Fontina

My story

Watch out world, here comes Fontina! Fontina is estimated to be around 4 months old and is a little ball of energy ready for some adventure! She is a social and happy girl whose favorite activities include wrestling with her sister and romping around in the backyard. She is definitely a tomboy and isn't afraid to get her little paws dirty and have some fun. Fontina weighs about 25lbs, and we estimate she will be at least 60lbs when fully grown. Fontina and the rest of her cheese-named siblings were transferred to us from another rescue, BONES. BONES is located in a rural part of Northern California where there is a large population of stray and feral dogs. They work to rescue moms and puppies and abandoned litters of puppies off the streets and send them to other rescues who can help get them adopted. Fontina and her siblings were found as strays without their mom. They have been thriving in foster care ever since and are looking for individual homes so they can get the one-on-one care they need. Fontina is the smartypants of the group and is always eager to find a way to earn some tasty treats. She has been acing her basic manners training and needs a family dedicated to continuing her training to help her be the best girl she can be. Fontina would thrive with an active family who will include her in all their adventures. She loves to be with her people and can't wait to start her life making memories with her fur-ever family. Fontina loves other dogs and could make a great little sister to a playful pup. She also seems like she could do well as an only dog with lots of socializing with other dogs friends. Fontina has done well living with a cat and could do well with a dog-savvy cat in her new home with a slow introduction and proper supervision. Fontina could make a wonderful addition to a family with kids 7 years and older. Fontina has been doing great with her housetraining and knows how to use a dog door. She is still not 100% trained and may have accidents while adjusting to a new routine and environment, so her new family will need to be patient with her and help her learn. Fontina has been doing very well with her crate training and is comfortable sleeping through the night in her crate and being crated during the day for short periods.

The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit, foster home-based animal rescue organization and does not have a shelter. All our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes. Our adoption fees help us cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, microchip and registration, and rabies vaccination (if over 4 months of age at intake or spay/neuter) for all animals. Dogs are tested for heartworm, started on preventatives, and given a DAPP vaccination. Adult dogs are up to date on their vaccinations prior to adoption. Puppies will be current on the vaccinations appropriate to their age. The adopter is responsible for additional vaccinations as necessary after the adoption.
