The majority of our Wire Fox Terriers live in Iowa. Others are fostered in Chicago and surrounding States. We welcome Applicants from all States as long as they are willing to travel to us. If you are serious about adopting, we recommend submitting an Application as it gets the process started, whether the perfect Wire Fox Terrier is in Rescue now or will be arriving in the near future. Although we prefer to have the Application emailed, the option for faxing is also available and those numbers are located on the form itself.
Wire Fox Terriers are excellent travel companions and almost always up for a road trip, especially to a new Forever Home. A new option for pet owners debuted in 2009 called Pet Airways, a pet only airline where your dog is safe and comfortable flying in the main cabin. They have added new cities to their destinations, making it even more convenient for pet owners to travel or adopt.

Wire Fox Rescue Midwest could not make this all happen without the dedication and sacrifice of our Rescue Volunteers. Fostering plays such an important role in Rescue as it allows us to live with, spend time and evaluate each Wire Fox Terrier for personality, health, temperment, and compatability with others. Getting to know the Foster Wire helps ensure a good match with each prospective applicant. Having a foster home for a Wire Fox Terrier, whether it be overnight, short term or until placement - could be detrimental to a Wire Fox in trouble. With more volunteers to join Rescue - more Wire fox Terriers could be saved and live a happy life in a Forever Home.
Wire Fox Terrier Rescue Midwest pays for all vet work and expenses associated with the foster Wire Fox Terrier. Whether we are billed directly or the foster home is reimbursed, you would never be expected to bear the costs personally as with other organizations. If you have time and love to donate, we would be thrilled to have you on board. Being a part of Rescue has many rewards which become evident when taking an active role. There is a spiritual gratification as well as the opportunity to meet and make friends with others who share the same values and compassion for animals.
A common concern with many is their current Wire Fox Terriers and bringing another into the home. Gating off a section of the home works well, crates or separate rooms. The foster Wire is not expected to mingle with the resident animals but is a consideration based on the foster, the other dogs and the home. If you would like to participate or have questions, please email us.
Many Wire Fox Terriers in trouble are located in one State and need transport to another to get to their foster home. Taking one leg or the entire journey is greatly needed as many of these Wires in shelters have days or hours left before being euthanized for lack of space. Pulling a dog and bringing to safety at a vet or boarding facility until transport can be arranged could mean the difference between life and death. All boarding fees and costs would be paid directly to the animal hospital or would be reimbursed.
TRANSPORT
We have partnered with
Pilots n Paws on many
Rescue missions. Pilots
from this non-profit organization
donate their services to transport a rescue dog from one municipal airport to another. Giving a Wire Fox Terrier a lift to the airport to meet his flight would be of great help. Please contact us if you would be willing to give transport assistance in your area.
Travel expenses for a charitable organization can be a tax deduction at the end of the year should you itemize and also qualify. Keeping track of specifics and mileage would be required. Visit www.irs.gov.
