Wire Fox Terrier Rescue Midwest Adoption Info

If you have a Wire Fox Terrier you can no longer keep, please contact us. Owners will be required to sign a short one paragragh Owner Surrender Agreement upon transfer. We do not require a donation to accept an owner relinquish. All Vet records and basic info will be requested. Trying to rehome your Wire can be an emotional and daunting experience. Placing a classified ad or post on Facebook can attract people who would not be suitable or could have detrimental intentions. We work with you to help ease the transition and will also stay in touch if desired.

Our Wire Fox Terriers are fostered in Chicago, Iowa and occasionally other States. We welcome Applicants from all States as long as they are willing to travel to us to adopt. WFTRM does not ship or transport dogs to new homes.

Never forget to believe in Guardian Angels, unexpected miracles, the power of hard work and the love of a Forever Friend.

WFTRM has rescued from and adopted to most every State. Where there is a will - there is a way! We give every effort to help or provide assistance to all those in need.

WFTRM goes above and beyond to provide extensive vet care and procedures. Each foster is spayed/neutered (unless a puppy and then will be placed with a clause in the Contract to be peformed at a later date. They receive all Vaccinations, Microchip, Heartworm Test, Fecal Check, Canine Influenza Vaccination, Vet Exam. If appropriate Full Blood Panel, Urinalysis, Specialized Testing, Dental Cleaning and any Advanced Surgical Procedure needed for those who arrive as a Special Needs.

Wire Fox Terriers are runners, door bolters and excellent escape artists! They are not a breed that can be let off leash. They can be diggers, climbers & jumpers and get on tables. A Fenced Yard would be ideal for a Wire Fox Terrier but not mandatory for adoption.

Wire Fox Terriers have varying levels of prey drive and love to hunt and chase varmints. Anything small is fair game - squirrels, birds, chipmunks. Some may tolerate a cat but the majority are NOT cat friendly.

As a non-shedding breed, Wire Fox Terriers are prone to allergies whether food or environmental. Regular bathing and grooming is essential. A good food, preferably grain free is a must to prevent or avoid issues.

We rescue nationally from all States. Please contact us with your request regardless of how far way. We will always find a way to assist and help and have a network of volunteers across the U.S. If you are unsure whether you have a Wire Fox Terrier, please email pictures so that we can help or assist you with locating the appropriate breed rescue.

There are 3 requirements to be approved for Adoption. Each step is a separate process and all three need to be performed before approval. Once completed and the perfect match is in Rescue and ready, then finalization of the Adoption can take place.

An Adoption Contract will be required to be signed at the time of Adoption and pick up. We do have a standard Adoption Fee which is also required at that time. They receive a new designer collar & leash, often a harness and coat or sweater, a large bag filled with a blanket, toys and goodies for them to bring to their Forever Home.
