Meet PATRICK
At times, and for many reasons, our animals go into foster homes and get adopted out from there rather than the shelter. This animal is in foster care, not at the shelter. Please use the email contact information for the foster family to set up a meet & greet or to get more information.
Patrick (A09769157) is a 1 to 2 year old male pit mix who came in as a stray. He has gorgeous brown eyes and looks like he is wearing eyeliner. Patrick loves to play, but is overall pretty mellow. Patrick knows “sit” and other basic commands! He loves treats and is very gentle while taking them. He loves to chase a ball, but isn’t sure how to play fetch. He will climb into your lap and give gentle kisses. Patrick gets along with all types of other dogs (he currently lives with 3) and is also gentle with his foster parents' cat!
For more information, please email his fosters at: kadlecek@mac.com
Are you interested in one of the dogs at ACCT? If so…
Great! First, decide if you are interested in fostering or adopting!
To determine whether you should apply to foster versus adopt, please consider the following information:
-To adopt a dog means to commit to being the primary caregiver for the dog and keep it in your possession, for yourself for the rest of its life. Adult dogs are $75 to adopt, puppies (under 6 months old) are $125- that donation covers the vaccines, microchip, surgery, etc that the dog has received.
- To foster a dog means to commit to temporarily caring for the dog while also working to find the dog a “forever home”/adopter. While fostering the dog remains ACCT’s property, but the foster parent takes responsibility for marketing the dog, and doing a preliminary screening of any potential adopters. When an adopter is found, the foster parent must coordinate with the ACCT Life Saving office to approve the adopter and finalize the adoption. If the foster parent decides after time that they would like to keep the dog, they must complete the adoption process and pay the adoption fee. ** Fostering is not a trial adoption.**
More about fostering:
Although previous fostering experience is not required, ideal foster care provider will have basic knowledge of animal care and training and be committed to finding their foster animal a safe and loving “forever home”. As a foster care provider, you will provide the animals with care including, food, water, shelter, training, grooming and medical treatment when necessary. The PSPCA will provide clinic and vet care, behavior and training resources, and adoption counseling. We rely on the foster parent to find an adoptive home for the dog, but we can help! We provide adoption events for you attend, can post your foster dog on Petfinder for you, etc. We cannot guarantee how long a foster dog will be in your care, since you keep the dog until an adoptive home is found, which can be anywhere from 2 weeks to a few months depending on the dog, and how heavily you market it.
