👋 Hello friends! Guess what time it is…..it’s time to introduce our next featured dog 🐶 for Diners, Drive-Thrus, & Dogs!
Please give some love to sweet sweet Michigan 🥰 Michigan is a 1.5 year old Shepherd Mix who is impressing her fosters each and ever day. She has some anxiety with meeting new friends, but the work she has put in has given her a major confidence boost. She is dog and cat friendly, and loves to be outside. If you can believe it, she’s been in rescue for over 368 days. Please help us share her story and help us find her forever home 🙏

To say that we are humbled by this community and its support is an understatement. You helped raise over $7,000 for the rescue from the Run 4 Luv 5k event. Words escape us a bit. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
Hen House Bar & Restaurant team…we hope you know where you stand in our books.
We look forward to the 2nd Annual Run 4 Luv event, and to continue making a difference together!
🤣 What's that saying.... "I spy with my little eye"....

So, turn up the volume, meet these melodic mutts, and let the good times roll!

Some of you may wonder what the green line means. A green tattoo on a dog or cat indicates that the animal has been spayed or neutered. This is to help prevent any unnecessary exploratory surgeries when an animal's spay or neuter status isn't known! How cool is that?!

This will be our final medical update for miss Munchkin because…she has been officially medically cleared after her MPL surgery and will be available for adoption very soon! 🥳 This special gal has stolen countless hearts during her time in rescue and it’s now time for her to find and steal the hearts of her forever family. Keep a close eye on our website to see when she’ll be available! Be sure to read through her full bio to see if she’s the right fit for you. Don’t fret if you find she’s not the right fit though because there are seriously SO MANY amazing dogs in rescue right now who would absolutely love to be your forever buddy. 🐾 Thank you all for your support of Miss Minchkin on her medical journey, she sure felt the love! ❤️
Meet Carly, our famous tiger princess 👑 You may recognize this beautiful girl, as she has been in rescue with us for the past 691 days. She is 4 years old & an American bulldog mix. Unfortunately, Carly came into rescue with some medical and behavior problems, but despite this, is such a beautiful girl with so much love to give her people. Carly’s urinary issues are managed with a daily pill & she has a team behind her that has done an incredible job helping her with behavior issues she has struggled with such as walking etiquette & dog reactivity. Currently Carly is living with her amazing foster family & here is a current update of things she loves and is working on. Carly loves to stoop watch, play with her toys, nap, and enjoy snacks, especially her weekly Starbucks trips. She is working on door manners, as she gets very excited to see her people & leash walking etiquette. Carly has a 15-foot training leash to help with walking and not pulling that seems to be helping. She has gone to behavior classes through the rescue and has learned so much. Carly isn’t in a kennel much, so she is practicing time in the kennel so she is a pro for her future family if needed. Carly would do best in a home with no other animals, but LOVES people and has great experience with kiddos. A family who is dedicated to her training & helping her be the best girl she can be would be best for Carly. This girl has been heartbroken & left behind wondering why she ended up in rescue. She is just a girl who wants her people all to herself 🙃💕 please consider Carly, a family will be so lucky to have her!! Apply to adopt Carly at https://www.4luvofdog.org/dog/?id=18324439 🐶🐾
Remember Munchkin? Munchkin is one of our amazing dogs in foster care and she had surgery on her luxating patella back on April 30th. We’re here to update you on her progress! The surgery was a lengthy one: a groove was created where her knee cap can rest and her tibia was also rotated and pinned in place to allow for better movement. She was quite swollen and painful for the first week and really didn’t want to use that leg (we don’t blame her!). After daily stretches and icing though she started to come around and is using her leg fairly well! She recently had her post surgery recheck exam and her wonderful veterinarian was proud of how she was using her leg but a little cautious with how her leg felt on exam. Munchkin goes back in a few weeks for sedated X-rays where we will get a better idea of how much recovery she has left. Thank you to all who cheered her on and donated towards her care. She felt the love! A surgery like this with continued rechecks and pain management isn’t cheap but we care deeply about our dogs and strive to do what’s best for them. Your valued donations go towards giving amazing dogs like Munchkin here the best care possible while they wait for their forever homes. Please consider making a donation towards her continued care and check back to see how Munchkin is doing after her next recheck exam! ❤️Donate here: https://www.4luvofdog.org/make-a-monetary-donation/ ❤️Consider fostering dogs like Munchkin, we need your help! https://www.4luvofdog.org/foster-application/ #4luvofdogrescue #medicaldogs #foster
Meet Munchkin Sweet little Munchkin here was picked up as a stray earlier this year and brought to a local pound. Sadly, no owners claimed her so when her time was up at the pound 4 Luv of Dog Rescue happily pulled her giving her a second chance at life. It was quickly discovered after she was accepted into rescue though that something wasn’t quite right with her back left leg. After seeing a vet Munchkin was diagnosed with a condition called medial patella luxation which means her kneecap dislocates with movement. This can be very very painful for dogs. While in rescue Munchkin has been showing her happy goofy self but underneath her happiness, she’s been masking the pain that her back left leg has been causing her. She has a hard time sitting and will try and adjust her leg in a way so it doesn’t bend because she knows if it bends it will cause her pain. She also will gallop or lift her leg or walk with an awkward gait because bending her leg causes her pain. We don’t know how long Munchkin has been suffering but given some muscle wasting of that leg and how she’s tried to develop ways of getting around best she can with as little pain as possible, it likely has been like this for a long time. But we have great news! Today is the day Munchkin’s life will change because she goes in to have her luxating patella corrected. It will be a long road to recovery afterwards, but we look forward to seeing her run and play pain free. Please help us wish Munchkin luck during her surgery and in her recovery! If you would like to help us cover the cost of this expensive surgery, please consider making a tax-deductible monetary donation! Thank you to all of you for your support of 4 Luv of Dog Rescue, we couldn’t help dogs like Munchkin without you! ❤️Donate here: https://www.4luvofdog.org/make-a-monetary-donation/ ❤️Consider fostering dogs like Munchkin, we need your help! https://www.4luvofdog.org/foster-application/

It's always a great day when we get to share great news! Lotus's jaw is fully healed! No more cone and muzzle for this cutie! In case you missed her story: Lotus was attacked by a bigger dog as a puppy. She suffered a fractured jaw and multiple puncture wounds which required her to be muzzled for almost two months in order to heal properly. This was a really tough situation for Lotus. As a puppy, she wanted to play and explore, but she was limited. Now that she's healed, she can finally do all the things she wants! Thank you to everyone who donated for Lotus's medical bills! All of us are so grateful! If you haven't donated yet but want to, donating to our Giving Hearts Day campaign is the best way to make those funds count! Matching donations are provided by our sponsors. You can donate any time between now and February 8th at https://app.givingheartsday.org/#/charity/405 #4LuvOfDogRescue #GivingHeartsDay #GivingHeartsDay2024 #Donate #Fargo #Moorhead #Dog #Dogs
