Everyone, meet Dolly! She is a terrier mix, 5 yrs old, 10 pounds. The adorable, fun-loving, and loyal pup who is just waiting to give you lots of kisses and snuggles! Dolly is an amazing companion - she's , affectionate, gentle, smart, curious, and funny, and she's medium energy who loves nothing more than hanging out with her favourite people. She's also great other dogs, making her an ideal family pet. Her easy-going personality makes her an ideal companion for any household, and her loyalty and devotion are unmatched. She likes walks but is just as happy to snuggle up on the couch with you at the end of the day. She loves belly rubs! Dolly is looking for a forever home where she can be loved and cared for, and she promises to return your love tenfold with her sweet and gentle demeanor. She was found on the streets, curled up on a little ball, cold and hungry. When she was first rescued she was timid, but after living with a foster parent she gained confidence and trust humans. Please give her a little time to adjust if you decide to welcome her into your home. She deserves to go to family that will love her forever. Don't miss out on the chance to welcome this wonderful pup into your life. Please consider adopting Dolly, and giving her the loving home she deserves.

Story
*This is a courtesy listing.* Meet Jiggy! 11-year-old Jiggy is a mini-Schnauzer mix that needs a loving new home. He has been a beloved pet since he was adopted from a shelter as a puppy. Unfortunately, Jiggy has struggled to adjust since a baby joined his family 18 months ago, and he recently bit her. He has never shown any aggression or bit anyone previously, and his family understands that it is stressful for him as a senior to have a busy toddler around. In consideration for their toddler's safety as well as Jiggy's well-being, they have made the difficult decision to rehome him. Jiggy is a sweet companion who enjoys playing with toys and going for walks. He is in good health and house-trained. Jiggy would do best in a home with adults-only or with a family that has older children. He would prefer to be the only dog. To learn more about Jiggy, please contact Paulina at (619) 254-9984 or paund13@gmail.com. *Frosted Faces Foundation has not assessed this dog medically or behaviorally.*

Please come to our adoption event to meet them: Saturday 05/28 from 4:30 pm to 6: pm at PetSmart in Clairemont, 4253 Genesee Ave, San Diego, CA 92117 **Please read all the way to the bottom about our organization, and how to procced to adopt. Nachos is a wonderful mellow young male fur 4 leg boy with lots of love to give you!! he has this wonderful soft & wired hair that makes him look so cute!!😊making him a hypoallergenic or low shedding boy:) He is very playful; and gets along with all dogs. He plays so much with his buddy an Australian Shepherd named Lady. However, at the beginning he is a little shy - once he is comfortable he will be very playful. He is crate trained. He is a cuddle bug once he is comfortable. He has the ideal size as well - not too small neither too large:) As with all rescued fur kids; he is going to need training, love reinforcement; as you know they all come from a tough beginning on their lives and the art of adopting a rescued creature is to bring them to be the best they can be with love and patience. He hasn't been around cats since we rescued him; therefore, we do not know how he will be cats. Nachos will make a great family addition to any family:) He was found next to the death body of another dog; we assumed a sister - he was crying for her - and wasn't let her be there left alone - The hybrid is a people pleaser and will, therefore, respond well to training while enjoying the attention and the chance to make you happy that comes with it. This Schnauzer Terrier Mix is entirely compatible with children because they demonstrate both playfulness and patience. Moreover, these dogs are quite easy to socialize. Are you ready to give him a forever home? If so, Please text at 619-576-0747 as 1st type of contact or email veronica.aaofusa@gmail.com or visit our website at www.aaofus.org and complete our application at the following link: http://aaofus.org/adoption-application.html .
