Story
Howdy, partner! Meet Cowpoke! 🤠 This little Jack Russell Terrier mix is a true cowboy at heart—full of grit, spunk, and a playful streak a mile wide. Cowpoke might be a bit shy at first, but once he sees you’ve got a toy in hand, he’s ready to saddle up for some serious fun! He’s a drivey little dude who’d do best in a slightly active home—someone who appreciates a good game of fetch and the occasional burst of terrier energy. Give him some patience and time to build trust, and you’ll have a loyal sidekick who’s always up for adventure. If you love watching terrier shenanigans, Cowpoke’s your guy. Thinking about stepping into the working dog world or dog sports? He’s a perfect trail guide for that too! We reckon he’d make a fine little ranch hand for rat hunting—he even knows the “get it!” command. So if you’re looking for a pint-sized partner with plenty of cowboy spirit, hitch up your heart—Cowpoke’s ready to ride off into the sunset with you. 🌅🐾

Story
Russell is an incredibly sweet, snuggly, and spunky little guy - truly a wonderful Terrier. He has been good with young children (3-6), done well with the other dogs he's met, and enjoys talking to and trying to play with 4 outdoor rescue kitties he can interact with through a fence line, so we think he will do quite well with a resident cat. He is one of 4 Terrier mixes abandoned in a very rural neighbor's backyard and never claimed (it seems they were from a backyard breeding project, as other similar dogs were also found by others in the general area and owners never found). The finder was unable to keep them, as he had his own dogs and all 4 *can* climb chain link/welded wire. He and his assumed to be brothers (Rusty, Rascal, and Romeo, the TerrieRs) then had a foster offer in Washington, where they were neutered and finished their vetting. Russell is incredibly sweet, and loves to snuggle. He jumps with joy when you walk up to him, and just has the perfect mix of sweetness and playfulness - he could do well in a variety of home settings. He is crate trained, and has done well in a home with close supervision and interaction, but has not been left to free-roam the house unsupervised (between being 4 intact male dogs, and then crate rest after neuter), but we think he'd be very well-behaved. He has had no crate accidents, and let's people know when he would like to go out/go potty. Because he can climb chain link and welded wire, his main consideration is an adoptive home where he cannot climb out if momentarily bored or lonely, so preferred homes will have wood or vinyl fencing - he would also do well in an apartment setting or similar, where his time outside is supervised or leashed. Russell can be transported to CA for adoption around the middle of October 💓

Story
16-year-old Bart Bubbies was surrendered to the Humane Society of Imperial County by his family for euthanasia due to a urinary tract infection they could not—or chose not to—treat. The shelter declined the request and instead provided Bart with the care he needed. We welcomed this sweet boy as a Frosted Face on November 14th. He weighs just under 14 lbs. Bart went on a two-week Frosted Fling, so we could learn more about him while he enjoyed lots of TLC in the comfort of a home. And what a difference this time in a home made! Bart's Fling Mom reports: "When I brought Bart home, he was a bit skittish and standoffish. That soon changed and he became my shadow, coming up for pets and greeting anyone coming in the door. He really enjoyed being with my 10-year-old grandson. Here's what else I've learned about him: 🐾 Loves exploring the yard. (see video) 🐾 Walks well on a leash & has plenty of pep! 🐾 Sleeps through the night 🐾 Settles down quickly after whining a little when I leave home 🐾 Enjoys pets and head scratches 🐾 Rides peacefully in the car 🐾 Likes head scratches 🐾 Is very good about getting a bath Bart has plenty of energy around the yard, and walks. He was quiet and mellow in the house. I'm hoping Bart finds his forever family soon - they will score one happy and loving companion!" Bart is currently on a second Fling to spend time in a home for the holidays, but he is still on the lookout for a forever home. Might that be with you? To meet Bart, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org
