Miss Peaches was released to rescue due to suspected liver shunt, which was diagnosed and surgically treated by Iowa State Veterinary College. The successfully surgery will allow her to live a normal life with an average lifespan.
While she is totally adorable, Peaches also has a sweet and darling disposition! She uses her looks and charm to coerce everyone she meets into holding her in their arms and falling under her spell!
Peaches is crate trained and is perfecting her house training skills. She loves to play with dogs her size and would be best with a canine companion.
Local applicants will receive priority as Peaches has quite a following of "aunties" in the Omaha area who would love to be able to see her as she grows and thrives.
Currently weighing in at just under 7 pounds, Peaches will remain small as a full-grown adult Norwich Terrier. While small, she does not lack s***k and has regained her strength and energy post-surgery. Her future medical needs will require a strict low-calorie diet and blood work a minimum of once yearly.
She has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on vaccinations. While she is not on our website, applications can be found at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com

Missa came to us at the beginning of January, and after 9 months in rescue, and a foster family who adored her, Missa has finally been found by her forever mom! All was meant to be, as the application came in over the week weekend, references were called Wednesday, home visit done Thursday, and today was going home day! Her new mom was already in love when she applied, but fell more in love when she met her yesterday. For some reason, there was little interest in Missa, which doesn't happen often with this foster families dogs. But the perfect home always finds their foster dogs, and this was no exception. Missa has an adoring mom who wants a cuddle, and she also has a elderly new fur sibling to be friends with and keep company. We couldn't have chosen a better family for her. Foster family will miss her terribly, but we are overjoyed that her forever has finally found her.

Dude is a young adult male, we think between 2-4 years of age, and is a purebred Norwich Terrier. He is a happy, playful guy with loads of energy to keep up with your active family. Dude would love a small playful canine companion and a securely fenced yard as his leash skills are a work in progress. Still working on housetraining, Dude sleeps in his kennel at night and when his foster mom leaves the house.

Adoption donation for Dude is $600 which goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our rescue dogs. Adoption applications can be found on our website at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com

Dottie, a 4-5 month old female Bull Terrier is looking for her perfect family! Good candidates will have some older children to romp with, a fenced yard, perhaps a playful canine companion, and a family with a hearty sense of humor.

Dottie takes direction well and is easily trainable, will be a fun dog for anyone wanting to include her in their every day activities.
Adoption donation for Dottie is $500 and applications can be found on our website www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com

Kirk Douglas lived 9 years in an unheated shed with his son Michael (see separate post) They were given no names, were filthy, loaded with fleas, had bad teeth, no vet care and very little human contact. Even with all that, Kirk and son are both the most affectionate loving boys you'll ever meet.

We were thrilled these darling boys could, finally, live the life they so deserved.....a life filled with soft, fluffy blankets and toys, nutritious food and a loving family! After several visits to our wonderful vet, we were dismayed to discover that Kirk was suffering from cancer, B-cell Lymphoma to be exact. Best scenario he can live a "normal" life span. Our goal for him is still to find that family to love and cherish while he remains on a maintenance dose of medication to keep the cancer from spreading.

Kirk is a 9-year-old, 15 lb., long hair, black-n-tan dachshund. He is a happy man who definitely wants to stay close to his person. Velcro dog is an understatement. He will follow (or walk in front of) you EVERYWHERE. Once you sit down, he'll be right beside you, keeping you company. He does well in a kennel and will gladly go in with some help from treats.

After an initial meeting, Kirk does well with other small dogs and even large dogs. He can get a tad possessive of his person but is learning that his low quiet growl is not getting him anywhere but placed on the floor. He loves to eat, which is magnified by the medication he is on. In order to keep him from "helping himself" to others' food he is currently fed in his kennel.

Favorite pastime is exploring and hunting outside. Once Kirk sees a bunny or squirrel he is obsessed and will no longer hear or see you or anything else. He is determined to get the critter. Hence, a secure fence is suggested. He does alright with a leash, but it is a bit foreign to him still. He continues to work on potty training since he lived in a shed and didn't have any rules, making learning boundaries and expectations a slow process.

Kirk is a sweet fellow who simply needs some extra care and lots of love in the last few years of his life. It's a special thing to open your home to a cancer dog for however long they may have, but then, Kirk Douglas is a special dachie.

Adoption donation for Kirk is $125 which goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our rescue dogs. Adoption applications can be found on our website at www.wagntainterrierrescue.com

This lovely little redhead is still looking for her happily ever after! Gladys (aka Ruby Sue) is a 4 yr old red long hair female dachshund recently released from the commercial breeding industry. She's a very sweet little girl that's very nervous and skittish when she first meets you due to her past experience with people. But once she feels she can trust you, she's a snuggly, happy little girl that would love to spend all her time with you. And she's starting to show glimpses of a fun personality just waiting to come out.
Gladys enjoys spending time with other small dogs. She loves to run and play, so would absolutely love to have a young playful canine friend in her forever home. She will require another small dog in her forever home to help model appropriate behaviors and to run and wrestle with.
Gladys loves toys. She doesn't really play with them, she hoards them. Her canine companion needs to be willing to share toys, because she's sneaky and will take toys from everyone else. The same with food and treats. She figures that since she's willing to share, everyone else should be, too. She's not food aggressive at all. Just nosy and likes to taste what others have.
Gladys does well in the kennel. Although she would prefer not to be in the kennel, she's quiet and waits patiently for you to let her out.
Gladys is struggling a bit with potty training. She's very nervous outside. Any noise startles her, causing her to run to the door and want inside. A securely fenced yard is a must for Gladys, but it would be even better if it was in a quiet area/on a quiet street. (Added bonus for a privacy fence!) As she has gotten more confident and comfortable in her foster home, she has been doing much better with potty training. But it will be something you will need to be patient with. (High value treats help too!)
Gladys is just starting to learn to walk on a leash. That's a work in progress, too. She does best paired with a confident dog with good leash skills. But again, loud noises will startle her and she'll try to run from them.
Gladys has a fun, silly side that she's just starting to show. She gets a little sassy when you take too long to make meals. She makes canine friends easily and loves to play with them. She likes to steal kitchen towels. She loves doing zoomies in the yard. She loves to snuggle with you while you watch TV or work on the computer. (Bonus points for belly rubs!)
Gladys still has some "baggage" from her past. Like she won't come to you if you're standing up. You need to sit down. She will hide under or behind furniture when anxious. Since she's nervous with sudden/loud noises, she will do best in a fairly quiet home with no small kids.
With patience and a little time, Gladys is going to be a fantastic little dog. Fill out an app today to adopt Gladys at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com
