SIDNEY *ARRIVING 3/9* - BORDER TERRIER / WIREHAIRED FOX TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Border Terrier / Wirehaired Fox Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 500. Meet Sidney, the adorable pooch with a unique love language! Sidney, or Sid for short, is a playful and affectionate pup who knows how to express himself. He occasional can be heard growling, which Sid's foster parent affectionately calls his "love language!" This is how he communicates during play and when being pet. He is a loving little guy. In Sid's ideal home, he'd love to have children to play with and a cozy spot on the furniture to call his own. Sid is particularly fond of playing tug-of-war and going on car rides, but he also appreciates quiet moments and loves snuggling up with his human companions. Since coming to his foster home, Sid has quickly adapted and thrived in a loving environment. Sidney is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 3/9/2024 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 5pm and 9pm. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. One big thing you should know is they are heartworm positive - but please don’t let that scare you away from adopting them! After they undergo treatment for their condition they will be completely healthy again, and heartworm is not a contagious disease. Because they need treatment, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) program. Click here to learn more about this program. They will get heartworm treatment at one of Ruff Start’s partner veterinary clinics in St. Cloud, so their foster will need to be comfortable getting them to and from the appointments. Treatment will consist of three injections: the first will be roughly 30 days after they enter rescue. Then, the second and third injections will happen 30 days after the first. When they are undergoing treatment, they should be on activity ‘restrictions’ which just means they should relax in their crate or cuddle with you.

An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
