Meet SPENCER (Tracy) who arrived at WFTRM Iowa and is one of the Silver Screen Wires that were rescued earlier this Spring. 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. He is such a handsome Wire quite petite for a male 16 pounds. He is 2 years old, full of energy. Marlon has calmed down some. He's really ready to bond and just hang out with his family. Wires need social time and living with the breeder he has had nothing but a cage. He felt challenged all the time. He's so cute snooping exploring the house. Television is really amazing to him. Toys are also very interesting. He's finally willing to sit on my lap but not for long. Marlon also hates other dogs He is very defensive does best with calm dogs who don't react or bark. He's perfectly happy just hanging out with me when everyone else is outside. I'm working on one at a time introduction with my boys. Trying to get him to at least walk past and tolerate it's a challenge because of his past experiences. He is beautiful, intelligent and lots of fun. Great temperament with human interaction. Looking for a handsome young Wire boy? He's the perfect package for a family with fenced yard, time to love and bond with him as an only dog. Marlon loves everyone.
