Stitch's Story

Français ci-dessous<br/><br/>Two-year-old Stitch needs a very calm and experienced adoptive or foster home where he can settle in and begin to feel secure. He is timid and fearful with new people, situations, and environments and needs time and patience to adjust and learn to trust.<br/><br/>Before coming into our care, Stitch lived at a shelter in a rural setting, where he had very little exposure to traffic or the noise and activity of a busier environment. The many unfamiliar sights, sounds, and people he has encountered since then have been difficult for him. What he needs now is stability, consistency, and familiarity — a quiet home, a predictable routine, and the same people around him each day.<br/><br/>Stitch needs an experienced and patient adopter who understands fearful dogs and is willing to let him adjust and build a relationship at his own pace. A busy household with children would not be a good fit.<br/><br/>Stitch gets along with other dogs but benefits from slow introductions. A friendly, calm, easygoing dog could be a good companion for him.<br/><br/>A securely fenced backyard is a must, giving Stitch a safe place to be outdoors while he adjusts to his new home and surroundings. His adopters will need to be committed to keeping him safe and secure at all times.<br/><br/>Stitch is a good dog who is struggling with a world that is still very unfamiliar to him. With patience, stability, and kindness, he can build confidence and form a strong bond with his new family.<br/><br/>If you think you can be the one to give this sweet but scared boy the safe and loving home he deserves, we’d love to hear from you.<br/><br/>******************************<br/><br/>Voici Stitch<br/><br/>Stitch, deux ans, a besoin d’un foyer adoptif ou d’accueil très calme et expérimenté, où il pourra s’adapter et commencer à se sentir en sécurité. Il est timide et craintif face aux nouvelles personnes, situations et environnements. Il a besoin de temps et de patience pour s’adapter et apprendre à faire confiance.<br/><br/>Avant d’arriver chez nous, Stitch vivait dans un refuge en milieu rural, où il avait été très peu exposé à la circulation ainsi qu’au bruit et à l’activité d’un milieu plus achalandé. Depuis, il a dû faire face à beaucoup de nouveaux bruits, lieux et personnes, ce qui est difficile pour lui. Ce dont il a besoin maintenant, c’est de stabilité, de constance et de familiarité — un foyer calme, une routine prévisible et les mêmes personnes autour de lui chaque jour.<br/><br/>Stitch a besoin d’un adoptant expérimenté et patient qui comprend les chiens craintifs et qui est prêt à lui laisser le temps de s’adapter et de créer une relation à son propre rythme. Un foyer très actif avec des enfants ne lui conviendrait pas.<br/><br/>Stitch s’entend avec les autres chiens, mais les présentations doivent se faire progressivement. Un chien amical, calme et facile à vivre pourrait être un bon compagnon pour lui.<br/><br/>Une cour entièrement et solidement clôturée est essentielle afin que Stitch puisse profiter de l’extérieur en toute sécurité pendant qu’il s’habitue à son nouveau foyer et à son environnement. Ses adoptants devront veiller attentivement à sa sécurité en tout temps.<br/><br/>Stitch est un bon chien qui a du mal à s’adapter à un monde qui lui est encore très peu familier. Avec de la patience, de la stabilité et de la bienveillance, il pourra prendre confiance et créer un lien solide avec sa nouvelle famille.<br/><br/>Si vous pensez pouvoir offrir à ce gentil chien encore très craintif le foyer sécuritaire et aimant qu’il mérite, nous aimerions beaucoup avoir de vos nouvelles.

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.

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.
