Angel arrived at Rescue in April 2010, surrendered by her owner and she was not in good condition. Her arms were bandaged from chewing them raw, most likely from allergies and not getting any relief or medications to control. She was very overweight and her body was misshapen from improper and poor diet. She could not manage stairs and barely could cross a threshold or walk outside to do her daily routine. Angel was a senior Wire Fox Terrier at 10 years old and was suffering. Her foster mom Mary went right to work, controlling and managing Angel's allergies and putting her on a strict prescription diet with one nutritious snack a day. She was bathed almost every day to relieve her skin which was raw, cracked and rampant with sores. Resident Wire Fox Magic, made their foster guest welcome and helped out when he could. Leading Angel around the yard for much needed exercise. It was a diligent process and one that took alot of dedication on the part of Angel's foster home with Mary and Tom in Rockford, Illinois.

Angel has made a remarkable transformation from the day she arrived and has sparkle in her eyes and a gleaming personality that makes her one special Wire Fox lady. She is a happy girl who gets along with other dogs, is a well mannered sort, and sits very pretty waiting for her breakfast and dinner. Angel snuggles up in her doggie bed in the living room to watch television with everyone and has another fluffy bed upstairs next to mom and dad’s bed. She is not a barker and will only do so if someone is at the front door. Selecting toys from the basket is a favorite past time and she shares well with her foster WFT brother.
Angel makes regular trips to the vet for check ups and all necessary tests and vaccinations. Although she has had a remarkable year with Mary, however the past years of neglect have taken it's toll. She has developed arthritis and her eyes are starting to fail. She is on daily medications for her allergies which cause excessive drinking. Angel is happy and cared for very well and will be kept very comfortable until her time. She deserves a good life, free from pain and when it is time to cross that bridge - she will know that she was very much loved.
Angel needs daily medications to keep her comfortable and pain free. Please consider sponsoring her.
Hannah had a Home and was Happy,
until she found herself wandering
the streets of a Minneapolis suburb.
She is micro chipped the animal
control discovered, but her owner
never registered the chip in her
name. Her owners could not be
contacted nor did they search for
Hannah. Very sad as Hannah is a
senior Wire Fox girl - 15 years old -
who should be living in a Forever Home during her golden years and not in Rescue. Happy as a lark is darling Hannah and who is in great healthy condition. She has such a joy for life and is evident with her bouncy trot she displays each day. She loves to run laps around the fenced yard without a care in the world. Hannah is loving, friendly and just a wonderful little girl. She is not that good with other dogs though and probably from living as an only dog for so long. Hannah is ever so quiet and never a problem and asks for very little. She sleeps in her little room in a Big comfy donut bed and dreams of someone taking a chance on a no nonsense and no trouble at all little Wire girl.

Mattie is a very bright Wire Fox girl who has not had the best first 6 years of her life or the best home. After having a few accidents in the house, her owners banished her to the outside. Then they went and got a Doxie, who Mattie did not get along with which spurred their decision to turn her over to Rescue. Call it the "out with the old and in with the new" excuse and probably the "wrong owner syndtrome". Mattie spent most of her days in a crate, ignored completely, or out of a crate with a muzzle on or outside all alone to fend for herself. No dog deserves this treatment and Mattie is delighted to be in Rescue where she is loved and wanted. Mattie likes to play up her charming personality and have things her way - just like a Wire Fox Diva. She is very cute and animated and knows how to work it. She listens if you are firm and reward with lots of positive reinforcement. Mattie will sit for a treat, and jump high in the air to catch a toy. She also loves to play fetch and will put her rump in the air, front paws down and give you a bark bark to throw it. Sprinklers and water works are no match for Mattie - she will play in and mouth the water sprays all day long. Mattie walks really nice on a leash an is fine in a crate - probably because she spent way too much time in one. Because of her being ignored and receiving little to NO training, she is not ever going to co-exist in the home with another dog. She will be a great companion for someone with Wire experience who wants to add a little fun and spice to their life.
Mattie is spayed; Heartworm tested and on preventative; fecal checked; dental cleaning; vaccinated; Receives Frontline; ears examined and cleaned; a full blood panel ( All Normal); an ultra-sound of her bladder (All Normal); Complete Urinalysis ( All normal); had a VT Urine PC ratio (All Normal). Combined results of all these tests - Mattie is actually in perfect health! Mattie had a little incontinence while sleeping upon arrival. She can hold urine and her bladder works fine - it is the Sphincter muscle that is relaxed so Mattie takes Proin each day to tighten up smooth muscle. Problem solved and she sleeps soundly and dryly. Mattie is aldo micro chipped and groomed.
Hannah is living at WFTRM in Iowa. She is a victim of owner irresponsibility and letting her down in this time in her life when she needed them the most. She will most likely live her life at Rescue and deserves the respect and dignity of knowing what it is like to be loved and feel special and wanted. No dog is too old to be loved.
