Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Cameron was returned this summer - 9 months after he was adopted! Now he's looking for a REAL forever family.  Cameron is best described as a Cat-Dog. Much like a cat Cameron is happy on his own, and likes to be petted - but when he's ready. He isn't gonna try to steal the spotlight because he'd much rather hang out on his own - until he's comfortable. If you are looking for a fast friend, this is NOT the dog for you. But if you want to invest the time and let the dog feel relaxed and safe, he will repay you by letting you pet his chin. Cameron will do really well in a home with another small dog to help him feel more comfortable, or with a human that won't put too much pressure on him to be their friend. He is leash trained, crate trained and will need a dog savvy adopter. =============================================================== Originally, Cameron came to us after his owner was evicted and decided to abandon the house full of animals when they left.  Cameron and the two pack mates that we pulled with him were terrified. It's been 9 months and these cutie pies are available for adoption.  Cameron is the slowest to come around of the 3 dogs we pulled. While he is more comfortable hanging out by himself he does like people.  Cameron absolutely loves to run around the yard, and the more you praise how fast he is, the faster he runs - with a smile! Cameron is still shy and needs an owner that will go slow with him, but still apply a little bit of pressure. If you'd like to meet Cameron, come on down to our adoption center. Thursday - Saturday 11 - 4.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 10, 2026, 12:05 am

Story
Yeti was found running loose near an AM/PM convenience store along a busy road and brought to San Bernardino City Animal Shelter by a Good Samaritan. Sadly, no one came forward to claim him, so we were happy to welcome Yeti as a Frosted Face on October 27th. Yeti is estimated to be 12 years old, weighs 13 pounds, and is a very friendly little guy! We look forward to getting to know Yeti better as he settles in and will share more about his personality as we learn more about him. Stay tuned for updates! To meet Yeti, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org

Story
Sunny is a Papillon/Chihuahua puppy who is 7 months old and weighs 7 pounds. She is very affectionate, very smart, and very, very active. She loves to play, especially with another dog, and her forever home should have a playful small dog but no cats and no small children. She is spayed, microchipped, crate-trained and has all her puppy shots. Those are the basics but they don’t do Sunny justice. She is a one-of-a-kind. She loves everyone. She is a canine Energizer bunny who joyfully plays with toys and with her doggy pal. She’s exceptionally intelligent. She will get a toy from another room when asked. She entertains with hilarious antics and is curious and alert. She likes to alert you to sights and sounds outside. We are working on learning to do that quietly. If you may be interested in adopting Sunny, email paprescuesocal@gmail.com with any questions and to request an adoption application. We adopt only in San Diego County and some areas of Orange and Riverside Counties.

Story
Penny is a 5-year-old Cavapoo who is looking for a home where she can continue to build on all the progress she has made. Penny came to us after having some behavioral struggles in her previous home, including reactivity toward dogs and people and resource guarding. Since coming into our care and going through training, we have not seen any of those behaviors in her foster home. She has been doing really well and is showing us what a sweet, lovable little dog she can be when given the right structure and support. Penny loves to snuggle and be close to her people, but she also appreciates having some time to herself. She does well with other dogs, although she doesn't seem particularly interested in playing with them. She's perfectly happy doing her own thing and doesn't need a canine best friend to be happy. Penny is crate trained and will come with four professional on-leash training sessions to help her new family continue building on the foundation she has already established. Like any dog, Penny will do best with a family who is committed to consistency, structure, and continuing the work that has helped her thrive. At this time, we believe Penny would be fine with another dog or older children in the home she just would not interact with either very much. If you're looking for a sweet little companion who has worked hard to overcome some challenges and is ready for her next chapter, Penny may be your girl.
