Snow's Story

Français ci-dessous Snow – A Gorgeous, Playful Husky Mix Ready for His Forever Home Snow, who is approximately a year old, is a stunning Husky mix with striking blue eyes and a happy, playful spirit. A stray found locally but never claimed, this handsome boy is now ready to find a loving, responsible forever home. Snow is a really great dog who just needs to learn how to channel his adolescent exuberance. Our guess is that he ended up in a home with someone unprepared for the responsibility and did not have the knowledge of raising a young puppy. Every puppy needs structure and deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and become a well-behaved, well-rounded adult dog. Snow is more than ready to embrace life with an adopter who can provide him with the training and stability he needs to thrive—someone with experience and the willingness to dedicate the time and effort to teach him. He’s very food and treat-motivated, which makes him an eager and engaged student. He’ll do best with an active adopter who can provide the exercise and mental stimulation he needs to stay happy and balanced. Snow loves playing with other dogs and shows no signs of dominance. We believe he'd do well in a home with another dog and where they would have an outdoor yard to play together safely. He is very curious about cats, and we think that he would probably want to play with them by chasing them… not something the cat would enjoy! Snow gets excited when greeting people and before embarking on his daily walks. He barks and jumps, but our consistency at asking him to be calm is paying off. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body; he simply needs to learn his manners. He adapted very quickly to walking with a Halti, and his walks are now easy and controlled. If you can give this gorgeous, goofy boy the training and consistency he needs, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal, loving, and endlessly fun companion. It’s time for Snow to settle into a responsible forever home where he can truly reach his full potential. To inquire about adoption, 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. ******************* Snow – Un magnifique Husky joueur prêt à trouver sa maison pour la vie ! Snow, qui a environ un an, est un superbe Husky avec de magnifiques yeux bleus et un tempérament joyeux et joueur. Trouvé errant localement mais jamais réclamé, ce beau chien est maintenant prêt à trouver un foyer aimant et responsable pour la vie. Snow est un chien vraiment génial qui a juste besoin d’apprendre à canaliser son énergie d’adolescent. Nous pensons qu’il s’est retrouvé dans un foyer avec quelqu’un qui n’était pas préparé à la responsabilité et qui n’avait pas les connaissances nécessaires pour élever un jeune chiot. Chaque chiot a besoin de structure et mérite l’opportunité d’apprendre, de grandir et de devenir un chien adulte bien élevé et équilibré. Snow est plus que prêt à vivre pleinement avec un adoptant capable de lui fournir l’éducation et la stabilité dont il a besoin pour s’épanouir — quelqu’un avec de l’expérience et prêt à consacrer le temps et les efforts nécessaires pour lui apprendre. Il est très motivé par la nourriture et les friandises, ce qui fait de lui un élève attentif et enthousiaste. Il sera le plus heureux avec un adoptant actif qui pourra lui fournir l’exercice et la stimulation mentale dont il a besoin pour rester heureux et équilibré. Snow adore jouer avec les autres chiens et ne montre aucun signe de dominance. Nous pensons qu’il s’épanouirait dans un foyer avec un autre chien et un jardin extérieur où ils pourraient jouer en toute sécurité ensemble. Il est très curieux envers les chats, et nous pensons qu’il voudrait probablement jouer avec eux en les chassant… ce qui ne plairait pas au chat ! Snow s’excite lorsqu’il rencontre des gens et avant ses promenades quotidiennes. Il aboie et saute, mais notre constance à lui demander de rester calme porte ses fruits. Il n’a aucun mauvais instinct ; il a simplement besoin d’apprendre les bonnes manières. Il s’est très vite adapté à la marche avec un Halti, et ses promenades sont désormais faciles et contrôlées. Si vous pouvez offrir à ce magnifique chien espiègle l’éducation et la constance dont il a besoin, vous serez récompensé par un compagnon loyal, affectueux et infiniment amusant. Il est temps que Snow trouve un foyer responsable où il pourra réellement atteindre tout son potentiel. Pour toute demande d’adoption, veuillez contacter notre coordinatrice des adoptions de chiens, Brenda, au 819.876.7747, tous les jours de la semaine 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.
