Our #TeamLostSheltiesMn’s setup may be helpful if your Sheltie is older, ill, not fond of booties or paw wax, or has sensitive paws.🐾
A smaller fenced area w/in the fenced yard with washable/old rugs. I used straw with my girl when she had TCC; shoveled/replaced with each snowfall.❄️

Thank you for the healing love for Sadie! 💓 Surgery for the humerus fracture she sustained during the 2 weeks she was lost was successful but more complicated due to muscle contraction and bone callus. Sadie will stay overnight in ICU to ensure pain is well-managed, then 8 weeks of restriction. ❤️🩹

❤️🩹 Our foster Sadie will have a bone plate to stabilize the humerus fracture.
Sadie was lost in Mora, MN for 2 weeks. After many flyers, signs, sightings, a harrowing leap off a bridge, and kind people who set out food to keep her in the area, Sadie was safely caught.

Tail wag from Sadie! Just a quick outing outside - she much prefers to be warm inside. 🥰 We are working to schedule surgery asap for the fracture. She has pain meds in the meantime. ❤️🩹

It’s pawficial! While supporting Maisie through ruptured cranial cruciate ligament pre-op, surgery & recovery, her foster family fell in love with her. “We adore Maisie, as does her dog brother Gus & her 3 new cats! We're so lucky to have her join our family.” It was meant to be! 💞

MN meteorologist @serwewx.bsky.social strongly recommends avoiding road travel after 9pm tonight! ❄️ 💨
High snow totals in parts of ND, SD, MN, IA, WI, IL, MI, MO, OH followed by gusty winds.
And… blowing and drifting snow can create an escape ramp out of your yard:
