Story
History: Ashley is a beautiful girl who needed a second chance at a good life. She quickly wriggled her way into our hearts with how sweet and loving she is and she would make a great addition to a lucky home of her own soon! A Note from the Foster: ✨ Meet Ashley ✨ This sweet girl is equal parts playful and gentle, with the happiest tail that never seems to stop wagging. She likes exploring the toy bin and has even joined her foster sibling in a bark or two when she’s feeling extra spirited. She’s been such a good girl in her crate, sleeping through the night with only a few minutes of whimpers at the start. Every night she’s kept her crate clean and dry, which makes her foster mom very proud! Potty training is off to a great start, she goes outside regularly and should catch on quickly with a little patience. She’s still learning that pets and cuddles are safe and wonderful, but she already likes to follow her foster mom around, walk in happy little circles when spoken to, and will even sneak in gentle hand kisses. She wants to be close without being too clingy, which makes her the perfect balance of independent and affectionate. Outside, she’s catching on to leash walking (though she likes to trail behind for now). She has an energetic side when she’s playing but also knows how to relax and curl up, she even snoozed for hours wrapped in a cozy blanket, finally letting herself feel comfortable and safe. She gets along great with the resident small dog, coexisting peacefully without any issues. This sweetheart is still coming out of her shell and will continue to grow into her personality with time. If you’re looking for a gentle, playful companion who’s ready to blossom into her best self, she just might be the perfect match for you!

History: Zoey FKA Starr was recently returned to rescue when she was not bonding well with her adopter :( She thrives with another dog around and will need that in a future home. She is overall not the most cuddly dog BUT if you are okay with her in your presence, enjoying a good nap, and appreciating you in that way, she would LOVE to join your home!

Story
History: Emmitt is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon! A Note from the Foster: Meet Emmitt! Emmitt is a fun-loving little guy with a heart full of love to give. He’s happiest playing with any kind of ball and romping around with his two larger foster siblings. Emmitt gets along wonderfully with both small and large dogs and would truly thrive in a home with another canine companion. He’s also a total people pup — you’ll often find him right at your heels, eager to snuggle and shower you with kisses. Emmitt is working hard on his potty training and does best when kept on a consistent schedule. He’s doing great overnight and has very few accidents. Because he’s still young, he’ll also benefit from a basic obedience class (which is required for all dogs under two years old). As a Shih Tzu, Emmitt will need regular grooming every 4–6 weeks to keep his coat fluffy, clean, and soft. Like many young dogs, Emmitt is still learning the ropes of being a house pup. He’ll need a patient family willing to help him continue his potty training and manners — and to keep an eye on their belongings! He has been known to proudly parade off with a bathroom rug or two. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick and a sweet, snuggly companion to come home to, Emmitt is your guy!

History: Hilda is a beautiful girl who needed a second chance at a good life. She quickly wriggled her way into our hearts with how sweet and loving she is and she would make a great addition to a lucky home of her own soon! A Note from the Foster: Hi everyone, my name is Hilda and my foster mom says that makes sense because she says I am a little warrior due to all I have endured the first five years of my life. You see I am a commercial breeder survivor that entered rescue about a month ago and I have been trying so hard to be brave. New sounds scare me and I do not like meeting new people; however, I have started taking a few medications to make me more confident as well as gotten my ear infections treated and an extensive dental and I am starting to feel so much better. I recently discovered the fun toys in my foster mom's house and my favorites include a squeaky dinosaur and a large bone (it's my foster brothers and it's waaaay better than my small one even if it's the same size as me). I am getting better at walking on a leash as long as I can walk behind my foster mom. In fact, I usually follow her around the house all the time, always behind her so its easier to keep an eye on everything. I sleep in my kennel but sometimes I don't like not being around everyone else so I will let out a few barks to let them know. My favorite thing is being near my people but with just enough distance to do my own thing because I do still do not appreciate all their attention. I also enjoy following the other dogs around in the yard, I am starting to figure out how to play with them as well and they make it easier for me to be confident. My foster mom says that as I get more and more comfortable, I may enjoy touch more but I also may never be a "cuddly lap dog." She says I show my affection in my own ways but it will be important that my new family is patient with me and allows me to love them in my own way. If you are able to continue allowing Hilda to learn and grow her confidence on her own timeline, we look forward to hearing from you and meeting you. This warrior girl deserves her happily ever after.

