Forever foster or adopter wanted! Pepper joined us from OC Animal care and was heavily neglected. He had an ulcerated mass removed, had spiders and other insects crawling out of his matted fur during grooming, and has dry eye. He has a few other masses, we are evaluating whether one large one can be removed. Due to his age and medical condition we are seeking a FORVER FOSTER for him in San Diego or Orange County. Thats means Lionel's Legacy will cover his medical care for life through our participating vets.Fill out an adoption application directly on our website at www.lionelslegacy.org

Story
Chiquita became a Frosted Face after her elderly owners’ health declined, making it no longer possible for them to care for her. She is a smart, affectionate little companion who loves being close to her person, is good with other dogs, and responds well to routines. Chiquita sleeps quietly in her crate overnight, can comfortably stay home alone for several hours, and enjoys enrichment activities throughout the day. She is food motivated and already knows several commands, including sit, wait, down, come, leave it, and “get it.” She especially enjoys training games and working for kibble or treats. She also loves car rides and going on outings with her person. That said, Chiquita has a history of behavioral challenges, particularly reactivity in situations where she became startled by loud voices or awakened by touch. Her triggers are not always obvious; she may enjoy affection one moment and react defensively the next. Additionally, Chiquita has also shown some resource guarding around toys, which has been successfully managed using treat trades and toy exchanges rather than taking items directly from her mouth. For these reasons, Chiquita needs an experienced, patient, adult-only home committed to meeting her where she is. An adopter who understands fearful and reactive dogs, recognizes canine body language, and is willing to continue building Chiquita's confidence through positive reinforcement and consistency will be rewarded with a devoted companion. To meet Chiquita, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org

Story
Skip arrived at Bonita Shelter as a stray in heartbreaking condition. In addition to his coat being matted, filthy, and infested with fleas, his back left leg was severely injured. An old bandage was secured with duct tape and contained numerous live maggots. When the bandage was carefully removed, the veterinary staff discovered exposed bone. Understandably, poor Skip was not bearing any weight on this leg, and due to the severity of the injury, it was amputated. Skip's recovery is going well, and thanks to the medical care he received at the shelter, he undoubtedly feels better than he has in a long time. We welcomed Skip as a Frosted Face on June 12th This sweet boy has been through a lot, and we are excited to help him find the loving home he deserves - one where he will be cherished and pampered for the rest of his life. Skip is estimated to be 11 years old and weighs just under 14 pounds. Skip recently went to live in a Foster home, which will give us the opportunity to learn more about him in a home environment while he receives lots of much-deserved TLC. Stay tuned for updates from this sweet boy's foster family! To meet Skip, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org
