Story
9-year-old Kohala was entrusted to our care through the Final Wish Program after her mom was transferred to a hospice facility for her final days. Soon after becoming a Frosted Face, Kohala went on a two-week Frosted Fling, where she got lots of love and attention in the comfort of a home. Kohala's Fling Mom reports: "Kohala is a very sweet and loving girl. And smart, too - she knows how to sit and shake on command. Kohala loves to play with her ball and go for walks. Kohala rides nicely in the car - I recommend using a seatbelt to help keep her happy wiggles in check. She's an exuberant gal who loves exploring in a store and walking briskly at the park. If I had to describe Kohala I'd say she is like that friend who is always happy and always ready for an adventure. Kohala slept by my bed and sometimes underneath it. She has difficulty jumping up and down from the bed, I recommend lifting her on and off or using pet steps to help her get on and off safely Kohala is a truly loving dog who will make a devoted companion. She’s looking for a home where she can be with her people and get lots of love and attention. If you’re looking for a sweet and loyal dog who will adore you, Kohala is the one for you!" Kohala currently lives in a Foster home while she waits for her forever family. Might that be you? Please email placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org to meet this precious girl.

These pups are in San Diego, California too!

Story
Age: 9 years old Gender: Male Breed: Shih Tzu mix Weight: 26 lbs Personality: Yuki is wary of strangers but will warm up to people with a bit of chicken and patience on the human's side. Yuki is a mellow guy who loves to nap next to you and lounge in the sun. Yuki is content to sleep the day away near his person but is also up for playing with stuffed animals and fetching! Yuki does well on leash but is quick to warn you that strangers are nearby. He has some barrier frustration, but is generally very easy going once he has warmed up to you. He loves going for car rides and is a great passenger, although drive thru cashiers may be startled at his sudden alerting. Yuki does well with other dogs. He is polite enough to leave old grumpy dogs alone but will play with young energetic pups. He does not resource guard his person, but does show some food guarding tendencies. It would be safest to feed separately. Needs a home with no children or older children who will treat him with respect and give him space as needed. If you have some chicken and just two days of patience, you will be rewarded with so much love. Yuki is an easy dog, he is crate trained, potty trained, and walks well on leash. He is generally a gentle, mellow guy with great house manners. He has a case of stranger danger, but can be redirected when he is reacting. Yuki loves hanging out with his human, but does well when left alone. He will sleep until you return and greet you wholeheartedly. Yuki takes a little bit to warm up to his person, but once you earn his trust, you will find that no one else will look at you with as much love in their eyes as Yuki.  Education: Good with bathroom and leash training Favorite Activities: Napping, cuddling, chewing tags and eyeballs off stuffed animals, fetch, sun bathing. He's also extremely dog friendly Looking for: A sweet person or family who can give him space, be patient with him and respect/ advocate for his boundaries while he learns to trust humans. Ideally older and respectful kids are ok, and so are dogs. He is currently taking Prozac (~$5-10 for a month's supply, depending on market value and where purchased) to successfully help manage his anxiety around new people.  Adoption Fee: $ 350 ##1592807##
