Story
Adopted from a shelter in 2011 as a one year old pup, Dante has spent the past 15 years as a loved family member. Unfortunately, his senior owners are unable to continue caring for him due to their health issues, Their children have been taking care of Dante while trying to find a loving new home for him. On January 3rd, he was entrusted to our care. Dante's family describes him as a sweet, well-behaved dog, who is patient and gentle with children and does well around other dogs. He enjoys going for walks, resting outside in the sun, or sleeping cozied up under his blankets. As Dante gets close to home on walks, he happily runs ahead to the gate. If you are looking for an easygoing and devoted companion, Dante might be the one for you! To meet Dante, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org

Gigi will be your best girlie! Hello, there! I’m Gigi– a little lady with a big heart, a dash of sass, and a deep love for my people. At 8 years young, I’m the ultimate companion. I’m a cute Cairn terrier (if I don’t say so myself) at a nice medium-sized, 45 pounds. I adore snuggling on the couch, sleeping in bed with my humans, going on sniff-filled strolls, and proudly carrying around my stuffed animals like tiny trophies. I found my way to TAP as a transfer from Pasadena Humane Society after the wildfires.  Since then, I’ve settled in and learned what it means to be a carefree pup. I like other dogs, but I can be protective when it comes to sharing my favorite things (can you blame a girl for wanting to keep her treats and toys?). With patient guidance, I know I’ll get there! After all, I’m an extremely smart girl.  On leash, I am a little reactive and am working on being able to say hello to other pups.  Off-leash, though, I’m A-OK.  Other than that, I’m fully potty-trained and crate-trained, eager to please, and love being part of a family. I do have a bit of general anxiety here and there but am currently taking CBD to help manage it. I’d love an active home where I can be your devoted little shadow – someone who understands that I thrive with a routine, plenty of walks and activity, and lots of love. I’m the pawfect balance of active energy and cute cuddles.  (I’ve even been told that I have the energy and spunk of a dog half my age!) Due to my resource guarding, I’d be best as your solo sweetheart or with a mellow, submissive pooch so that I can be the Alpha.  I’ve already grown so much with my foster fam and know that I will continue to blossom with love and patience. If you’re looking for a sweet, spunky girl who’s ready to find her furever, I just might be the perfect fit. Come meet me—I’ll be the one wagging my tail, waiting for you! My adoption fee is $150 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/   ##2276552##
