WYNN DIXIE's Story

<p>Wynn&nbsp; Dixie is probably a relative of the real dog in that movie they look alike!&nbsp; He is a&nbsp; 1&nbsp; 1/2 years old and is medium in size weighing 34.1 lbs and is good with kids other dogs and s neutered,has all shots including a 1 year&nbsp; rabies shot and permanent parvo distemper shots and kennel cough shot, has been wormed although worming should be done monthly using heart guard plus which is obtained from a vet, if your choice of vets will not do this service without a test for heart worm and ehrlicia, you should find another vet as this dog was tested Aug 30 13 and they should honor our test, I think Eastwood and Dr Dashley do that clinic is on Montana and Edgemere.&nbsp; This takes care of the internal worms on a dog and the outside should use Pet Armor from Walmart which is a very good quality against ticks and fleas.&nbsp; If you are responsible you will put out the money for these to assure you or your children or guests does not get certain worms from the dog which they can pick up on a walk in the park, at the vet's office on the parking lot or other places.&nbsp; It is just the right thing to do.&nbsp; Dog is microchiped, you will need to take just paper work to local pound and register the dog and they will give you a tag.&nbsp; Do not take the dog.&nbsp; Dog is breed that needs to be walked and probably will like to chase balls and like soft toys and kings.&nbsp; We understand he was pretty well house broken as told to us by the donor who ranked him between 8=9 on a scale of 1-10 with 10 the highest.&nbsp; We always suggest on a dog like this you feed him once a day he is old enough to adjust to this and feed him Pedigree Small bites and moist canned food.&nbsp; Dog should not lose weight so we suggest you weigh the dog at first about every month or so and if he loses it indicates he isn't getting enough to eat or something else is eating it or he could be sick which is unlikely because we do the tests etc that would cause this and you will be keeping up with worming.&nbsp; Dog will need a fence that is at least 5 ft and should be watched even then to be sure he does not jump.&nbsp; With chain link dogs rarely raise up to see over as they can see out and owner said this dog stayed in a rock 5ft wall but here we have chain link.&nbsp; We also suggest you can get a crate to put dog in while you grocery shop it should be as large as you can afford, where he can stand and turn around and can be humanely utilized for time periods of 3 hours and over night.&nbsp; Always let dog outside and good idea to walk with him saying 'go potty' until he learns your schedule.&nbsp; Cost of adoption is $100.00 cash or card.&nbsp; carries a 90 day exchange agreement and health guarantee through the kennel.&nbsp; A really good pal, a good walking buddy. &nbsp; Notice From here on the text is a default meaning it is identical for all dogs.&nbsp; This saves us time in typing. At our agency all dogs go out spayed or neutered, tested for heart&nbsp; worm or ehrlicia if a dog falls into the appropriate age group, has been given kennel cough shot, is wormed for most common worms,has received a rabies shot if old enough which is 4 months which is good for a year, has been given 1 parvo, distemper shot if over a year old or 3 if under a year old. Dogs getting the 1 shot over a year or 3 under a year are considered by us to be immune to parvo and distemper for life.&nbsp; Parvo and distemper are basically diseases of puppies and it is known to pump dogs with endless yearly vaccinations exposes them to cancer as stated in national publications. They have been given&nbsp; examination by a DVM who looks at teeth, hair, eyes, body and ears. When a person adopts from us they are getting over $200 in veterinary services for the price of the dog which ranges from $100 to $125.&nbsp; If a person considers what would ordinarily go into the medical welfare of the dog, the figure of $125.00 is very reasonable for an adoption where all these services are already done. &nbsp; Many local vets charge around $100 for a spay or neuter, alone plus other services we routinely furnish including the microchip, kennel cough shot, worming, tick and flea treatment etc. &nbsp; When adopting here, people who find their pet take it with them at that time and receive a leash, collar and ID tag and all pets are microchiped although chip needs to be registered locally and nationally if you want. Locally it is $10 currently which is good for one year. Dog has been healthy here and has not been on any medications. (unless stated) We urge people to get an RX for heart worm prevention from their own vet and since we will have tested the dog within the past 3 months this is current enough a veterinarian should not want to do the test again if they insist on this find another vet or try and find a vet to prescribe heart guard plus for a young dog and not to test it again until it is a year or so old.&nbsp; .