Members of Toy Fox Terrier Rescue engage in saving our favorite breed from overcrowded pounds, kill shelters, puppymills, backyard breeders, straying the streets and any unfavorable situation a tiny terrier might find itself. We also serve as mediums for families in trouble who can no longer care for their Toy Fox Terriers such as senior citizens who find themselves in poor health and unable to continue care for a beloved pet or those adversely affected by our economy and don't want to see their pampered pets become unhealthy and uncared for due to finances. We can't save them all, but we do what we can.

The Toy Fox Terrier is intelligent, alert, very active and friendly. She will become your personal body guard and is completely loyal to her owners. She learns new tasks quickly, is eager to please, and adapts to almost any situation. The Toy Fox Terrier is self-possessed, spirited, determined and not easily intimidated. She will take on the personality of her household. She is a highly animated toy dog that is comical, entertaining, energetic and playful all her life.

There are four color types: Tri-color, Chocolate and Tan, White and Tan, and White and Black. Toy Fox Terriers may be as small as 3 to 4 pounds and as large as 12 to 15 pounds. Its height will fall between 8 ½ inches up to 13 inches. We try not to place a dog in a home with children less than 5 years of age; however, we do evaluate on an individual basis. Families with small children might consider a larger breed as the size of the Toy Fox Terrier leaves them suseptible to injury from rough play.

If you are considering adopting one of our tiny wonders, acquaint yourself with the breed. Be sure you are suited for a very active, fearless, small dog that is a giant in spirit. Adoption applications are available on the AKC parent club web site: www.atftc.com
