Wire Fox Terrier Rescue Midwest Adoption Gallery Part III

Teddy has been at Rescue in Iowa for quite some time. He is really a project and is coming around but slow. Teddy is 8 years old and spent his entire life in a puppy mill. He used to scream if you touched his neck or head. It is apparent that someone used to yank his neck alot and he was scared to death. Now he likes it - he will come now, let his head be groomed and likes to be hugged. Teddy will also walk in circles when he gets anxious. I have never heard him bark. Recently, Teddy was dreaming in his sleep. He was running and barking. He seemed happy at least and very peaceful. Updates on Teddy shortly.

Toby is a very sweet, calm, well trained little guy who lost his home through no fault of his own. He is 10 years young and his owners decided to add 2 Viszla pups to the family. Tobby was not too popular with them so they decided to attack little Toby. Guess who the family decided to give up to a shelter? We cannot understand how any family can own and love a dog for 10 years and then dump him - but they did. The nice people at the shelter liked Toby and contacted Rescue to see if we could help him. Toby weighs 17 pounds, is house trained, well mannered in the hosue, LOVES walks and car rides and is fine with other dogs. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. His hearing is not perfect but his heart is full of love and he is a wonderful little boy.

We received an email from Sally in Missouri alerting us to a Wire Fox Terrier being offered free in her local classifieds in Rolla, Missouri. The ad was horrifying and read: I have a free wire fox. He has a deformed foot. He can be brought to Rolla to the dump on V if you get him in the morning so he doesn't have to sit in the truck when its hot. Obviously this little boy needed our help. We asked Sally if she could secure him for us and help transport him to Rescue. She agreed and we cannot thank her enough - Thank you Sally! The groomer said he was scared of the bath - probably never has had one before. But he was very good for the grooming. Sally's chow dogs were not crazy about him so a friend fostered him until he could be transported to Iowa. He got along fine with her yorkies - but the cats were a tasty treat for him. The picture at left is Mister in his Free Ad in the Rolla Classifieds.

Mister is now at Rescue in Iowa. He was born 11/12/06 probably in a puppy mill. He was born without toes on his right front foot. He has a large center pad and can walk on the foot, but does not do well walking long distances on concrete or asphalt. He runs on 3 legs and gets around as well as any dog. He loves to run and play in grassy areas. Mister LOVES to ride in the car, he is well house trained, calm, gentle and a true companion dog. He likes to sleep with you and cuddle up on the sofa. He is
good with other dogs, both male and female, as
long as they are not aggressive. He is NOT good
with cats. Mister is neutered, Heartworm tested,
microchipped, dental, vaccinated, bloodwork
and perfectly healthy.

Irish is a 6 year old Wire Fox Terrier and weighs 20 pounds. He is neutered, vaccinated, Heartworm tested neg. and on prevention. Irish is house trained and loves to ride in the car. He needs an owner who is willing to be a strong pack leader, especially if there are other dogs involved. He is good with children and other dogs, but seems to not care for small dogs. He is a typical Fox Terrier and listens when he wants to. He knows several commands as sit and stay. Irish is a bolter and would need a fenced yard. Currently, he is working to be trained on an electric fence. He walks very nice on the leash and enjoys going for walks. He loves stuffed animals and knows them as his buddies. He gets anxious and scared with thunderstorms and fireworks. Irish was an owner surrender. He was not crated at his last home and gets stressed out when he is in a crate and people are around. Irish is a good boy and would make a wonderful companion. He has a nice furry coat with a unique dark patch of fur down his left cheek.
