American Fox Terrier Rescue
UPDATE DECEMBER 14, 2011 - The Gift of Blaze: (as always, click on any image for a larger view):
Blaze has made so much progress in the past few weeks, it’s just amazing. I wish so much that all of you who have followed her story could see her now. She’s finally living the life she has always deserved but did not have for so many years.
Blazie and I went to see Dr. Angela Mees, who performed her oral surgery, for her one-month check-up. The Miracle Girl has done it again!!
Maybe Blaze had a nice life a long time ago, but by the time a caring neighbor called in an anonymous tip about a dying dog, she was starving and in terrible pain. The Atlanta animal cruelty officer asked her owners why they had not provided the dog with any medical care for the tumor hanging from her belly (which nearly touched the ground) and the open wound on her face. Their response was that “she was gonna die anyway."
American Fox Terrier Rescue is individuals and small groups of unpaid volunteers all over the US and Canada that take in Wire and Smooth Fox Terriers from animal shelters and help re-home dogs being given up by owners. Each group is independent but works together in a network of caring people who love Fox Terriers and want to help these dogs.
A Rescue dog is a dog that is in need and the breeder or owner cannot or will not help. American Fox Terrier Rescue takes Smooths and Wires from animal shelters and when there is room, from owners that can no longer keep them and the breeder is unwilling to take the dog back.
We help dogs who have lost their homes though divorce or death of their owners. Many come from wonderful homes, but though life changes, the dog needs a new home. American Fox Terrier Rescue groups are often best qualified to find that new home.
Fox Terriers in animal shelters usually only have a few days before being put to sleep. American Fox Terrier Rescue moves quickly to try and get these dogs out and safely into rescue. Most are wonderful pets, they have just fallen on hard times.
Please be sure to check out our URGENT NEEDS dogs! They really need your help.
