Toy Fox Terrier puppies and dogs in Princeton, Minnesota

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). Thank you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TITLE: DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS DATE OF NOTE: JAN 09, 2025@12:22 ENTRY DATE: JAN 09, 2025@12:23:03 AUTHOR: BENNETT,BOBBIE EXP COSIGNER: DRUM,MARTI URGENCY: STATUS: COMPLETED (34-96-26) DODGE DR. 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.

She started her glow-up by shredding her potty pad—not out of stress, but because apparently, destruction is her love language. Tossing it in the air like confetti? A+ entertainment. And once she decided the humans might not be out to ruin her life, she let me sneak in a quick pet… as long as I didn’t make eye contact. Classic Rachel. Then came the big moment—into my lap she went, trembling like a chihuahua in a snowstorm, only to fall asleep like I was the world's most boring Netflix show. Progress!  She’s enjoying some shopping trips to gain some confidence. That night she shocked everyone by sleeping through without peeing, pooping, or protest. If you knew her track record, you’d be asking what alien replaced our mess-making gremlin. And then—drumroll please—she peed outside for the first time. Not exactly Olympic gold, but in Rachel Land, it’s a huge win. She now follows Tyson, resident pup, like a little shadow, copying his every move, including bathroom breaks. Honestly, she thinks he’s the cool older sibling and we’re just her weird landlords. She’s also discovered she has opinions now. Crate her? Expect sassy barks. Leave her alone in the bathroom? Prepare for protest vocals. But let her cuddle with Tyson? Pure bliss. Don’t get too confident though—she’ll bounce around like a happy maniac with the dog pack, but try approaching her solo and she remembers she’s made of anxiety and secrets. Still, she’ll sneak in for treats if she thinks you aren’t paying attention. Classic Rachel move. Rachel has a soft soul.  She needs a quiet home without chaos to help her continue to build her confidence.  Her ideal home would have very little time of confinement away from her humans. She is a snuggler at night with her human, once she starts to trust, and she LOVES to cuddle up with other dogs on the softest bedding she can find. She’s not quite ready for center stage, but our shy little chaos goblin is coming into her own. Slow and steady wins the race—and she’s at least facing the right direction now. RachelLeighCook is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

She is a cautious girl who takes a little time to feel comfortable around new dogs and people. She may bark at large dogs or unfamiliar visitors at first, and she’ll sometimes bark through the fence at the neighbor’s dog or when a new dog comes into the home. She has been through a lot! Marble came from a home with many dogs and was very shy when she first arrived. Now that she's had some time to adjust, she seeks out attention and pets. She’s starting to truly enjoy exploring, playing, and relaxing in the quiet of the house. She is mostly potty-trained and generally very quiet unless other dogs start barking. Marble loves food and treats, which makes her easy to train. One of her funniest quirks is stealing toys from the other dogs just to get them to chase her — she’s fast and playful once her confidence shines through! Marble would do best in a calm home with a confident companion dog who can show her the ropes. She has lived peacefully with several dogs and has never had a cross word with any of them. While she may never be a lap dog, Marble will be a loyal, loving presence for someone patient enough to let her bloom at her own pace. Marble’s previous owner had to enter a nursing home, and the rescue took her in along with four of her canine friends from that home. With a little time, understanding, and stability, Marble will continue to grow into the wonderful, devoted dog she’s meant to be. Marble is  from Texas.  If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Cleopatra is a sweet, goofy, and affectionate girl who loves nothing more than jumping onto your lap for belly rubs and attention. She’s playful, eager to please, and has that charming mix of energy and gentle affection that makes her a joy to be around. Cleopatra came from a hoarding situation, and when she arrived she was extremely skinny, dehydrated, and had overgrown nails. Despite her rough start, she’s a resilient little lady who’s learning to enjoy the comforts of a loving home. She’s leash trained, rides well in the car, and does well with other dogs and in fact would do best with another dog in the household due to her background. She can be a bit unsure at first, but she warms up quickly. Cleopatra is also a bit of a trash-can explorer, which never fails to make her fosters laugh. Her teeth could use some attention, but her personality more than makes up for it! She’s adaptable, playful, and ready to bring joy (and a few giggles) to her forever family! Cleopatra is dealing with some separation anxiety, so a home without shared walls would be needed.  Cleopatra is from Texas.  If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
