Toy Fox Terrier puppies and dogs in Saint Paul, 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.

CLEO | 8 years old | 10-pounds*Alright, STOP. Collaborate and listen…She cute but she is expensive.Cleo will need prescription food and medication for the remainder of her life. Still interested? Read on!—--Straight from her foster’s mouth to your ears.. erhmm.. eyes.. learn more about Cleo directly from the source! They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend.. And you better have a lot of them. To sell. To pay for her vet care.Haha! Just kidding! *looks around* Kind of..Cleo has a condition called protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) caused by irritable bowel disease. She loses proteins from her bloodstream into her GI tract faster than her body can replenish them and her medical management helps regulate this condition.Cleo’s daily life is unaffected by this and she does your everyday dog things. The only addition is giving her medication (pills) with her morning and evening meals which she takes without problem.Still interested? Then you’re ready to hear our secret..—--Cleo is a GEM. A truly one-of-a-kind companion. So without further ado, here’s what you need to know about Cleo!Extremely smart. Eats her own poop. In a glass-half-full kind of world, you could consider her a self-poop picker-upper. (But really, you are going to have to go out in those subzero temps and pick up her poop before she does.)She is well potty trained but her medications/condition cause some accidents if she is unable to be let out after a certain amount of time. She understands cues quickly and even knows sit, shake, high five, and can catch her food mid-air!Farts can clear a room. They just get stronger. Rootin’ Tootin’ Cleo should be in the Guinness Book of Records or something.Teeters on being the fun police. Still fun.Cleo coexists with dogs big and small but can sometimes be a playtime hall monitor. That said, if she finds the right dog with the right playstyle, she has a good time playing chase and wrestling!Loves tug o’ war. Hates fetch. If you throw her toy, she’s going to look at you like what are you even doing.On a scale of one to barky, she’s about a five. While Cleo doesn’t bark all day long, she is going to warn you about car doors slamming, people talking, the general goings on of the world. And her bark be loud so shared walls may not be the best fit for her. She stops with some guidance pretty quickly.. usually.. sometimes..Loves food. Hates sharing. Cleo’s favorite times of the day are, hands down, breakfast and dinner. And she’s got that only child syndrome (I can say that, I’m an only child) where everything is hers. Her food. Her toys. Your food. All hers. And she will tell anyone who needs to know.Supposedly a Chihuahua/Pug mix. Definitely just as needy. Pug parents, am I right? Cleo will climb on your lap, push her way to your hands, and really doesn’t care if she’s stepping on another dog to get to the top. We mean that figuratively. Well.. except for those times when she’s literally walking over a dog to get to you.Likes to give kisses. Licks everything. Literally everything.. the couch, the floor, the carpet, the coffee table, your clothes, and your face.Cleo is great with kids of all ages but it’s probably best that she live in a home with teens or no kids on account of how much she loves food. Because she has PLE, Cleo needs to be on a restricted diet and can’t be catching scraps or snagging food from those little hands. Because she would. She totally would.This girl’s personality is a great balance of play and chill, and she walks so well on a leash.. when it’s actually warm out.. A lap dog through and through, Cleo wants to be snuggled in with you, often under a blanket (Chihuahua parents, you get it). She's content to snooze on the couch or a dog bed when you're gone and she can fit into any social situation.Cleo is one of the best dogs out there and whoever has the privilege of adopting her is going to know love (and toots) beyond measure!—--*Opening Line Credit: Vanilla Ice - “Ice Ice Baby”Cleo came to Pet Haven Rescue with a severe case of PLE. Her levels are back to normal with the help of food and medication management.More on protein-losing enteropathy (PLE): https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/proteinlosing-enteropathy-ple-in-dogs—--If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling: https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $250.

Stewie and Harry are a bonded senior duo looking for their forever home together. At 13 years old, these Rat Terrier/Shih Tzu mixes still have plenty of energy and love for their humans! Stewie, around 15 pounds, is the more people-focused of the two, sometimes smiling, begging for attention, or even jumping up when he’s overly excited to see his favorite human. Harry, about 23 pounds, is more independent but just as loving in his own way, often expressing himself with little grunts and snores.Both boys are house-trained and will let you know when it’s time to go out, whether by heading to the door or sitting up on their back legs as if to beg. They do not like being crated, but that's okay because they can be trusted free roaming. Due to some separation anxiety, they are much happier when someone is home with them and will need a home without shared walls (no apartments/townhomes).They adore their daily walks and have made great progress on leash — now happily going out 4–6 times a day for short strolls of 10–20 minutes. Walks are their favorite activity, keeping them young at heart and giving Harry the chance to show off his love for squirrels, ducks, and rabbits. Inside, however, they are mostly couch potatoes, with Stewie often curling up close to his person and Harry preferring his own spot to snooze.Stewie and Harry are good with other dogs and have done well around cats. They enjoy kids but, being seniors, would do best with older children who can respect their space.Though they may be opposites in many ways, they couldn't love each other more. If you’re looking for two sweet, silly, and loyal companions to share your life and daily walks with, Harry and Stewie are ready for you!If you are interested in these dogs, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450.

Snapshot of Stanley: Size? Small, ~8 lbs right now! Activity Level? I play hard and snuggle harder! Noise Level? I bark to let you know when something is happening or when I want your attention. Good with Dogs? I love other dogs! Good with Cats? I don’t care about cats, they’re boring. Good with Kids? Yes! Good with Strangers? Yes! Potty Trained? Working on it! Crate Trained? I’m getting there! I cry a little in my crate but settle down well. Shedding? Minimal. About Stanley: Hi, my name is Stanley! I’m a tiny but mighty chihuahua mix (we think) that was transferred to TCPR from a shelter in Texas. I may be small, but don’t let that fool you – I have tons of puppy energy and a larger-than-life personality. I love to be carried and follow the humans around the house if they insist I keep all four paws on the ground. I spend my time rough-housing with my foster siblings, chasing squeaky toys, and snuggling in your arms or in the dog pile when all that playing tires me out. I love to be around other dogs! I have cats in my foster home, and I ignore them. Kids are great (they match my energy) and I love meeting new human friends. I’m working on my potty and crate training and I’m getting better every day! My new family will have to continue to work on these skills with me. I’ve been introduced to leash walking, which is super confusing by the way, but I know I’ll get the hang of it! I also love all kinds of toys and playing chase with both people and other dogs. My ideal home would be with a family who is ready to take on all things puppy! I have a very sweet personality, but my family will have to be committed to helping me learn my manners as I grow older. I would also love an older canine sibling to play with and show me the ropes. A fenced in yard would also be great! I promise to be your very own pint-sized sidekick if you’ll let me! I can’t wait to meet you! Stanley is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations for his age.
