It’s hard to believe that it’s been over a year since I posted to our page. I have been dealing with a chronic and sometimes severe health condition since May 2021. Last year my health forced me to slow down. This meant I didn’t have the time for social media. Of course, doing the job of rescuing and fostering Keeshonds is something I could not and will not give up!
We are still fostering Katiya, now 10+ years & doing well. If you recall she came into rescue in August 2019 and was available for adoption for over 3 years. She has Inflammatory Bowel Disease and is currently managed with medication and a total Kangaroo diet. It is past the time when Katiya becomes a forever foster or term dog, due to no interest. Not to worry, Katiya will remain in foster care for the remainder of her days, well loved and adored by all she meets!
We are also still fostering Iggit, formerly known as Kaseem. He never really liked Kaseem, and answers readily to Iggit. He just saw his Cardiologist this month, May 2024. His Sub-Aortic Stenosis remains severe, and he will remain on Atenolol 1 ml liquid compounded medication for the rest of his life, however long or short that may be. While there has been some interest in Iggit, as soon as prospective adopters hear that he could just drop any day without warning, none have applied. Since his Echocardiograms have shown little changes in the last year, Iggit will now see his Cardiologist every 9 months instead of every 6 months. Iggit turned 2 years on 2/15/2024.
Unfortunately, the 2 Elkhounds that we had taken into foster care could not be saved and were humanely euthanized earlier this year. It was truly heartbreaking.
How about some good news?
Konnor was adopted by John & Ann Meyers of WI in 2023. He is continuing to come out of his shell with them and their 12-year-old Keeshond, Diamond! John & Ann have owned several Keeshonden over the years, and always in multiples. Welcome to the TKF family John, Ann and Diamond!
Kevin and Richard were both adopted by Ginnie Weckerly & Paul Vella of Rockford. Kevin was adopted in February, and Richard in March. They are doing very well and are quite the pair! Ginnie & Paul have owned 2 Keeshonden at the same time before. Kevin & Richard provide them with lots of challenges & opportunities! Welcome to the TKF family Ginnie & Paul!
I wish I could report that I will be posting more often to this page, I will try. My health is still not good, and I must continue to do only what I can handle. Please know that if you are interested in adopting a dog, do NOT send a message, do NOT email, please call me @ 630-980-7696.
If you need to surrender a Keeshond or Keeshond mix dog, please call me @ 630-980-7696. We’re still doing rescue, I’m just not able to write about it.
Now that you know that rescue still goes on, please know that we still need your help and support!