Papillon

Hudson, WI
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs,
Story
History: Boots is a handsome young papillon who was surrendered by a commercial breeding program with some health concerns that we learned off upon arriving to rescue. The ultrasound confirmed that Boots has a congenital heart condition called a patent ductus arteriosus, or PDA. This is an abnormal blood vessel that connects two major arteries leaving the heart, the aorta and the pulmonary artery. This vessel is normal and necessary for a puppy in the womb, but it is supposed to seal off and close within a few days of birth. In Boot's case, this vessel remained open, or "patent." This is causing an abnormal amount of blood to be shunted from his body's circulation back into the circulation of his lungs. This abnormal blood flow is causing some extra work for the left side of his heart; a condition we call volume overload. Over a long period, this strain can cause the heart to enlarge and eventually fail, leading to fluid buildup in the lungs, which is known as congestive heart failure. Thankfully, Boot's PDA appears to be on the smaller size and the impact on his heart is currently mild, his left heart is only borderline enlarged. He is not in or near congestive heart failure at this time. While it is rare, another potential long-term risk is that the high blood flow could damage the lungs, leading to a reversal of blood flow through the PDA, which is a very serious complication. Because of these risks, the standard recommendation for any PDA is to close it. The procedure to fix a PDA is typically minimally invasive and has a very high success rate. A small incision is made in his inner thigh to access the femoral artery. Using a specialized live x-ray called fluoroscopy for guidance, a catheter is passed through the artery up to the PDA and deploy a special device called an occluder. This device stays in the vessel permanently and blocks the abnormal blood flow. Once the PDA is successfully closed, the dogs is considered cured and can go on to potentially live a normal, full lifespan. The outcomes for PDA closure are generally much more predictable and successful than for other procedures, though like anything, success rates are not 100%. But they are very high. The main potential for Boots is his size. At 8.5 pounds, he is just above the general lower weight limit for the standard devices and delivery systems that are available. He will need to have the procedure completed at U of M veterinary center by board certified cardiologists. At this time, we are waiting for a month or two for him to potentially grow a little more. The risk of his condition significantly worsening or reversing in the next few months is low, though not zero. A Note from the Foster: Hello! Miy name is Boots but I prefer Bootsie-Boooooo. I was born on Valentines Day and I am a love bug. I am nine months old and weigh 8.8 lbs and I am here to entertain you with my dancing, my zoomies, tail chasing especially when I catch it, and my sock stealing – I love Bombas. I really like treats and have learned to take them nicely. The nicer I am the more I get! I currently live with a 45 lb pittie and a 20 lb miniature poodle and we all get along and chase each other around the house. I play tug of rope with the big one and I always win! I am shy around new people (especially men – they are loud) till I understand they are nice and some even give me treats. I love going for walks, although my leash manners are progressing. I want to smell every leaf and always have to catch the leaf that opposite where I am walking. AND most of all I love running in my friends fenced in yard. I do not like kennels (I am told I protest too much) but I sleep nicely with my humans and love to curl up next to them whenever I can, sit in a lap or follow them from room to room. When we go new places, I ride in a bag over my human’s shoulder and peek my head out till I am comfortable. Sometimes when I am playing my tongue sticks out and I am told I am soooo cute. I really am working at potty training. My human takes me outside frequently and most of the time I get a head rub and treat when I do “potty”. At night I wear a bellyband and sometimes during the day if we know we won’t get out timely.I have not figured out how to let people know I need to go out.
