About Tyler
Tyler is a wonderful Wire Fox Terrier. He came from a farm in KY that was liquidating their stock of dogs. He spent his life on a cement run and had almost no human contact except for feeding. We have been to the farm several years ago and had gotten 5 Wires out, but could not take them all. They are now “Out of Business”
Age, Health
Tyler is healthy, neutered, and has been fully vetted. We have had difficulty in fully housebreaking him. He has had a full workup including x-rays. He is about 80-90% housebroken. He is attending obedience training now and is doing very well. Tyler is 3-4 years old.
Temperament
Tyler loves people and has excellent indoor manners. He is wonderful with all other dogs and loves people. He is very social and is eager to be loved and to bond.
Tyler’s’s Ideal Owner
Tyler will do well with someone who is willing to continue to work on his housebreaking and offer positive reinforcement. He is a diamond in the rough for anyone willing to put in the effort.

About Penny (aka PRETTY PENNY)
Penny is a Welsh Terrier. She turned up at a shelter. We don't know anything about her background. What we HAVE learned about her is that she is a sweet girl who loves to be a part of the family and is happy to play with other dogs.
Age, Health
Penny is just 1 1/2 years old and. The shelter had to shave her to the skin to remove her mats. Penny is up to date on all her healthcare including heartworm preventative and she is spayed. Penny's new pictures shows her first haircut!
Temperament
We do know that she loves to run in our fenced yard with the other dogs. She gets along well with other dogs. She has very high energy.
PENNY has learned housebreaking with our encouragement and practically "potties" on command.Penny’s Ideal Owner
Penny deserves a home where she will be loved forever. She would do well with another dog to play with.
Penny requires a fenced yard. She requires obedience and a terrier experienced home with lots of patience.

Luc (as in Luke Skywalker) is a 9-year-old Smooth Fox Terrier who is extremely friendly to everyone -- people, dogs and kids alike! He does have a high-octane activity level and loves to patrol the yard from squirrels! You need a fenced-in yard for this active guy to keep him safe. He loves lots of water, especially sprinklers, water hoses, and all outside activities. He loves playing ball and long walks anywhere. He’s always happy and ready for a new adventure...and loves to go to the dog park.
Indoors he sleeps in his own bed covered with a blankey, and a better snuggler and cuddler would be hard to find. He has had the run of the house for the past three years. He easily passed the temperament test at the local doggy daycare, and he is ready to welcome friends and neighbors into your home with a wagging tail and inquisitive nose.
Luc is AKC papered and up-to-date on all shots (just had a clean bill of health in December 2009). He is seeking a loving forever home as his need for attention is more than his current owner can provide. He currently lives with three other geriatric dogs. For more information, contact smoothfoxmi@yahoo.com or 989-430-9343. Luc is located in Lansing, MI.
