Jewel's Story

Français ci-dessous Jewel is searching for a loving and responsible forever home where she can contentedly live as the only pet. Seven-year-old Jewel hasn't had it easy. Before coming into our care, she spent four long years at a shelter in rural Texas. In the time she has been with us, Jewel has won the hearts of our volunteers. With those she has come to know and trust she is engaged, happy and affectionate. However, as much as we have come to adore her, we recognize that Jewel will need an experienced, dog-savvy and confident adopter who can offer her a stable and calm environment. She will not do well in a home with too much activity. Jewel’s adopter must set clear boundaries and understand that she isn't always comfortable meeting new people, so introductions must be handled with care and on her terms. Jewel is reactive to other dogs, so a securely fenced yard where she can safely run and play is a definite asset. She will do best living in a rural setting where she won't encounter multiple dogs on her walks. Once Jewel bonds with people, she is loyal and affectionate. She loves to play with her ball and adores the water. In the right home, with an adopter who understands her needs and limitations, she has so much potential to be a devoted and engaged companion. Jewel deserves a chance to live out her remaining years happy and loved, and we haven’t given up hope that the right person is out there, ready to give her the forever home she needs to thrive. Jewel has waited a very long time for her happily ever after. If you can give her the love, guidance, support, structure, and training she needs, we'd love to hear from you. For more information, please give us a call at 819.876.7785 or send an email to frontieranimalsociety@gmail.com.It's time for Jewel to find her perfect home. Because of her appearance, breed-specific legislation (BSL) will apply so before inquiring, please ensure that Jewel is welcome in your town, city or municipality. ********************** Jewel est à la recherche d’un foyer responsable et aimant, où elle pourra couler une vie douce à titre de seul animal de la maison. Âgée de sept ans, Jewel n’a pas eu une vie facile. Avant de nous être confiée, elle a passé quatre longues années dans un refuge d’une région rurale, au Texas. Depuis qu’elle est avec nous, Jewel a gagné le cœur de nombreux bénévoles. Avec les personnes qu’elle connaît et en qui elle a confiance, elle est engageante, heureuse et affectueuse. Cela dit, même si nous l’adorons, nous reconnaissons que Jewel aura besoin d’un adoptant expérimenté, confiant et compétent qui pourra lui offrir un environnement stable et calme. Elle ne sera pas à l’aise dans un foyer trop animé. L’adoptant de Jewel saura définir des limites claires et comprendra qu’elle n’est pas toujours à l’aise lorsqu’elle rencontre de nouvelles personnes. Ainsi, les présentations devront être faites avec soin, en respectant ses conditions. En outre, Jewel réagit aux autres chiens. Une cour clôturée sécuritaire où elle peut courir et jouer sans danger sera certainement un atout. Il serait également préférable qu’elle vive en milieu rural, où elle ne rencontrera pas beaucoup d’autres chiens pendant ses promenades. Lorsque Jewel réussit à former un lien de confiance, elle se montre loyale et affectueuse. Elle adore jouer à la balle et jouer dans l’eau. Dans un foyer adéquat, auprès d’un adoptant qui comprendra ses besoins et ses limites, elle arrivera à devenir une compagne dévouée et engagée. Jewel mérite une chance de passer les dernières années de sa vie en paix, dans l’amour et la joie. Nous demeurons convaincus que nous trouverons son âme sœur, qui lui offrira le foyer dont elle a besoin pour s’épanouir. Jewel attend depuis très, très longtemps d’entamer un nouveau chapitre plus heureux. Si vous pouvez offrir à Jewel l’amour, la discipline, le soutien et l’entraînement dont elle a besoin, communiquez avec nous! Pour plus d’information, veuillez nous appeler au 819.876.7785 ou envoyez un courriel à frontieranimalsociety@gmail.com En raison de son apparence, la loi visant des races particulières s’appliquera. Par conséquent, avant de manifester votre intérêt pour Jewel, veuillez vous renseigner pour savoir si elle sera la bienvenue dans votre ville ou municipalité.

Frontier Animal Society's Adoption Policy

CATS When placing a cat into an adoptive home, our primary goal is to ensure that the adopter is the right match for that particular cat. It is very traumatic for both the cat and the adopting family if the cat has to return to the shelter. We also want to be sure that the adopter is ready for this responsibility and commitment. We feel it is already very positive that you are choosing to adopt rather than buy a cat from a pet store (which is more often than not from a kitten mill). Our Procedure for Adopting a Cat The adoption/inquiry process starts by either sending us an email or by contacting our adoption coordinator directly by phone. During the initial contact we can answer your questions, and we will have some of our own as well, such as what type of home you can provide and what kind of cat you are looking for--energy level, types of activities you do, length of time the cat would be alone during a typical day, other animals in the house, children and age of children, male/female preference, and any other of your important criteria for choosing a specific cat. Some of our potential adopters are interested in meeting a particular cat while others prefer to come to the shelter to meet a few of our adoptable cats and choose among them. Either way, prior to your visit, you may want to have a conversation with our adoption coordinator and then make an appointment to visit the cat(s). We also offer an Open House every Saturday and Sunday morning from 10 to 12 when people can drop by the shelter and meet some of our cats. We like to talk to each potential adopter because we know our cats, and through conversation we can get a feel as to whether or not the cat you are interested in will be a match. If you aren't sure what type of cat is best suited to your lifestyle, we can often help narrow it down. Our preference is that all family members attend the adoption visit and if younger children live in the home, they should be present as well. DOGS When placing a dog into an adoptive home, our primary goal is to ensure that the adopter is the right match for that particular dog. It is very traumatic for both the dog and the adopting family if the dog has to return to the shelter. We also want to be sure that the adopter is ready for this responsibility and commitment. Depending on the dog's age at the time of adoption, dogs are a 10-15 year commitment. We feel it is already very positive that you are choosing to adopt rather than buy a dog from a pet store (which is more often than not from puppy mills) or from a breeder ! Our Procedure for Adopting a Dog The adoption/inquiry process starts by either sending us an email or by contacting our adoption coordinator directly by phone. During the initial contact we can answer your questions, and we will have some of our own as well, such as what type of home you can provide and what kind of dog you are looking for--energy level, types of activities you do, length of time dog would be alone during a typical day, other animals in the house, children and age of children, male/female preference, and any other of your important criteria for choosing a specific dog. Some of our potential adopters are interested in meeting a particular dog while others prefer to come to the shelter to meet a few of our adoptable dogs. Either way, prior to your visit, you'll want to first have a conversation with our adoption coordinator and then make an appointment to visit the dog(s). We like to talk to each potential adopter because we know our dogs, and through conversation we can get a feel as to whether or not the dog you are interested in will be a match. If you aren't sure yourself about which dog is best suited to your lifestyle, we can often help narrow it down. Following the phone conversation(s), we will arrange a visit to our shelter so you can meet the dog(s). You will have an opportunity to take the dog(s) for a walk and interact with them in our fenced-in dog park. If you already have a dog, we will ask that you bring him or her with you. Our preference is that all family members should attend the adoption visit and if younger children live in the home, they should be present as well. First Visit Adoptions We try to discourage first visit adoptions, because adoptions should not be an impulsive or emotional decision. It must be a well thought out, rational decision. You also need to prepare your home for the new pet. If a first visit adoption is anticipated (for example adopters living a distance away from the shelter), then reference checks must be made beforehand. Home checks are scheduled on a case by case basis.
