Patrice's Story

Meet Patrice! Patrice is a wonderful, 2-year-old Labrador mix who’s sure to win you over the moment you meet her. She may be on the smaller side, but at 50 lbs she’s a solid little package of sweetness and charm. A Northern rescue from Manitoba, Patrice came into care pregnant and had 11 puppies—all of whom have found loving homes. Now it’s Patrice’s turn to find her own forever family. Easygoing and adaptable, Patrice gets along well with other dogs and adjusts nicely to their play style—whether it’s a fun game of tug-of-war or simply relaxing side by side. She’s generally a calm dog who enjoys attention, occasionally jumping up for pets but always in her own gentle way. Patrice has lived in her foster home with teenagers, and we think she’d do well with even younger, respectful kids. She is house-trained, well-behaved when left alone, and not destructive. Patrice loves being near her people and is happiest when she’s part of the action. Food is one of her greatest joys—her big, expressive eyes tend to grow even bigger when snacks are involved, so expect to share the occasional French fry (or two). Patrice still has a little maturing to do and would benefit from an adopter who can offer her some structure and help reinforce boundaries. She already knows several commands, including sit, shake paw, and wait for her food. Smart and very food-motivated, she’ll be a pleasure to train. She’s not suited to a home with cats, and she’s still getting used to car rides—she travels best on the back seat with a seatbelt to keep her steady. Everyone who meets Patrice is taken by her gentle, affectionate, and sweet nature. She’ll brighten your days with her charming, lovable personality. Patrice is more than ready to meet her forever family and start her next adventure. To inquire about Patrice, please give our dog adoption coordinator, Brenda, a call at 819-876-7747 any day of the week between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ****************** Voici Patrice ! Patrice est une merveilleuse Labrador de 2 ans qui ne manquera pas de vous séduire dès votre première rencontre. Elle est plutôt petite, mais avec ses 23 kg (50 lbs), elle est une véritable petite boule de douceur et de charme. Patrice est une rescapée du Nord, originaire du Manitoba. Elle est arrivée chez nous enceinte et a eu 11 chiots—tous ont trouvé des foyers aimants. Maintenant, c’est au tour de Patrice de trouver sa famille pour la vie. Facile à vivre et adaptable, Patrice s’entend bien avec les autres chiens et sait s’adapter à leur style de jeu, que ce soit pour une partie de tir à la corde ou simplement pour se détendre côte à côte. C’est une chienne généralement calme qui apprécie les caresses, sautant parfois doucement pour attirer l’attention, mais toujours avec délicatesse. Patrice a vécu dans sa famille d’accueil avec des adolescents, et nous pensons qu’elle s’entendrait aussi avec des enfants plus jeunes et respectueux. Elle est propre, bien élevée lorsqu’elle est seule et n’est pas destructive. Patrice aime être proche des humains et est plus heureuse lorsqu’elle fait partie de l’action. La nourriture est l’un de ses grands plaisirs—ses grands yeux expressifs s’agrandissent encore plus lorsqu’il y a des friandises, alors attendez-vous à partager une petite frite ou deux. Patrice a encore un peu de maturité à acquérir et bénéficierait d’un adoptant capable de lui offrir un peu de structure et de l’aider à renforcer ses limites. Elle connaît déjà plusieurs commandes, dont assis, donne la patte et attends avant de manger. Intelligente et très motivée par la nourriture, elle sera un vrai plaisir à entraîner. Elle n’est pas adaptée à un foyer avec des chats et doit encore s’habituer aux trajets en voiture—elle se déplace mieux sur la banquette arrière avec une ceinture de sécurité pour chien. Tous ceux qui rencontrent Patrice sont séduits par sa nature douce, affectueuse et tendre. Elle illuminera vos journées grâce à sa personnalité charmante et attachante. Patrice est prête à rencontrer sa famille pour la vie et à commencer sa prochaine aventure. Pour toute information sur Patrice, veuillez communiquer avec notre coordonnatrice à l’adoption des chiens, Brenda, au 819-876-7747, tous les jours entre 8 h et 20 h.

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.

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.
