Lee Major was found tied to a garbage can near Orange Blossom Trail and John Young Parkway by a wonderful police officer.  Instantly the officer untied him, picked him up, and put him in his sqaud car.  After feeding him, bathing him, and letting him rest the officer brought him to us knowing that we would find someone to give him a second chance at life.  Are you that someone?

Foster Update: Lee Majors has been with for about two weeks now and he is settling in as if he has been with us from the beginning.  He is a spunky little guy and loves to run and play with my four bassets and despite his size he keeps up and loves to wrestle!!  He also loves to play fetch and play with all the toys we have and go for walks on the leash.  He is also getting very good at his body signals and is letting us know when he has to go out to the bathroom.  He sleeps through the night and for the most part a very quiet puppy which is nice  :>) 

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, in developing the Terriers, we know today breeders crossed ancient Dachshunds, the English Hound, and later the Foxhound and Beagle. One of the oldest Terriers, the Fox Terrier was used in the 18th century to hunt foxes in England. Its job was to harass fox out of its hole. The dog would snap and growl and lunge at the hiding fox until it bolted. They were also very useful ratters. The Wire was bred for use in rough country, its coat being less vulnerable to damage than that of the Smooth Fox Terrier. Today, the Fox Terrier is primarily a companion dog. The Wirehaired and Smooth Fox Terriers are sometimes regarded as the same breed, although it has been separated in the United States since 1984. Some of the Fox Terrier's talents include: hunting, tracking, watchdogging, agility and performing tricks. The Wirehaired Fox Terrier is a bold and energetic Terrier. They are enthusiastically playful especially with children, but have been known to bite. They are affectionate with the family and do not hide their jealously. Cheerful and brave. They are ready to charge at all times. Scrappy and impulsive. This lovable dynamo is great at learning tricks. Amazing stories are told of the animal's loyalty and devotion. This dog enjoys being part of the family and will become destructive without enough exercise and attention. One of the most aggressive breeds, the Fox Terrier has a pronounced tendency to pick fights with other dogs, even large ones, and are not generally trustworthy with other pets. The Fox Terrier will also hunt and possibly kill other none K-9 animals, such as birds, if given the chance. Be careful, as the Fox Terrier has often bitten, and although they love to play, they should be watched with children. If the Fox Terrier is properly socialized and introduced they can get along just fine with other dogs in the family. Keep this breed properly leashed or in a completely enclosed area, because the Fox Terrier likes to go off and explore. Fox Terriers like to bark and make good watchdogs, although the high-pitched barking can be annoying and may cause problems with neighbors. They may be too boisterous for elderly owners. They are willful and need to be firmly obedience trained from an early age. Behavior problems may include dominance challenges, especially with meek owners; guarding objects, places and their own food from the owner, and excessive barking. They have a life expectancy of 15 years or more.
