My name is Frostine!

FROSTINE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name: Frostine        Best Guess for Breed: Chihuahua/Terrier mix

Best Guess for Age:   3 years and 11 months as of April 2024        SEX: Female

Approximate Weight:  15.2 lbs

Gets Along With:   Frostine does well with other dogs and cats. Due to her breed mix, we do not recommend her for a home with children under the age of 12.
 

Currently Living at: DC area foster

Special adoption considerations:   Because Frostine was rescued and pulled from a shelter before she could be altered, she is not yet spayed. We have scheduled her to be spayed; however, if she is adopted before the spay, her adopter must assume responsibility for the spay. It must be completed by May 13, 3024; there are NO EXCEPTIONS and NO EXTENSIONS to this date. The adopter may take over the Lucky Dog appointment slot. 

Frostine is also from a hoarding/cruelty situation, and was very scared at rescue. She was placed in a short term foster home pending a hoped-for flight to the DC area on 4/13 (foster or adopter needed for that to happen!) and has been making great strides! We think she will benefit from being in a home with a welcoming resident dog or having numerous opportunities to be around other dogs in various environments - they will show her how to dog in new places! Extra patient and loving humans are definitely needed. Additionally, due to her breed mix, she may not go to a home with children under the age of 12. 

Frostine is Looking For:  For a loving home that delivers all the sweet things her rescuers whispered in her ear.... 'You're safe now, sweet girl. The life you deserve starts now. You get lots of love, quality kibble, a cushy dog bed - and a warm lap if you'd like too. You're safe now, sweet girl.'

Frostine was rescued from a hoarding/cruelty case and landed in a massive south Texas shelter that routinely has 1200-1500 animals in their care; her chances of being adopted in that area are, well, low to nil. She likely will be nervous in new environments and is eager to get her own humans - ones who get that she might need extra support during her adjustment and give her all the love and patience she needs. And ones who take her for sniffy walks and all those adventures she's been missing out on! And what do they get in return? An incredibly sweet and loving dog with an enormous stockpile of adoring gazes and loyal companionship to offer the humans in her new chapter.  

What do you say? Will you help her write it?

What My Foster Says About Me: this little lady is so sweet! Frostine is super cuddly with me and plays well with the resident dog and cat. She’s been super quiet so we’re waiting to see when she’ll find her voice. Leash walking appears to be a new experience for but she’s making progres,

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