&nbsp; &nbsp; As far as ticks and fleas, use Armor Dog available at Walmart and Walgreens and other stores and is identical to what vets sell. The idea is not to cut the vet out but to help people who do not&nbsp; have funds to take better care of their pet. &nbsp; Heart worm is caused by the bite of an infected mosquito and the worm is thrust through the skin and into the body slowly making way to pulmonary area entering the heart where it grows into an adult worm 7 inches long resembling limp spaghetti. It then reproduces to form small worms which are picked up by uninfected mosquitoes and the cycle repeats. Normally dogs which are under a year old are too young to have symptoms of heart worm due to a time cycle. We test all dogs over a year old unless they come to us already on heart worm prevention. It is so simple to protect your dog and we encourage you to use Heart Guard Plus, be sure your product carries the word plus to take care of both heart worms and intestinal worms. Intestinal worms are picked up by dogs through contamination or through pads on feet and carried to the intestines. There is nothing so cunning as a parasite. With puppies we find almost all puppies are born with worms because the worm has been transmitted to the mother dog one way or another and hides out as a cyst. When the mother is ready to deliver the cyst senses there is action in the milk bar and move there ready to transmit to the puppies as they nurse. Because worms are everywhere and we live so close to our pets, sharing cars, beds, houses with them, we want our family safe and they will be kept safe if they worm their pets monthly with Heart Guard Plus or another good product. Dogs can pick up worms walking through a bark park, in a veterinary waiting room and a trip to the back yard through transiting animals such as birds, cats, racoons, foxes, bats etc. Bats (and other wild animals) can cause rabies so your pet must be kept vaccinated. With Ehrlicia it is caused by a tick. Here, in El Paso,&nbsp; there is no Lymes diseases or Rocky Mt Spotted Fever, these ticks just carry ehrlicia and&nbsp; humans do not get these diseases. . Both heart worm infestation and ehrlicia manifest by a dog being listless, with heart worm an occasional cough, a poor coat condition and pale gums as blood is taken from them on both accounts. Once a dog has heart worm it is expensive to treat but to discard the pet is heartless without trying to save its life due to human&nbsp; negligence. With Ehrlicia and heart worm the pet usually loses weight, does not thrive or play and is listless. Ehrlicia can be treated but after treatment which rids the worms will likely&nbsp; test positive for a few months so&nbsp; a test is pretty&nbsp; useless but the dog can live a long and happy life after suitable treatment&nbsp; and we have adopted them in the past with full disclosure of their former sickness&nbsp; and all are still alive and healthy. . With our agency we rank dogs on house breaking on scale of 1-10 with 10 the highest but lesser ratings do not make a dog a poor learner or bad pet it means you will need to step up and work with the dog and use some tips to train the dog. We suggest buying a fold down crate from Petsbarn or Petsmart&nbsp; and it is humane to cage dog for periods of 3 hours at a time and over night. When out of cage on bare floor watch dog for signs of losing interest in a toy, suddenly circling, sniffing floor or base board and take outside right then .Never yell at dog for mistakes of Mother Nature and always praise for good jobs well done. To a dog bathroom habits are natural and his mom praised him. Dogs taken away from mom too soon have a harder time learning to be house trained in a human house. Never say your dog's name in anger if you do then don't wonder why it does not eagerly come when called. You should cage your dog with an interesting toy like a Kong. The cage should be a safe place never used for punishment. If you come across a mess clean it up and forget about it and start over the dog will not recall what he or she did an hour ago. If you have a male dog you are crating put a skirt around the sides of the crate. Most dogs can be house broken within 3 weeks. When you accompany your dog to the back yard on a poop session, note anything mysterious in the stool such as blood, moving worms, raw hide etc. Blood in stool is not acceptable but can be from so many different sources but if&nbsp; a dog eating and playing it most likely has a parasite easily cured. Other possible reasons are&nbsp; IBS with mucus or something else, in elderly dogs it can be a tumor and a puppy it can be parvo. If dogs play and participate it probably isn't fatal and you can wait a day or two if necessary&nbsp; to call the vet or to take in.Dogs with blood in the stool are not to be taken lightly and absolutely should see the vet. &nbsp; Pet food with red dye often appears to be blood. It is scarey. Spayed dogs should not have a show of blood ever. When you adopt a pet from us we hope it is forever but we promise to make every effort to take it back if it doesn't work out or you have to move. Be sure to keep your paper work and call us. If you have a family member willing to take your dog notify us so we change the microchip owner and this number will follow you as long as pet lives and after. If you are having problems training your pet remember a pet is as smart as the owner and no dogs are born trained. We suggest you buy DVDs by Cesar Milan&nbsp; Dogs under a year should eat 3x a day with a dollop of moist on top of food for flavor, dogs over a year, Pedigree small&nbsp; Dog Chow. To alternate a food or change it is to have diarrhea for sure. When you adopt from us the dog has an ID tag and collar and Microchip tag (probably) and these should be left on the dog for identification. Think about your qualifications for a dog which should live out its life with you. Is it too big so it might be dangerous to your kids without meaning to be? Will you then give it up to be put down or hope for a person to take it off your hands? Too small the dog cannot escape the loving fingers of a baby or young child meaning no harm but able to cause plenty of damage to where the dog would bite out of being desperate. Is the breed too hairy? Does it want to play with the cat or eat it? Talk to your representative here.
