Norwich Terrier Rescue of Illinois and the Midwest places unwanted, homeless or abandoned norwich terriers, and occasionally other breeds, into pre-screened homes. (Our dogs can also be seen at www.saveadog.petfinder.org). Each dog is checked by a veterinarian, given all shots, tested for heartworms, spayed or neutered, treated for any illnesses or medical problems that are found, and micro-chipped.
We make a special attempt to rescue dogs from puppy mills, and to educate the public about the inhumane and cruel conditions of these types of breeding facilities.
Prior to placement, our dogs live in foster homes where they are socialized and cared for until they are adopted into a permanent home. Norwich Terrier Rescue of Illinois and the Midwest is always in need of volunteer foster homes. If you would be willing to open your home to temporarily foster one of these wonderful deserving animals, please contact us by E-mail (see below).
Some people may be surprised to know that Norwich Terriers need rescue. In fact, the problem of homeless and abandoned Norwich Terriers is becoming more pronounced. Due to the high demand for this wonderful little dog, sadly, we are now seeing more and more Norwich Terriers (and Norfolk Terriers) entering the puppy mills, showing up in animal controls, and animal shelters across the county. While still relatively unusual when compared to most other breeds, all that is changing due to the high demand for these dogs as pets. As a result, the population of dogs needing rescue is increasing every year.
Norwich Terrier Rescue of Illinois and the Midwest requires a completed adoption application and home screening. Since Norwich Terrier Rescue of Illinois and the Midwest does not ship dogs, adopters must be willing to drive to the Northern Illinois greater Chicago area to pick up their animal. Prospective adoptive homes must meet adoption criteria. In all cases, the final placement decisions are based on the suitability of each dog for a particular home. You may request an adoption application by E-mail. While we tell adopters about the behavior we observed, we cannot be sure that we have seen all aspects of the dog's behavior, nor can we be certain that all medical conditions have been diagnosed. We therefore make no guaranties or representations as to the health, fitness, demeanor, or well-being of each dog.
A non-refundable adoption donation to Norwich Terrier Rescue of Illinois and the Midwest helps to defray a portion of the medical care costs related to rescuing these dogs.
The person adopting the dog promises that the dog will not be sold, traded, or disposed of in any way, before informing Norwich Terrier Rescue of Illinois and the Midwest, which shall hold the option of reassuming custody of the dog. Norwich Terrier Rescue of Illinois and the Midwest may examine and make inquiry regarding the dog at any time.

If you are only interested in a puppy and would like a referral to purchase a puppy from a reputable breeder please send an email to the address below.
Only contact info for breeders who require spay/neuter contracts and/or who sell altered puppies, who microchip, and who will take their puppies back if needed by the buyer, will be made available. Referrals for show quality puppies will not be provided, only referrals for pet puppies will be made available. No referrals for puppies to be used for breeding will be made available.
The Norwich Terrier is a wonderful and adorable durable companion. Reputable breeders provide an important service, you may have to wait for a puppy, but being patient means fewer puppy mills producing Norwich so please if you are looking for a puppy to purchase do try to be part of the solution, not part the problem.
