FOX TERRIER RESCUE NORTHEAST

We are a group of unpaid volunteers that foster Wire and Smooth Fox Terriers and are devoted to finding them forever homes. All our
dogs are in foster homes or with their families. We do not have a shelter. We work together in a network (American Fox Terrier Rescue,
Inc.) of caring people throughout the U.S.and Canada who love Fox Terriers. As members of American Fox Terrier Rescue, Inc.(a 501c-
3 non-profit organization) we cover NJ, PA, MA, and NY State. We also help the Foxies in these states as well: CT,RI, NH,VT & ME.
Please remember we are all volunteers with jobs, families, and personal commitments. We ask that you be patient. We will answer e-
mails and phone calls as quickly as possible. We know how anxious you are to adopt a new friend, but please be considerate when
waiting to hear from us.

To prevent the cruelty, abuse, or neglect of Fox Terriers

To enhance the lives of our adopters by adding unconditional love to their lives

To provide rescue services, rehabilitation, and medical treatment for Fox Terriers

To place rescued Fox Terriers in appropriate homes

To furnish information, education, and support to Fox Terrier owners

Fox Terrier Rescue takes in Smooths and Wires from shelters, puppy mills, strays, and owner relinquishes. We help dogs who have lost
their homes through divorce or death of their owners, owner relocation, birth of a baby, not getting along with housemates, retirement,
job changes, medical or behavior issues......the reasons are numerous. And, most of the time it is due to no fault of the dog. Many come
from wonderful homes, but through life changes, the Foxie is in need of a new home.

First, don't wait until the problem escalates into something serious. If you have purchased a puppy/dog from a reputable breeder, call
them and ask for suggestions and help. A reliable breeder, will be able to work with you and your dog to eliminate the problems or will
take their dog back if needed.

If you did not get your Fox Terrier from a responsible breeder, then you have a bigger challenge. Commercial and "backyard" breeders
are primarily interested in making money. There is little knowledge of the breed or of the dog's needs. In many cases, the family finds
out too late that this cute little "fuzz ball" is not a lap dog. But instead, they have a ball of energy who needs lots of attention and
exercise. Most Fox Terriers remain active throughout their entire life and require time for exercise. If this is not possible in your schedule,
then both you and the dog might be happier if she is in another home.

Education is the key. Knowing the Fox Terrier temperament and needs can make a big difference. With help, many problems can be
eliminated. Sometimes if the problems are serious, a professional trainer or behaviorist should be contacted. Like raising a child, having
a Fox Terrier in your life takes time, patience, and commitment.

If you are having problems with your Fox Terrier, please contact us right away. We are always willing to help in any way we can. Our first
choice is to keep the dog with his family. If that is not possible, then we will work together to find a new home for your dog.

ABOUT US

Sister Alice Marie(author), Rocky, & Sister Angela

Sr Alice Marie was only nine years old when her Mom gave her a puppy. It was the cutest terrier on four feet and this was the beginning of
Sister's love for canines. As a young person she had felines, canines and equines in her world. Strayed baby animals were always brought
home: birds, turtles, rabbits, guinea pigs, baby chicks and ducks.

However, when she chose to become a nun at age 21 her love of animals had to be put aside to pursue her vocational training. Sr. Alice
Marie has spent 45 years in the field of education as either a teacher or an administrator. Sr. Alice has a B.S. Degree from Fordham
University, M.A. in English and Ed.S in Administration and Supervision from Seton Hall University. Sister is an avid reader and loves to write
creatively.

So this book came to be in order to create awareness of the need for love, care and concern in the lives of children and dogs The
innocence and unconditional love of a dog is a reflection of an anonymous quote which says, "God didn't want man to live alone so He
created the dog".

ABOUT THE BOOK

As a Sister, I have rescued different dogs and kept them until their journey to the Rainbow Bridge.

At present, the dog at the heart of this book is a flat haired fox terrier. He was adopted from a Terrier rescue couple at age 8. Rocky's
situation was similar to that of a foster child. He was passed around multiple times, placed in situations beyond his control and he struggled
to make adjustments. Now, he is a 10 year old loving, intelligent terrier keeping the sisters, elderly people, and youngsters all enchanted
with his unconditional love, protection and antics.

The book is a profound mixture of compassion, concern and love for God, children and canines. The need for security in a world of furry
creatures and little people is apparent and sadly missing in our lives. Neither children, nor dogs understand "the why" of lack of concern
and feeling unwanted. Feelings such as: anxiety, exclusion, unlovability, loneliness and inferiority are threats in their lives.

Rocky and all animals are a daily presence of the Lord's desire for us not to feel abandoned. This book evolved as Sister experienced a
profound mixture of compassion, concern and love for God, children and canines. In a world of chaos, Sister felt empathy is needed for
children, canines and marginalized people.

"A pound isn't any place for a terrier. We are loving, emotional, intelligent and affectionate dogs. This place was
overcrowded with dogs and each one had a day of entry and of exit. The exit time was called Euthanasia. I howled, barked
and cried until I was exhausted. I wanted someone to love and love me in return. This place for me was not a doggy dream,
but a nightmare! I watched other dogs taken from their cages never to return. Strange! Where did they go?"
