Toy Fox Terrier puppies and dogs in Mokena, Illinois

Hello, My name is Dodge. I was found wondering the streets on December 16th 2024. I was running under cars trying to avoid getting hit, but because I wanted to be saved, I just couldn't resist "dodging" into traffic! The lady that saved me was already fostering for a dog through a rescue called woofwoof fosters. It was then that i knew that i would be in great hands. I have seen the vet a few times and also went to UT in Knoxville, TN at the rehab center for small animals. I was told that I am approx. 10 years old. I do come with some things that will need to be monitored, but nothing too bad really. The vet wants me to stay on a heart pill that is supposed to help with my suspected heart murmur. I am using eye ointment once every 12 hours and am not allowed to jump up and down on things. I go back to UT for a recheck in Feb. I will go outside to potty and will also use a pee pad. I am looking for my forever home where I can spend the rest of my days in a loving home. I have been through allot, but I am looking forward to cuddling with you! I am very vocal when I'm not being held if you are near me. I just love melting in your arms for a nice long cosey nap, Below is what was sent to my rescue home from UT. Please take a look and see if its something that you wouldn't mind dealing with so I can be your little companion for a while. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to my rescue mommy who is also the founder of woofwoof fosters. She is a really nice lady that is tending to my needs. ( the rescue is also located on her property).

MICHELLE ESPY WOOFWOOF FOSTERS MONROE COUNTY ANIMAL HOSPITAL 3790 CLAY HOLLOW ROAD 116 SANDS ROAD SWEETWATER, TN 37874 CANINE MIXED BREED DOG SWEETWATER, TN 37874 MC 2014 BLK/WHT 423 337 7432/423 337 2494 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATE OF ADMISSION: JAN 09, 2025@10:00 DATE OF DISCHARGE: JAN 09, 2025@_____ CLINICIAN(S): MARTI DRUM DVM, PhD, DACVSMR STUDENT: Bobbie Jo Bennett ============================================================================= DIAGNOSIS: 1. Thin body condition 2. Lumbosacral pain - open etiology 3. Left hip pain - open etiology 4. Heart disease (open etiology) - Grade 4/6 murmur - suspect mitral valve disease 5. Hair loss 6. Generalized muscle atrophy (moderately severe) weight: 4.09 kgs (9 lbs.) ============================================================================= CASE SUMMARY: Dodge is an approximately 10 year old male castrated mixed breed dog that presented to UTCVM Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Service for hindlimb lameness and ataxia. He was found 12/16/24 under a truck and taken to a veterinarian where he received radiographs (x-rays) that indicated chronic intervertebral disc disease at the thoracolumbar spinal junction. On physical exam Dodge had some moderate pain in his left hip on extension, moderate pain on compression of the ilial wings bilaterally, and moderate pain on tail extension. Other abnormal physical exam findings included a grade 4/6 heart murmur, some moderate debris in both ears, and some moderate alopecia (hair loss) along his back. All other vital parameters were within normal limits and his neurologic exam was normal. As discussed, there were a couple of different diagnostic and treatment options. One plan included sedated pelvic radiographs to evaluate the hip and lumbosacral junction. If significant arthritis documented, a course of anti-inflammatories if significant arthritis or lumbosacral disease was present. If fully characterizing the degree and cause of his heart disease is a goal, an echocardiogram to determine his heart's current size and function is the starting point. As we discussed, since he is currently on Vetmedin, if his heart is normal on echo it could be an effect of the Vetmedin improving his heart size. A true baseline would be to perform an echo after discontinuing Vetmedin for 30 days. If his echo while on Vetmedin, than routine cardiac follow up per the cardiologist would be standard of care for monitoring progression (usually a repeat echo every 3-12 months depending on severity of disease). Because Dodge still us underweight and just beginning to stabilize into a normal home, we recommended continuing good nutritional support, time, and monitoring to see if Dodge's weakness persists once he gains muscle mass. Though we had also discussed adding fish oils, Dodge had a positive pancreatitis test during his vomiting episode. Fats in the diet can sometimes trigger pancreatitis, so we are recommending waiting until his body weight normalizes before introducing any additional fat into the diet. Similarly, the addition of the anti-inflammatories could disrupt the GI system and since his mobility is fully functional, we prefer to wait at this time to start any anti- inflammatories. If you note worsening of his mobility, difficulty rising or limping on the left hind, then we would consider starting an NSAID medication for dogs. ============================================================================= MEDICATIONS: 1. Vetmedin 1.25 mg: Give as previously prescribed 2. Optimmune: Give as previously prescribed ============================================================================= CURRENT RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Continue Dodge's current diet & caloric intake. We calculated his energy requirement as 361 Kcal/day and his Purina One Small Bites contains 362 Kcal. The Lil Cesar's contain between 60-80 Kcal per packet. It is fine to continue the kibble and Cesar wet food at this time. 2. Continue his Dasuquin joint supplement. 3. Monitor for any signs of noticeable gait changes or pain (limping, lameness, holding a paw up, dragging or scuffing paws, swelling, vocalizing or reacting to palpation, unusual posturing, etc.) 4. Regular exercise: We do want Dodge to rebuild muscle as he is gaining weight. The best low impact exercise would be walking. We recommend starting the 10-20 minute walks once daily. ============================================================================= FUTURE RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Consider adding in an omega 3 supplement (fish oil) if skin/coat does not respond to a high quality balanced diet. 2. Consider an echocardiogram for full cardiac evaluation with the Cardiology service. ============================================================================= RECHECK EXAM: WHEN: In about 6 weeks (~February 20th) WHERE: UTCVM Physical rehabilitation service WHY: Re-evaluation of mobility, hips, and lower back for further treatment options. ============================================================================= Thank you so much for bringing in Dodge today. He was the sweetest boy!!! If you have any other questions or concerns about Dodge's care, please don't hesitate to reach out. /es/ MARTI DRUM DVM, PhD, DACVSMR SACS Rehabilitation Signed: 01/09/2025 13:27 for BOBBIE JO BENNETT MSc, Clinical Student - Class of 2025 /es/ MARTI DRUM DVM, PhD, DACVSMR SACS Rehabilitation Cosigned: 01/09/2025 13:27 ** END ** This animal is being fostered in the South but transport to a location near you is included in your adoption fee.

