Chiquita

Maltese Poodle (Miniature)

Female, 7 yrs 4 mos

Ramona, CA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

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

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

9-year-old Griffin arrived at Los Angeles Animal Care & Control’s Palmdale Shelter as part of a cruelty case. We agreed to foster him to help create additional space at the shelter while the case was under investigation. During that time, Griffin went on a Frosted Fling, where he received lots of loving care while we learned more about him in a home setting. Here's the scoop from his foster mom: Griffin is the sweetest little companion looking for a calm, loving home. He’s a gentle, affectionate Velcro dog who wants nothing more than to be near his people. While he can be a little anxious at first, every day he grows more confident, trusting, and loving. Highlights: • Great eater (loves wet food!) • Excellent on leash — no pulling • Calm in a stroller and great in the car • Non-reactive towards other dogs on walks • Friendly with everyone he meets • Sleeps through the night in his crate • Can use stairs and jump on the couch • Loves sitting next to you • Easy to bathe • Loves naps, pillows, cozy beds, and sunbathing • Somewhat playful and interested in toys Griffin sometimes cries when when left alone, understandable after all he's been through recently. The good news is that he loves his crate and sees it as his safe space. With white noise playing, he settles quietly when left alone and has done great for up to 4 hours with no noise or issues. Watching Griffin slowly learn to trust has been incredibly rewarding — he’s even starting to crawl into laps and figure out how to give kisses. To give Griffin the loving forever home he deserves, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org
