Welcome

Adopting from Frontier
Potential adopters must visit the animals and fill out our
pre-adoption information sheet. Then, if there is a pet that you
would like as a member of your family, we recommend that you
take 48 hours to give us a chance to go over your information,
making sure that your chosen pet is a good match for you, and to give yourself a chance to seriously consider the adoption. We hope
that adoptions will be permanent and families must remember that
this often means a 12-14 year commitment to the care and
loving of your chosen pet.

Adoption Stories

BRUTUS


I was there on the day that he arrived at the shelter. He was old, thin, his coat was dull and the muscles in his hind end had atrophied. Those big brown eyes held a depth that I didn't see every day. I fell in love immediately. I asked for his story and was told that his previous owners had left him tied to the porch and then moved away. We expected that it would be nearly impossible to find his forever home. [read more]
QUARTER

I first met Quarter, and his daughter Sasha, last March. Emaciated beyond belief, they were the most pathetic dogs I had yet encountered at Fer. I could visually count every rib and clearly see their hip bones - it was awful. These dogs were so terrible looking, I had some serious doubts about their health/survival, much less the adoption chances for two such sad and desperate animals. As I walked up to Quarters kennel, my eyes welled up with tears [read more]
PATCHES

After spending days on "petfinder.com" searching for the perfect dog match,
   I was about to give up when I saw Patches. A part Dalmatian, part something
   else mix. Her pictures showed her as mostly black with a polka dotted
   under-belly; her face: half salt and pepper, the other half black; her
   white tail, striped with rings of black. One ear fell to the front, while
   the other stuck out to the side. She was a funny looking dog, but for some
   reason I felt compelled to e-mail my application immediately. [read more]
