Wire Fox Terrier Rescue Midwest Adoption Gallery

WELCOMING THE WIRES OF THE SILVER SCREEN RESCUE
A larger-scale rescue mission has been under way by Wire Fox Terrier Rescue Midwest for a group of Wire Fox Terriers. They have all been neglected both physically and socially for at least a few years now, were covered in fleas and ticks, had tapeworms, parasites, and filthy beyond recognition. They were released from an overwhelmed Wire Fox Terrier breeder where the situation escalated out of control and had more dogs and puppies than they could take care of. Is it a once good breeder gone bad or a heartless greedy one who did not know when to call it quits? However the circumstances are perceived, they all needed and deserved help and WFTRM and Rescue have stepped up to take care of them all.

How many did you take? We took nine – we took nine that will join the three already in Rescue that have been vetted of Tippi Hedren, Spencer Tracy & Lilli Palmer. On board to arrive Monday is Grace Kelly, Cary Grant, Marlon Brando and Clark Gable – all around 2 or 3 years. Then there are five 5-month-old puppies, all girls, Lana Turner, Judy Garland, Vivien Leigh, Audrey Hepburn & Lauren Bacall. These dogs need so much vet work and all are intact – the initial 3 dogs vet bills were just over $3,800. We are asking for your help with donations to assist with the medical care and vetting of all these Wire Fox Terriers. Some may need special surgeries after being checked out. One of the girls has bilateral luxating patella we are aware of. Below is a specific Paypal Link for this Rescue Mission. Thank you for your kindness and compassion in helping these neglected little Wire Fox Terriers get the vet care needed to go on and receive their Forever Homes.

Meet SPENCER (Tracy) who arrived at WFTRM Iowa. He is very shut down, only 4 years old but totally failed by his human who was supposed to be his care giver. He freezes at human touch, is absolutely stiff and jumps away. He has Demodex mites, tape worms, whip and hook worms and max +4 ear infection. Amazingly healthy as far as perfect bloodwork. His Blood sample was slightly positive for Heartworm so a sample was sent to lab as 4dx couldn't give definitive answer. He is on antibiotics, medicated baths and treatment for demodex. Spencer is neutered now and had a Core Dental with 2 teeth extracted that actually had no roots left gone from infection. He has a gorgeous sparkling white smile now. Spencer is responding to soft voice, gentle touch and he will actually crawl to me now when I go outside to work with him. He cowers but he is very slowly learning that I am okay. I know he is feeling better. Spencer was with the overwhelmed Wire Fox Terrier breeder where the situation got out of control and continued for some time and had more dogs and puppies than they can take care of. They have all been neglected both physically and socially, loaded with fleas, ticks, worms and beyond filthy. Spencer was found living in tall weeds in a wire cage with no bottom. He was so used to it and shut down in despair he did not try to escape. Is overwhelmed an excuse for such cruel neglect? I don't think so. I hold him, hug him and my heart is sad for him. This is not pleasant but this was his reality. A once good breeder gone bad or a greedy heartless person who didn't know when to quit. Yes this makes me very angry. Spencer and many more did not deserve this. Spencer will make an amazing transformation. Watch him when he blossoms into the beautiful boy he was meant to be. I promise Spencer your life just made an amazing turn around.

Take a Peek who arrived at WFTRM Chicago – meet TIPPI (Hedren) the Wire Fox Terrier. She is so teeny tiny with itty bitty feet and weighs only 14 pounds. She is the cutest little girl ever, charming, and gentle. Loves to be on my lap getting pets and kisses and affection and would stay there 24/7 if you had the time. Tippi is 18 months old and is delighted to be in a home receiving lots of love and care. She is good friends with Bruno the Welsh Terrier puppy mill rescue and he is so thrilled to have a little girl to be his pal. She jumps around like a bunny rabbit and entices him to play, and they run zoomies and chase. She loves curling up in a big donut bed with a soft fur blanket and snoozing for the night. Having fun with little plush toys, tossing them and then nibbling and is a great traveler in the car. Tippi was with an overwhelmed Wire Fox Terrier breeder where the situation escalated out of control and continued for some time and has more dogs and puppies than they can take care of. They have been neglected both physically and socially, loaded with fleas, ticks, worms, and beyond filthy. They can be a little shy at first but so easy to love and make them feel safe. Tippi went to the animal hospital and was Spayed, Absorbable Sutures, 4dx Heartworm tested negative, Rabies, Distemper, Bordatella, Cytopoint Injection as her skin was pink from neglect, wormed with Drontal Plus, on Simparica Trio, Microchipped. She is so darn adorable and has the most precious personality to match. So well behaved and mannered, quiet and affectionate. I shrunk Zazu’s sheep sweater accidentally but now it fits her perfectly. I smile and giggle just looking at her and I know she will become someone’s heart dog in her Forever Home.
