Spartacus's Story

Français ci-dessous<br/><br/>Weighing in at 70 pounds and approximately 1.5 years old, Spartacus is a calm, easygoing dog. We are not sure of his breed, but he is a big boy, possibly mixed with Bernese Mountain Dog.<br/><br/>Spartacus is most content just hanging out with his people, whether that’s relaxing quietly at home or enjoying some time together outside. Although he enjoys his outdoor time and happily indulges in long leisurely walks, he isn’t high energy and is equally happy just lounging beside you on the couch. As an added bonus, he walks very nicely on leash.<br/><br/>He can be a bit timid when meeting new people, and is slightly more timid with men, so it’s best to approach him calmly and gently. With a little patience, he’ll quickly warm up, and if you’re lucky, he will even flop over for a belly rub. He gets along well with other dogs, and he also seems fine with cats. If you are looking for a chill companion for your resident dog, Spartacus is a great choice.<br/><br/>Spartacus is a Northern rescue, and prior to coming into our care, he lived in a foster home for about a month. He is crate trained and well behaved when left on his own. Spartacus actually loves his crate, as it is his safe place. Loud noises can make him nervous, so his crate is a comfortable space where he can also have some quiet time. We don’t know for sure, but because he is afraid of loud noises, thunderstorms or fireworks might be an issue for him, so it will be important to ensure that he is securely indoors and feels safe during these types of events.<br/><br/>Spartacus is a big, lovable pooch with a calm and gentle demeanour who will be a loyal companion, a committed walking buddy, and when the day is done, he will happily relax at your side on the couch for movie night and a snuggle.<br/>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.<br/><br/>**********************<br/>Avec ses 32 kg et ses quelque 18 mois, Spartacus est un chien calme et facile à vivre. Nous ne connaissons pas exactement sa race, mais c’est un grand chien qui pourrait avoir du bouvier bernois dans son mélange.<br/><br/>Spartacus est le plus heureux lorsqu’il peut simplement passer du temps avec sa famille, que ce soit à relaxer tranquillement à la maison ou à profiter d’un moment dehors en bonne compagnie. Même s’il aime les sorties et apprécie les longues promenades tranquilles, ce n’t pas un chien particulièrement énergique. Il est tout aussi heureux de se détendre à vos côtés sur le canapé. En prime, il marche très bien en laisse.<br/><br/>Il peut se montrer un peu timide lors des premières rencontres, particulièrement avec les hommes. Il est donc préférable de l’approcher calmement et en douceur. Avec un peu de patience, il prend rapidement confiance et, si vous avez de la chance, il ira même jusqu’à se retourner pour recevoir des caresses sur le ventre.<br/>Il s’entend bien avec les autres chiens et semble également bien cohabiter avec les chats. Si vous recherchez un compagnon calme pour votre chien, Spartacus pourrait être un excellent choix.<br/><br/>Spartacus est un chien provenant d’un refuge nordique. Avant d’arriver chez nous, il a vécu environ un mois dans une famille d’accueil. Il est habitué à la cage et se comporte bien lorsqu’il est laissé seul. En fait, Spartacus adore sa cage, puisqu’elle représente pour lui un endroit rassurant où il peut se détendre en toute tranquillité.<br/><br/>Les bruits forts peuvent le rendre nerveux. Comme il est sensible aux sons forts, il est possible que les orages ou les feux d’artifice soient plus difficiles pour lui. Lors de ce type d’événements, il sera donc important de s’assurer qu’il soit bien à l’intérieur et qu’il se sente en sécurité.<br/><br/>Spartacus est un grand chien attachant, au tempérament calme et doux. Il fera un compagnon fidèle, un agréable partenaire de promenade et, à la fin de la journée, il sera toujours heureux de venir se blottir à vos côtés sur le canapé pour relaxer et profiter d’un moment tranquille avec vous.<br/><br/>Pour toute demande concernant l’adoption, veuillez communiquer avec notre coordonnatrice des adoptions canines, 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. 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.

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.
