* TERRIERS IN TROUBLE *

* FOSTER HOMES NEEDED *

2009-04-17T20:42:00.004-04:00

If you need help with your miniature Schnauzer, Wire fox terrier, Lakeland terrier, Irish terrier or Welsh terrier, please email cooley@mpinet.net. We specialize in rehoming pure-bred terriers for owners who can no longer keep their dog due to change in circumstances such as a job relocation, divorce, birth of a baby, move to an apartment, move to extended care facility, marriage, job loss or the dog is not the right breed for their lifestyle. We do NOT buy or deal in the selling of dogs acquired from puppy mills. Our web page is on Pet Finder: http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/FL271.html

Experienced terrier homes are needed to help foster our rescues in Florida. Due to the economics of today, many families are unable to care for pets and often turn them into local shelters or give them away as on Craigslist. Please contact us if you are interested in fostering or adopting.

* I WUVS TO PAY BALL *

2009-04-06T16:37:00.010-04:00

Jack, a 4 year old wire fox terrier, loves to play ball. He even brings it back! He would love a home with a boy or two to play with him. He would also do well with another doggie playmate.
Just NO cats!!

NEW LAKIE GIRL IN RESCUE

2009-03-15T11:29:00.011-04:00

Well folks, we have another lovable Lakie in rescue. She is a distant cousin to the ones who started this blog. Maggie May is her name and she was well trained and loved by her former owners, but her older sister became too bossy and fighting was too frequent. This is often the case with terriers, making it difficult to place same sex terriers together. True to terrier tradition, she terrorizes my cats. I just don't know if she wants to play with them or kill them! Either way, they keep out of her reach as you can see......

* HAPPY HEART DAY *

* New Home In The Works *

2009-02-09T19:24:00.004-05:00

Hey Ya'll,
Looks like a furever home is in sight. Someone found me on the computer and emailed me at rescue asking if I wanted to live with them. I'll keep you posted.

But, I made many new friends over at Petfinder that are still hoping for furever families. So get emailing all your friends today *** NOW!! :O)

* WOW, I FEEL LIKE A NEW MAN *

* WHO WOULDN'T LOVE THIS FACE *

2009-01-29T08:28:00.000-05:00

Ares and Dudley are two of several Wire Fox & Irish terriers that have come into rescue. Terriers make wonderful pets if you are the right home for them. They are a special breed that need a strong pack leader, fenced yard and plenty of interactive exercise. Come visit us on Petfinder.com if we are your future fur baby, but please do your homework first and learn all about our breed.

* HELP OUR BIG BRO FIND A HOME *

2009-01-27T20:02:00.000-05:00

I know he looks a little shaggy but our Big Bro has come on hard times. The same rescue group who took us in is looking for a furever home for Stanley. He loves to play in the water and fetch. And yes, he will drop the toy on command, unlike some of us!! He's at the vet now for a check-up and then off to the groomers an extreme make-over.
If you are looking for a wagging tail off the old block, just contact Schnauzer and Fox Terrier Rescue of Florida on Petfinder.com

Oh, by the way you can see Little Sis, Stella, over at the
Republic of GooberStan

Quick shower and I feel great!

* HOMES AT LAST! *

2008-05-22T09:00:00.000-04:00

Looks as though all the pups and mama have new homes. Thanks everyone for your concern and support!!

* COUNTING DOWN *

2008-04-25T06:27:00.000-04:00

Three or more of the pups have their furever home. The young mother is still hoping. Onana is almost 3 years old. She was born 9-9-05. Onana is very calm, sweet, docile and somewhat needy but this is very normal for a dog who has lived in a puppymill. She has a wonderful, temperament and loves everyone. She is very happy in the house and seems to be house trained. Poor baby had to be clipped short, to get the matts out of her fur. Good thing hair grows. She will be beautiful once her coat grows back. Onana isn't ready to leave me yet. She is current on vaccinations, microchipped, fecal, heartworm tested, but isn't spayed yet. This will be done on April 15th. I will post updated pictures. Please keep her in mind, if you are looking for a Young female Terrier who needs and deserves LOTS of TLC.

* NOT TWO NOT THREE BUT FIVE *

2008-04-18T08:37:00.000-04:00

Our adorable little Welsh Puppies in rescue are from a Puppymill in MO. There are five: 2 boys and 3 girls. Born 2-9-08 Health checked, microchipped, fecal and vaccinations current for their age. They are healthy, happy, playful and full of Terrier energy. All and the mother are looking for new homes with terrier experience & time to train and work with a Puppy.

