Wire Fox Terrier Rescue Midwest Adoption Gallery

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.

Marlon Brando, the handsome silver screen actor, is also living his best life at WFTRM Iowa. Marlon is a busy man about town. He's on the tiptoe of anticipation at every indication of a new toy, scent, sounds or a party going on. This handsome lad is ready to begin his new life journey into a Forever Home. Marlon isn't about to share his life with another male. He's had enough of sharing. He does seem to enjoy a beautiful lady though but probably happiest as an only dog. He would love to go on walks or most any kind of adventure. He is affectionate but also independent, not a needy cuddle bug. Marlon is leash trained, crate trained and learning house training. He is a beautiful boy, has lots possibility requires socialization. He's had enough of the boring life locked in crate with a breeder this guy just wants to have fun. Marlon is healthy and on the small side for a male Wire. He's 2 years young, weighs 13 pounds but needs to gain a few pounds. Ideal weight around 16 pounds. He was great for spa day. I shared a few before spa day pictures. He's a happy handsome boy with a true Fox Terrier zest for life

Another young Beauty from the Stars of the Silver Screen Rescue. Meet Audrey Hepburn, WFTRM Iowa. Audrey is a typical Wire Fox puppy curious, playful, loves toys and exploring in a big fenced yard. She loves to chase balls and her sisters Lauren and Vivian. The girls all get along and are enjoying their new life. Audrey was born 11-8-2024. She weighs 10.6 at 5 months. Audrey has been to the vet and is in Great health. Vaccinations are current, fecal checked, Microchipped, blood panel and ready to begin a search for a Forever home. Audrey has a beautiful harsh wire coat, thick and beautiful bright colors. She is such a nice puppy, rather chill for a Wire Fox. We have started on the House training and they catch on quickly. She loves toys, treats and is an eager eater at dinner time.
