Welcome to the IN THE SPOTLIGHT Page where we will feature our current adoption news, going home pictures and special announcements. This page will change often with our most recent Wire Fox Terriers finding their perfect Forever Homes. We would love to showcase all of our success stories but this page would never end and we want you to get a chance to visit all the other pages of our Website.
Lucinda and Maura from Minneapolis, Minnesota had lost their amazing Wire Fox boy Joop to cancer. Their home was so quiet and life was not the same without a Wire Fox Terrier. They couldn't wait to make the trip once approved and hopped in the car and headed to Iowa. There they were greeted with exceptional fan fare. All the Wires wanted to be around and on top of Lucinda and Maura! Carson made himself comfy and had the facial expression of absolute delight. Toodles wanted on too and chose to hang on the front . . . and then decided to lick Lucinda's pant leg! Snookie was in on the gang up along with Jasper and Alfie who showed off his skills of rolling on his back with a toy in his mouth. Jasper was the lucky boy and will never be abandoned again and has the Forever Home of his dreams.
Jasper & Alfie
Jasper found himself in a Shelter in Iowa and arrived at WFTRM on Christmas Day. He had alot of shaggariffic fur going on but made friends quickly with all the Wires. He entertained everyone with his treat performance of two leg begging and then stamping his front paws up and down as fast as he can. After a much needed spa day and grooming - a very handsome Wire Fox boy indeed was hiding underneath.
Thank You Greatly to Debra for picking up Jasper at the Shelter and bringing him to Rescue. Thank You to the Texas Rescue Team of Julie and colleagues for always looking out for those Wire Fox cowboys and getting them to Rescue! Always grateful to Bob in Minneapolis for making the airport pickup and transporting. Big Hugs to Kim for performing the Home Visit in Minnesota. Truly Appreciated!
Melody
Melody turn 1 year old on January 1, 2012 and the week prior, her owners relinquished her to a Shelter in Missouri. She had quite a journey to WFTRM in Chicago and made quite an impression on everyone she met. Melody was supercharged with energy and packed full of love and kisses.
He is your friend, your partner, Your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, fathful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

Alfie was in a kill shelter in Texas and was very close to being euthanized. He was pulled by rescue colleagues, kept safe and made his way on a flight to WFTRM along with another male Wire who was also in trouble. Both boys were grateful to be saved and made themselves right at home in Iowa. Alfie was so easy going, loving and silly and was a joy to have around. Lucinda and Maura really loved Alfie too when they arrived to adopt Jasper. He even showed off his happy silly self by rolling on his back on the rug with a toy in his mouth. They could not stop talking about him when they made it back to Minneapolis that they made a double adoption celebration the following weekend by returning to Iowa to adopt Alfie. Now Alfie and Jasper are brothers and are going to live happily ever after!
Corinna from Glen Ellyn, Illinois was searching for a special terrier to love again. After losing her girl China after battling a year long illness - she was ready to share her home and her heart once again. She fell in love with Melody on sight - her spirit and striking looks and was ready, willing and able to devote her time and attention to this young Welsh Terrier girl. Melody instantly bonded with Corinna as well and said - this my mom. She follows her from room to room in her new forever home and enjoys sharing her days with. Corinna works from home as a journalist, has a large fenced yard that is brimming with windows and visits from numerous critters to keep Melody on her toes. It will be a marvelous life now for this special Welsh Terrier girl.
