Featured pet: Patty
When we received the call asking if we would be willing to take 1 year old Patty under our wing, we knew there was a good possibility that finding her a home would be somewhat more challenging. Not because she has any behavioural or temperament issues but because she has been diagnosed with epilepsy. We know her perfect forever family is out there, we just have to make the connection.
We were told she has had two seizures, the first one at approximately four months. Based on the circumstances surrounding each of her seizures, stress definitely seems to be a trigger. She is now on medication which costs $35.00 per month. Patty has not had a seizure since arriving at the shelter which is a good sign given that it was a big change.
We are happy to talk to you more about her health and encourage you to speak to your own veterinarian so you have a better understanding of the implications of adopting a dog with this condition.
Patty is a lovely girl who gets along with other dogs. She enjoys her walks and is happy to spend time in our dog park where she indulges in the one-onone attention she gets from volunteers.
Patty comes to us from a breeding facility where her quality of life was not a priority so although we hope to find her a loving forever home soon, she is certainly better off than she was.
Just like any other dog, she deserves to experience and enjoy life to the fullest and we're determined to ensure that happens. If you are ready to open your heart and your home to this wonderful dog, we'd love to hear from you. Please send an email to frontieranimalsociety@gmail.com or better yet give our adoption coordinator Brenda a call at 819.876.7747 any day of the week between 8 a.m and 8 p.m. Patty is not well suited to a home with young children.
We also want to take this opportunity to let readers know that our annual dog walk fundraiser will be taking place on Saturday June 2nd. Once again we will be walking along the beautiful Tomifobia Nature Trail. It's our biggest fundraiser of the year so we hope to see you there! More details to come next week.
