Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. Most of the time if a dog is coughing up a white foamy material, an upper respiratory tract infection is to blame. This is similar to a human cold and be acquired anywhere. There are a variety of viral and bacterial causes. Heartworm disease can cause a dog to cough in advanced cases. This is usually a non-productive cough though. I hope this information helps!
