PIPER
2 Wire Fox Terriers made their way North from a not so good situation in Mississippi. They had been neglected for the past year or so by their owner until a family member stepped in to help them. They were tied outside, loaded head to toe in fleas and so filthy they were unrecognizable as Wires. PIPER is a tiny little 16 pound girl who had a thick choke chain around her neck that she had to drag around with DIXON the younger male with their leashes connected to one tie out. They are lucky to be alive and thankful they are here now safe and loved. Both happy, playful Wires ready for their new chapter in life.
GALLERY OF DOGS
Please say Hello to PIPER . . . the new and improved little girl that made her way to WFTRM Chicago from Mississippi. She is all clean and just so pretty and precious. It took 4 special shampoos and rinses and a most enjoyable towel rubbing and there was the most adorable and white Wire Fox Terrier girl that appeared. The flea dirt coated her skin but now all pink and in the past and she stood absolutely still for the entire bubble bath marathon. Piper is 5 years old and a petite girl weighing 16 - 17 pounds. She has a teddy bear face with coppery ears and head and is sweet natured and happy. She gives a thousand fast and furious kisses to those who are sitting and fair game. She leaps up on your chest and starts rubbing her body all over you. Piper is quiet and content in the house waiting her turn, loves to lounge on the bed and look out the window and very well mannered. She doesn't seem interested in the other dogs, friendly and nice but mainly wanting human companionship. She is having fun running zoomies in the big fenced yard, checking out all the landscape but seems to have a timer on as she heads right back up to you or wanting to go inside. She was very hungry on arrival and is enjoying her meals here. Piper is living her dream life as all dogs should - never to be kept chained outside again! This perfect little princess is Spayed, Rabies, Distemper & Bordatella Vaccinations, 4dx Heartworm Tested Negative, on Simparica Trio, and Fecal checked.
DIXON
Here's Dixon AKA Dickens from neglected life in Mississippi. He arrived at WFTRM along with his mom Piper. Piper stayed in Chicago but Dixon came to Iowa. He was a mess filthy, matted loaded with flea excrement. I could see a handsome boy in there somewhere. I got out my grooming supplies and we had a spa day. He was great to work with he knew getting all the dirt and wooly matted fur off would feel great. Dickens is 2 years old. He's a lively little guy. Loves to play. He's a life of the party kind of guy. Upbeat, excited, always ready to jump in my lap and get kisses. He's very social Loves people. He is great with other dogs just very selective and pushy around males. Dickens is a ladies man. He and tiny Sophia have lots of fun romps and chase games. Dickens also likes my calm not reactive male T.Bear. He is used to being in the house. Crate trained and house trained. I think at one time someone loved him. He's also very agile he can jump. Dickens climbs over a 5 ft solid vinyl fence. He jumps hooks his paws over the top and over he goes. He is an experienced escape artist. I think the dogs on the other side of the fence motivate him to go over and join them. He's very alert, misses nothing. Dickens. Dickens is 2 years old healthy weighs 18 pounds. He is a fun loving playful guy looking for a Forever Home.
CHARLENE
A pretty Girl joined WFTRM Iowa. Her name is Charlene. She was owner surrendered because of Cocker Spaniel siblings, sadly they didn't do well with that zippy tenacious Wire Fox personality. Oh well their loss, someone else will love this pretty girl Charley is exploring and getting comfortable here. She is pretty chill so far but it takes time for them to fit in and feel at home. Charlene was born 8/14/2016. She is a perfect girl, house trained, leash trained loves walks. She rides nice in a car. Charley loves attention but isn't a needy girl. She loves to sit up high on the back of the chair or sofa and look out window. She tolerates other dogs well but is alpha so best in an only dog home. She prefers to sleep with you and also is ok in her own bed. Charley will be a perfect companion for someone who has a quieter lifestyle and is looking for the ideal Wire Fox Terrier companion. She is an easy keeper and has lots of love to give. Charlene has enjoyed great care in her life. They had all of her vet work done and sent all her records. Perfect girl ready to move into a Forever Home.
