Featured pet: Sammy
Sammy , a two year old lab mix, is an outgoing and friendly dog who was rescued from the remote north in late August. While we don't know the exact circumstances of his rescue nor the details of his prior life, he is very trusting of people and is accustomed to living in a house.
Following his arrival at the shelter, Sammy was transferred to a foster home where he quickly settled into the household routine. Friendly and outgoing, he seems to adjust to new environments and new people quickly. He was very relaxed when undergoing his vet exam, didn't mind having his nails trimmed and was fine about being bathed. Suffice it to say, Sammy is very good natured.
Sammy is said to be dog social and did interact with dogs previous to coming into our care but because he is recovering from kennel cough, we haven't had a chance to test him ourselves. As for cats, although initially he showed a little too much enthusiasm towards the cat with whom he currently shares a home, they have since settled into a mutually agreeable relationship. Sammy now accepts that the cat is in charge.
Out on walks, Sammy is generally ok on the leash but he is still learning and needs someone who is firm and consistent to keep him on track. When encountering wildlife along the trail, he stays calm and is content to sit and watch from a distance.
Sammy is an affectionate, handsome and happy dog who is content to sleep in his crate at night (although he would probably prefer the couch) and who is well behaved in the home overall.
If you are interested in finding out more about him, 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
We'd also like to take this opportunity to let readers know that our annual benefit auction will be taking place on Sunday October 22nd at 1 p.m in the town of Beebe (close to the shelter) so please mark your calendars. It's a fun event with lots of great items up for bid. All money raised supports the shelter and the animals in our care. We'll provide more information as we near the date.