KATHERINE HEPBURN was rescued from a breeder turned hoarder situation when things got out of control the past few years. She bred Wire Fox Terriers and Silky Terriers and this was an oops mix litter. KATIE is the sweetest, most gentle and loving little girl you ever met. She is independent and more outgoing than her brother and very smart. She weighs 10 pounds, is 10 months old and is tenacious at rolling over and begging for a tummy rub. It was hard to get pictures as she immediately rolls on her back when she sees you. Katie has a lovely silky soft coat and resembles a little Yorkie. Beautiful eyes and a personality to match. Very calm, quiet, well behaved and an angel. She too loves to be petted, brushed and loved on. She is super athletic, can jump up to your face from the ground and shows off leaping on the furniture. She gets very excited and happy to see you. Katie is also a great eater and has the habit of picking up the food bowl and taking it to her bed. She is friendly with other dogs, plays well with them unless they are rough and she is submissive and wants back inside. She and her brother have the best time running in the yard, exploring and when called run right in as fast as they can. Katie is a pocket sized princess, someone to easily carry around and bring with and travel where ever you go. She is such a fun, lovable little girl who deserves a wonderful life. A home where someone was home often to bond, work on training, leash walking and spoiling a little princess. She is Spayed, Rabies, Distemper, Bordatella Vaccinations, HW Tested, on HW preventative, Microchipped.

HUMPHREY BOGART was rescued from a breeder turned hoarder situation when things got out of control the past few years. She bred Wire Fox Terriers and Silky Terriers and this was an oops mix litter. BOGEY is adorable and has the silly and mishchievous traits of a Wire Fox. He is sweet, well-behaved and does love attention. His head is larger like a Wire Fox, expressive eyes, happy smile and a beautiful coat. It is thick and has areas of harshness. Bogey is 10 months old and weighs 15 pounds. He likes to play with his sister Katie, they run and leap through the air, then roll around with each other in the donut bed. Outside a game of chase in the back yard and they can run very fast. When tired he will curl up in the donut bed for a nap and sometimes together. Bogey is a good eater, loves his food and especially treats. A funny feature is he picks up his dish and brings it to his bed to eat. When there are treat sticks, he picks up his sisters and carries two sometimes three around in his mouth! Friendly with other dogs, has fun running in the yard with the other puppies and Fabio. Another hilarious part of his personality is when telling him he is a good boy or waiting for a treat, he makes this silly grin with his teeth. Reminds me of this chihuahua on Tik Tok and it cracks me up. Bogey can be timid with new people or situations, needs time to feel at ease and trust and then he is your best friend. I sit with him, tell him what a good boy he is, give him some kisses and he is in heaven. He loves to be petted and brushed, rolls over for a tummy rub, very cooperative for touching and just about anything. I am sure his mom was Myrna Loy as he has that same chubby rear end and wiggles when he walks. Bogey is fully vetted, healthy and has a life is good attitude going on. New Year and a new life and he would love a Forever Home that dotes on him, making him feel special and loved. A home where someone was home often to bond, work on training, leash walking and giving him a pampered life. He is Neutered, Rabies, Distemper, Bordatella Vaccinations, HW Tested, on HW preventative, Microchipped.

ERROL FLYNN is a swashbuckling 10-month-old Wire Fox boy who weighs 13 pounds with a gorgeous, wiry coat, melting eyes and mischievous personality. The brown marking his rear and up the tail is special. He is a leader of the band of merry men and while friendly with everyone, he will take command and initiate the game of chase. Errol is loving and enjoys human attention and interaction, playing with toys and his sister, the lovely Olivia. They will curl up in the same donut bed, eat their dinners but then a disagreement perhaps over a chew bone. He can be a little dickens, sticks his entire snout in the water bowl, then his feet, and eventually splashes all of the water out. While at the vet he did pull back and out of his collar and the great chase was on to catch the dashing little guy. Errol is also very curious, checking out everything even sticking his nose in the soapy bucket coming out with a sudsy Santa beard. He is quiet and well-behaved in the house, has great fun running in the yard with a gang of outlaws. He does best with dogs his size or larger. While he is enjoying his time here in Sherwood Forest, he would love a Forever Home of his own to fill his loot bag with riches and rewards of being a pampered, spoiled, coddled and loved Wire Fox Terrier boy. Errol is Neutered, Absorbable Sutures, Laser Therapy after Surgery, Rabies, Distemper, Bordatella Vaccinations, Heartworm Tested Negative, on HW Preventative, and Microchipped.
