them second chances at life and love. We rehabilitate our rescues with exceptional medical care. We spay/neuter and bring current their vaccine, Rabies, flea and tick preventatives. We ensure proper care for long, healthy lives. To ensure our rescues are setup for success as canine good citizens, they are enrolled in our proprietary inmate/rescue dog training initiative, PAWS of HOPE. Under the direction of our in-house AKC certified trainers and behaviorists, our rescues undergo a three month training program and graduate with their AKC/CGC certifications. Finally, we thoroughly interview and vet all adopters to ensure the perfect fit and forever homes. We do right by every dog we save for the duration of their lives. Because once a Wiley's dog, always a Wiley's dog. To donate to our cause, go to www.wileyswish.com/donation.

Happy Adoption Day, Winston!

Winston was only with us for a short time, but he was loved every step of the way.

His brother, Screech, will definitely miss him, but we couldn’t be happier knowing Winston has found his forever home.

Happy tails, sweet Winston! May your new life be filled with love, happiness, and endless adventures.

Happy Adoption Day, Nollie!

This sweet little girl was rescued from the Stockton Animal Shelter just in time. She then joined the Second Chance Canine Program, where she learned, grew, and became the very best version of her sweet little self.

Thank you to everyone at Second Chance for giving Nollie the love, patience, training, and confidence she needed to find her way home.

Happy tails, Nollie! We will miss you, sweet girl. Your happily ever after starts now.

We couldn’t NOT post this little Biscotti, aka Biscuit, learning how to orbit.

We miss this little guy, but we are so happy that he got to go home to an amazing family who loves him as much as we do.

Check out his little page, tagged above, and see what this sweet boy is up to.

We love you, Biscuit!

Mr. Tater ❤️🐾

Rescued from Fresno Animal Shelter, Tater has been with us for a while now, and this short-stack little pitty has SO much love to give. 🥹❤️

Tater has come such a long way, and we couldn’t be more proud of him. A huge thank you to Jerome and Manuel for teaching Tater that not all humans are scary and helping him learn to trust again. 🐾

We’re so excited to see where life takes this sweet boy. He deserves nothing but the absolute best.

We love you, Tater boy. ❤️

Big Day for Winston & Screech 🐾💙

Big day for Winston and Screech!

These two little troublemakers got neutered today, and let’s just say… they are NOT happy about it. 😂💙 They’ve made it very clear that they feel personally betrayed.

Thank you, HOPE, for taking such good care of our boys! We know these two can be quite a handful, and we appreciate you loving them and taking such great care of them. ❤️

Now it’s time for these crazy boys to rest, recover, and hopefully stay out of trouble for at least five minutes. 😂🐶

Get well soon, Winston & Screech! We love you, troublemakers! 💙🐾

A Week as small -Operated Rescue

A week as a small operated rescue looks a little something like this:

🐾 5 vet visits
🐾 5 vet pick-ups and drop-offs
🐾 6 new rescue pick-ups
🐾 2 transports
🐾 Puppy p**p × 1 million
🐾 5 prison classes
🐾 3 family visits and drop-offs
🐾 4 adoption transports

And you ask how we do it?

Welp… we’re still breathing. 😂 Our heads are spinning a little, our feet are tired, and we’re probably running on way too much caffeine—but we are serving. ❤️

Oh, and because apparently that wasn’t enough… we also cut up a tree, mowed the pastures, and gave the puppies baths. Because rescue life doesn’t come with a “slow down” button. 😂🌳🐶

There are days when we wonder how everything gets done. The answer is simple: we just keep showing up.

And Becky… I honestly don’t know what we would do without you. ❤️ You are an absolute rockstar and one of the reasons this crazy little rescue keeps moving forward.

Two girls. A whole lot of dogs. A million things to do.

And somehow… we keep going. 🐾❤️

Rescue isn’t easy. But these lives are worth every exhausted minute.

Bottom line we need voulenteers .

In Memory of Rene ❤️

A few weeks ago, we lost a very special part of our Wiley’s Wish family, Rene Hicks.

Rene wasn’t just an adopter. She was Ginger’s whole world. ❤️

A few months ago, Rene called us from the hospital. Even while she was in the hospital, her biggest concern was her girl. She asked us to please go get Ginger out of the shelter and make sure she was safe.

That was Rene. Her love for Ginger came first, even during one of the hardest moments of her own life.

Today, we want Rene to know something very important: we have found Ginger the very best new home. ❤️🐾

A home where she will be loved, cherished, spoiled, and protected—a home worthy of the love Rene gave her.

We are heartbroken that Rene is no longer here, but we hope she knows that Ginger is safe and deeply loved. We made her a promise, and we will keep it.

Rest peacefully, Rene. Thank you for loving Ginger so completely. We will never forget you, and we will never forget that phone call from the hospital. ❤️

Ginger has a beautiful new chapter ahead of her, and a piece of Rene will always be part of her story.

Until you meet again, Ginger will carry your love with her. 🌈🐾
