Story
Negroni entered Riverside Shelter as a stray, and sadly, she wasn't claimed. On March 24th, we welcomed this lovable 9-year-old, 60-pound girl as a Frosted Face. Negroni has so much love to give and is a smart girl who already knows commands like SIT and SHAKE. She enjoys spending time in play groups with other large dogs and has shown us what a fun, social girl she can be with careful introductions. She is not comfortable with smaller dogs and needs a home without them. Negroni has enjoyed several two-week Frosted Flings, giving her the chance to experience the comforts of home while helping us learn more about her personality and needs in a home setting. These stays have given Negroni lots of love, attention, and valuable time away from a kennel and have shown us even more of the sweet girl she is. Here's the scoop from her most recent foster mom: "Negroni settled in quickly after coming home with us. She has lots of spunk and energy, but at her core she’s a total cuddle bug who just wants to be close to her people. She’s naturally curious and enjoys exploring—especially anywhere she suspects treats might be hiding (like the counter!). That said, any minor mischief is more than made up for by her intelligence and her clear desire to please. She responds very well to guidance and direction, and she quickly became an excellent house guest. As you’d expect, Negroni loves her walks! She walks best with a harness than a collar, and when there are no distractions, she walks beautifully with no pulling. When she sees people or other dogs, she can get excited and pull - she’s not reactive or aggressive, she just really wants to say hello. She will lunge at bikes, so some extra awareness is needed there. Negroni rides well in the car, settles in quickly, and seems to enjoy the ride. She has shown absolutely no signs of aggression, even around food or treats. She may bark a bit when watching the world from the window, but it’s driven by curiosity and a desire to engage, not defensiveness. She’s met a few neighborhood dogs and has been consistently friendly and eager to play. Most of all, Negroni loves being near her people and will happily follow us from room to room whenever she can. At night, she settles nicely into her bed in our bedroom. Negroni is a smart, affectionate, and lively companion who will thrive in a home ready to give her plenty of love, structure, and attention." Negroni is hoping her next chapter will finally be the one that lasts a lifetime. Could you be the person she's been waiting for? To meet Negroni, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org

Story
Boxer mix Female 11 months 26 pounds Coco – Affectionate, Playful Boxer Mix Looking for Her Forever Family Coco is an 11-month-old, 26-lb boxer mix with a big heart and playful spirit. She loves toys, cuddles, and being close to her people. She’s currently being fostered after being rescued from a hospital parking lot in Tijuana, where she was left tied up when her former owner became ill and could no longer care for her. For several days, Coco waited there—gentle, hopeful, and grateful for every bit of attention she received. After getting to know her and seeing how loving she was, we couldn’t leave her behind. Coco was taken to a veterinarian for a full health check, vaccinations, microchipping, and has been thriving in foster care ever since. Coco adores people and bonds quickly. She’s done wonderfully with adults and young children and greets everyone she meets with enthusiasm and affection. She also gets along very well with other dogs and would be especially happy in a home with a canine sibling or people who enjoy playtime, walks, and interactive companionship. She is house-trained, knows to wait to go outside, and is currently learning leash manners. Like many young dogs, she’s still polishing those skills, but she’s eager to learn and responds well to guidance. Coco loves toys—especially chew toys—and while she can entertain herself, her favorite thing is being part of whatever her people are doing. She’s equally happy playing or curling up close for cuddles. Coco is energetic in the best way: playful, curious, and full of joy. She would do well in a home that can provide regular exercise, mental stimulation, and engagement. An apartment can absolutely work for her with an adopter who enjoys getting out for walks, playtime, or other activities to help her burn off her puppy energy. She is healthy, appears to have been well cared for earlier in life, and has no known medical issues. Coco will be spayed prior to adoption. Coco is currently being fostered while we thoughtfully search for the right forever home where she can truly thrive. She is a healthy, loving, and joyful young dog with an incredible capacity for affection and companionship. If you’re looking for a playful, people-loving pup who will bring energy, warmth, and devotion into your life, Coco is ready to meet you and become a cherished part of your family. Please contact Thomas at 619-751-9342 for any adoption inquiries. *PLEASE NOTE: This animal is listed as a courtesy for another organization or private party. This pet has not been evaluated medically or behaviorally by Rancho Coastal Humane Society and is not in our care.
