Story

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Two tiny dog divas are officially accepting applications for their forever humans. Meet Coco & Baby — the “No Cats, Please & Thank You” Committee. (Seriously. They saw a cat once and are still filing emotional paperwork.) 🚫🐱 👑 Coco – 8-year-old brown Chihuahua • House-trained and runs her home like a tiny CEO • Shy with dogs but warms up once she’s done the background check • LOVES kids and will absolutely adopt your children as her own • Treats Baby like her furry offspring 🌟 Baby – 6-year-old white Maltese • A fluffy lovebug who believes personal space is a myth • House-trained and proud of it • Barks at strangers, then immediately becomes their best friend • Family-friendly, cat-unfriendly (she insists this is a personality trait) 🍽️ Dietary Notes: Grandma used to serve ground beef like a Michelin-star chef, so yes…. they are picky eaters and currently interviewing new kibble options. 😅. They both weigh about 13 lbs, but are looking forward to getting back in shape. 💞 The Bond: These two are basically a married couple. They do everything together. They demand 24/7 companionship. We’re gently teaching them independence, but it’s like explaining WiFi to a potato. 🏡 Seeking: A patient, loving, cat-free home where these pint-sized comedians can thrive. They promise endless love, loyalty, and entertainment. Could you be the human of their dreams? 💕 #AdoptCocoAndBaby #BondedPair #RescueDogs #SmallDogDrama #NoCatsAllowed Apply at www.DMDR.org/adopt

Story

Kindle was found as a stray and taken to the San Humane Society. Sadly, she wasn't claimed, so on December 2nd, we welcomed her as a Frosted Face. Kindle is estimated to be 8 years old and weighs 19 lbs. She is super sweet, gentle, and good with children and other dogs! A volunteer and her children took Kindle on a special outing and shared this glowing review afterwards: "My kids helped plan the best day for Kindle, and we absolutely fell in love with her. Kindle was a perfect passenger, laying down and falling right asleep in the seat next to me. After school, we attempted a walk to the park. While Kindle is great on the leash, she was kind of uninterested in actually going anywhere and preferred smelling and exploring. Kindle is so sweet. Truly not an aggressive bone in her body. She let me wipe near her eyes, tolerated multiple kids and even sat inches away while there was human food and had no reaction or aggression whatsoever. Kindle LOVES scratches! At the end of the day, I think she enjoyed being lazy and getting scratches the most today! She makes the cutest “happy howl” when she’s getting good pets. We couldn’t handle how cute it was! (See video.) I encourage anyone looking for a very easy, and loving dog to come and meet Kindle soon!" Kindle is currently on a two-week Frosted Fling, so we can learn what she is like in a home setting while she soaks up lots of TLC. Stay tuned for updates!

Story

We welcomed Marley as a Frosted Face on December 2nd. He is 12 years old, weighs 20 lbs., and is so very sweet. Marley was surrendered to the San Diego Humane Society by his owners, who cited not having for him as the reason. They described Marley as a good boy that does well with kids and other dogs, and we can attest that's true - along with many other great qualities. Marley joined volunteers and other Frosted Faces at a community event and was a superstar! He was great in the car, perfect on a leash, friendly with everyone he met (even toddlers!) and pranced around all afternoon with the biggest smile! Marley is a cuddle bug for sure, and he barely made a peep the entire afternoon. Marley is currently on a two-week Frosted Fling, so we can learn what he's like in a home setting. His Fling Mom shares: "Marley is one great little guy! On the first night, he went directly to a dog bed and spent the night there. He is house-trained and sleeps through the night quietly. He has not chewed on anything or been destructive at all. Marley walks well on a leash. He loves getting pets and snuggles but is also cool laying alone at the end of the couch or on a dog bed. I haven’t heard him bark at anything at all so far. We have not seen any resource guarding even when my large dog has approached Marley while he’s eating. When I left them home together for the first time, I had a friend stop by and peak in to check on things, she reported they were laying quietly next to each other on the floor. Marley has great recall, isn’t a door dasher, and is an all around great little guy! Whoever adopts him is going to be very lucky and be very loved." Check back for the next update from Marley's Fling! To meet Marley, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org

Story

BoBo is ready for adoption! BoBo, a 1 1/2 year old, 10 lb male malti-poo is ready for his forever home. BoBo is a sweet, mellow boy that loves snuggling on a lap and follows his foster mom around the house. He hangs out while foster dad works, goes outside for potty breaks, and is staring to enjoy walks (we think it's the first time he's ever been on a walk). He doesn't play with toys yet, he's not sure what they are, but that will come (he has a fun, silly side that is just starting to show). BoBo seems like he was pretty neglected before ending up in a local shelter matted and dirty. BoBo is doing great on his house training, sleeps in his foster parent's bed all night with out a peep, and will make a lucky family a great loving companion. If you want to mellow dog to snuggle with, BoBo might be your guy! His adoption fee is $450 and includes his neuter, microchip and current vaccinations. To fill out an adoption application, visit https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SSP-A-1613 To follow BoBo on his journey to a loving family on SPOT's Facebook page, visit https://facebook.com/spotsavespets/ and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/spotsavespets/

Story

Meet Madero! He is an adorable lap sized Maltese and Poodle mix around 7 months old. He is friendly and playful, eager to learn his manners and make new friends. Madero sleeps in his crate at night and is housetrained in his current foster home. Madero can be a little shy at first but once he warms up, he's the best cuddle buddy. He would prefer a home where his humans either work from home or are home more often than not. Madero is looking for a family that understands the time, patience, and energy needed to raise a young pup. Additionally, this cutie is going to need proper exercise, mental stimulation, and your attention and love to grow up to be the best companion.