I DO NOT ship, so you would have to be willing to travel by car or fly with a puppy.

Application, vet reference and home visit are required to adopt.

For more information about these Little Sweethearts, please contact ccswires@netins.net.

* HOME AT LAST *

2008-02-09T12:54:00.000-05:00

Just an update to thank everyone who helped with these special lakies. Final arrangements are being made for the last of the three boys to go to his furever home. All the black lakies were rehomed in Florida. All have received basic training and will continue under the adoption agreement with their obedience training.

* HAPPY NEW YEAR *

* Noche Meet Dogzilla-A Home Movie *

2007-11-18T10:04:00.000-05:00

Noche before he left for his furever home in Tampa, FL. And Missy, a 3 month old toy size schnauzer in foster care. I think she got up on the wrong side of the bed! :O) cause we really did get along and play all day. My two bros still in rescue look similar to me. They need furever homes with playful peeps that will keep them occupied & attend obedience and agility training. Lakies are very much a pack animal so they should do well with another doggie in the home.

* Two Homes Found *

2007-11-07T08:10:00.000-05:00

Update Nov. 9th, only one pup was adopted after all. We select only the best homes for our rescues. Please check out all our precious terriers at petfinders.com

Great news. Noche, the fishin' Lakie, and his brother are going to their new homes very soon. Both boys will remain in Florida and hopefully attend obedience classes. They are very loving pups with minds of their own! Only one black Lakie boy remains in foster care. We hope his Christmas wish come true, too!

* Lets Go Fishing *

2007-10-27T14:27:00.000-04:00

He jumped (or ? fell) in right after the camera was turned off. He loves the water and the fish food!! :O)

* Christmas Is Coming *

2007-10-26T08:44:00.001-04:00

Still looking for furever homes for Christmas for 3 Lakie boys.

Well folks, I am almost home. My foster mommy has tears in her eyes, but she still has my brother to keep her busy. My new Bro's person said she was flying in Tuesday to take me home. Keep in touch with us on this blog and me & Stanley. I will be getting a new name too! Keep your paws crossed that my three brothers get new furever homes for Christmas. Yes, it is almost that time.

* Brother Comes To Visit *

2007-10-20T18:55:00.000-04:00

Oh boy, my brother has come to visit! His trip to California has been cancelled, so he'll stay here until another furever home is found. He's OK with it though and we played all day. Let's see ** we played tag all through the house, splashed in the water bowl, and hunted squirrel bones!

* NOT MUCH LONGER, STANLEY! *

2007-10-19T10:32:00.002-04:00

Stanley, I don't know what all the fuss is about, but every one seems to be getting excited over at your blog. Not sure about your cat buddy, MERV. The ones around here won't run when I bark. They just hiss and walk away. That's no fun! :O)

I love my toys ** Looking for some new ones. HINT! HINT! I like flip-flops and sneakers, too. HEE HEE! I haven't heard how my brother is doing. I hope he lets us know how the flight home was. My foster mommy is getting sad. She says Lakies are a special kinda doggie!! It's very hard saying goodbye. :0(

I wonder what I will be for Halloween? Trick or Treat is what I am all about!! Cute Halloween word game site:

* On Our Way Home *

2007-10-15T08:28:00.000-04:00

Well, we have been in rescue less than a month and have been poked & prodded with needles & pills. Looks like we are healthy & happy pups. Some of us will soon have new furever homes!! Where in the world is Kansas? California? Pennsylvania? Will I get to meet Dorothy & Toto? And what is snow?

It doesn’t look like we will ever see each other again. But hey, we live in a mobile society & we’re ready to move on. Our brothers still need active, loving homes. Interested? Check out: http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/FL271.html

* Our Sister In Rescue Gets A Home *

2007-10-06T11:55:00.001-04:00

Summer is going to her new home today. She hopes her new family will keep up with her blog with new photos and all. So, be sure to visit and chat with her.

* Every Day is Exciting *

2007-10-06T07:30:00.000-04:00

Every day is soooo exciting for us. Chasing tennis balls and playing tug-of -war are our favorites. We would add chasing the cat, but we are not supposed to do that. Hee Hee :-)

Terriers are notorious for chasing anything that moves. Don't think we will do well in a home with cats, hamsters and the like when we grow up!! :-(

We would like to thank Hardee Animal Clinic for such good care during our first days in rescue. Those girls are the greatest and Doc is so gentle**needles and all.
