PATRICK, the survivor/miracle boy/one who surpassed all expectations—all thanks to YOU for your encouragement and financial support! Three weeks ago, Patrick was found in a ditch on Campbell Highway one leg, shattered, and the other one in need of repair. Patrick is a two-year-old pitbull mix, 60 pounds, friendly and sweet, despite his traumatic injuries. Because of the support of the community, we collected enough funds to fix! He’s not a $6 million man, but he is close! Patrick had his stitches out last week, and has been strengthening his leg by doing what he feels like doing. The vet has told his foster family he has unlimited exercise allowance now, and while he will still want to rest frequently, he is no longer in need of his fentanyl patch or heavy duty pain meds, and now he just needs to complete healing and strengthening. Patrick was neutered at the time of his repairs, and is still working on re-sheathing his male parts. we are guessing there is some nerve damage that has caused an issue with this, but Foster Dad has not given up and feels he has seen improvement. We are considering using a male wrap to help him keep himself clean, and if needed, we can consider further surgery. Let’s give him some time to heal first! Patrick is available for adoption!

Additional adoption info
We start with an application so our volunteers and fosters can have an idea of what the adopter is seeking. We ask that other pets in the home be spayed/neutered already if of appropriate age, current with rabies shots, and prefer use of heartworm preventive. We ask for a non-family personal reference as well as a vet reference to contact. We do home visits only if we feel it is vital to the pet's successful placement.
Applications are generally processed within 24 to 48 hours. Foster parents will contact the applicants to advise them of the progress of their application and to set up a meet and greet. Because volunteers work full-time jobs, contact is often made by email.
Fees to adopt range from $20 to $80 for cats, and from $75 to $300 for dogs. A contract requires that the adopter contact FOAC and return the pet to our care at any time if the adoption does not work out.
