After many months in rescue Roxie the senior Wire has found her forever home with a great Terrier experienced couple in MI. She is a wonderful spunky Wire with lots of personality and certainly deserved a home of her own. We are ecstatic that she finally has her own family to love her!
Molly was on the shelf in rescue for a very long time. At just 1 year old she should have been snapped up but she was a very feisty female and needed just the right home. She found that home with an experienced Wire owner who had recently lost her own female Wire due to old age. Molly is now enrolled in doggie daycare and regularly interacts with dozens of other dogs! She has found her forever home!
Teddy was an owner surrender. He has found his forever home with Welsh Terrier owners. Teddy and his Welsh sister sometimes have a love-hate relationship but they make good company for each other. We are delighted to have found such an experienced enthusiastic home for our boy!
Petie was dumped at an all breed rescue shelter. He is a funny Wire because he growls and "talks" all the time. A number of people passed on him because they mistook his vocalization for bad temperament. He was adopted by a Terrier savvy couple in CT who also own an Airedale. Once again Barbara Curtiss of Airedale Rescue assisted us. We are so happy that Petie is loved and well cared for. He is a great character.
Indie is a beautiful young Welsh Terrier who was found as a stray running along a busy road. She ended up in a shelter and a savvy shelter director made sure she got to an appropriate rescue. Despite her difficult life she is a sweet happy puppy. She has found her forever home with an Airedale owner. We are happy to have played a part in helping Indie find her forever home where she will be loved and appreciated!
Fritzi was left at a shelter in MI and was bailed out by Fred & Cheryl Gee. They fostered her for months and although they are experienced Terrier people, they have never encountered a Wire before! Fred was smitten with Fritzi. We are pleased to report she has found her forever home with a couple in the Boston area. They had a lonely male Wire.
Ellen writes, "Everyone is fine here. Toby and Fritzi play, eat, and walk very well together. At night she starts off sleeping in her bed next to Toby's bed but sometime in the night she manages to wedge herself between us on the bed. Fritzi has a fascination for pillows and when we are not around the bed in the daytime she will put herself on the very top. I call her the "mountain goat."
Ozzie was abandoned by a couple who simply had no further interest in him. We couldn't believe it when we discovered he was one of the coolest Wires we had ever rescued! He is a big boy with a steady temperament. He gets along well with other dogs and loves people. Ozzie is an all around dream dog! At our 2007 Fox-Terrier Frolic everyone encouraged supporter Kirt Manecke to adopt Ozzie. Finally Kirt caved in and they have been best friends ever since.
Harry came to rescue from a shelter, left by his owner. After many months in foster care he has been adopted by a Wire experienced owner. He shares his new mom’s lap with Wire sister Celie-Grace. They have an occasional squabble but of course life is never dull with 2 Wires in the house. We are delighted that Harry has found such a wonderful home!
Ajax was abandoned at a shelter. The shelter manager was very rescue savvy, and made sure he got into the right hands. He is a young, high spirited Wire and we despaired of finding the right match for him! He has been adopted by a great Terrier experienced owner in Canada. Ajax has finally found his forever home!
Dexter was an unwanted young puppy tied out in a backyard. Now his new family writes. “Everything is great, he's a lovely little dog and is doing really well, he loves to play fetch and just hold the ball in his mouth, he even has a funny little jumpy walk he does when he has a stick or ball in his mouth, it's so cute! He's getting along good with his brothers (Max and Jello) and learning to listen even at the dog park. Thanks again we couldn't be happier!!!!!"
Henry is a beautiful 2 year old male who was dumped at an Indiana shelter by a breeder. He came from a puppy mill and had never known kindness. He has been adopted by a great dog mom and friend who has always had Airedales. She was unprepared for Wire antics! She has loved seeing Henry blossom into a naughty boy! Henry just loves his new life and is learning to play with his big sister, Airedale Abbie.
Nora came from a puppymill in KY. She was a sad creature when she arrived to rescue. She found her loving home in East Lansing MI. “Here are a couple of pictures with Nora and her brother Arnie. She has settled in well and it is as though she never lived anywhere else. Her fur has grown in and she is very healthy. Housebreaking is going well. She is a smart little girl”.
Billy was a puppy mill male discarded at a shelter in Indiana by an uncaring breeder. Despite his rough start in life he proved to be a joyful puppy and was soon snapped up by an experienced Wire owner in Pinckney MI. Billy now enjoys life with new sister Cooper. Everything in his life is a new experience from mirrors to riding in the car. His new “mom” is taking lots of time with him and we couldn’t be happier that he got such a great home!
Chester found his match with a Wire experienced couple in Northern MI. His new mom writes, “He's a live wire, and loves to play with Dickens! We have to really watch him when we go out the door, he is an escape artist! He loves the backyard & he and Dickens chase each other back and forth and run with the tennis balls and Frisbees! He's very good on his walks in the sub, and just generally loves the outdoors. He's a cutie and we just love him!!”
Brody the puppy has a new home with a previously adopted rescue Wire also named Brody who was lonely and needed a pal. Since it would be confusing to have 2 dogs with the same name, the puppy Brody is now Wiley. They have become good friends and are enjoying their forever home together.
Andy has found a wonderful home with an active Airedale puppy. The two of them make a powerful play team and keep each other busy. His new family embraces the terrier spirit. This was a match made in heaven for this rough and tumble dog!
