Toy Fox Terrier puppies and dogs in Livonia, Michigan

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.

Jack was born on an Amish farm June 7, 2020. He is a Toy Fox Terrier (but no papers). He is very affectionate and loves to sleep on the bed with me (in his bed). He’s very friendly and loves everyone that he meets. He jumps up in the air and talks to greet everyone. He is very playful and loves his toys! He’s a definitely a companion dog, loves to cuddle up & sit on my lap or just follow me around the house. At 2 1/2 years old he began having seizures. It’s under control as long as he’s takes his medication (refilled monthly) 2 X daily, 12 hours apart. He must have blood tests every 3 months to check that his medication levels are good. All immunizations are up to date. He does have a grass allergy. He’s ok as long as he’s not outside too long. He can be out longer but must have feet washed. I’ve had major surgery and can’t work. With a minimal income, I can’t afford to keep him. I do this with a heavy heart. He needs a loving family who can afford to care for him properly.

Visit our FAQ webpage for commonly asked questions about our adoption/foster process. Meet Gretel! Gretel is a hilarious, adorable, and endlessly entertaining 2-year-old pup who’s still figuring out grown-up dog life. She may look mature, but her puppy energy shines through in everything she does—she loves to zoom around, play, and happily shower anyone she trusts with hugs and kisses. Gretel is still mastering her house manners and would thrive with some consistent training. She uses potty pads in her foster home and is already making great progress. She gets along well with the other dogs in her house but won’t hesitate to stand up for herself—especially when provoked by her foster home’s feisty 5-pound yorkie! Gretel would love a playful canine companion but would also be perfectly content as the only dog in the home. While she can be shy or nervous in new situations, Gretel quickly warms up and becomes the life of the party. She loves squeaky toys, cozy naps on the couch beside her people, and of course—food. Gretel is small (15lbs) but exuberant and tends to jump when she’s excited, so a home without young children (under 6) would be best. She hasn’t been tested with cats. We’re not quite sure of her breed mix, but Gretel’s coat is soft, low-shedding, and doesn’t need regular trimming. She may take a little time to trust, but once she feels safe, you’ll discover her incredibly sweet, silly personality that brings joy every day.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal. Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed. The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label. Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by. December 8, 2025, 1:40 pm
