We adopted Louie when we thought that we would have ample time to train him and give him the proper attention he deserves. Unfortunately our circumstances changed, and we both have demanding schedules that will not enable us to be the best family for Louie as we had hoped. Louie is incredibly loving and loyal, he is happiest sitting next to you on the couch. An ideal family would work from home or have a schedule that allows Louie to spend most of their time together.

Story
Meet Rubicon! Rubicon came to us from the San Diego Humane Society on April 5th, and only two days later, he was chosen to live in a Foster home. Rubicon is a 10-year-old, 17.5-pound bundle of sweetness. He’s friendly, gentle, and a huge fan of pets, cuddles, and curling up in your lap. Basically, he’s the coziest little shadow you could ask for! Since settling into his foster home, we’ve learned that Rubicon is a total lovebug who thrives on companionship. He adores being talked to and rides like a champ in the car. Rubicon enjoys short walks with his foster mom around the neighborhood. He has limited vision and sticks close to follow her lead. Now that he’s comfy, Rubicon has also found his voice! He’s started alerting his humans when someone’s at the door, but he’s learning the “quiet” command and is getting the hang of it. A little background noise, like the radio or TV, helps him stay relaxed when left home alone. Rubicon is a bit shy at first with new people, but once he gets a sniff and a moment to settle in, he blossoms into the sweetest sidekick. He gets along with other dogs just fine, though he’s more about people than puppy parties. He’s not picky about food and does well with regular potty breaks (every 2–4 hours during the day keeps him accident-free). Bonus: he sleeps like a dream through the night. Rubicon is looking for a quiet, loving home where he can feel safe and treasured. Might it be with you? To meet this sweet senior, please email placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org

Story
Meet the most fabulous tripod! Hello there! My name is Matilda, and I'm a resilient 3-year-old, 14-pound spayed female terrier mix with a heart full of love and a spirit that can't be held back. I may be a tripod, but trust me, I've got more love and zest for life than you can imagine. I had a rough start, found in TJ walking on my hind legs due to unbearable pain in my front legs. Thanks to the care and love of my rescuers, I'm now on the road to recovery. I have a bone fungal infection that requires ongoing medical attention, and I visit the Vet Specialist regularly. Don't worry, it's not contagious, and I'm on top of my medications – Terbinafine ~$15.00 for a month's supply, Voriconazole ~$115.00 for 1 month supply, depending on market value and where purchased. Dasuquin to support joint mobility ~$41.00 for 3 months supply depending on market value and where purchased-- all to keep me happy, healthy, and moving. I am fully bathroom and leash trained. Now, let me tell you a bit about my wonderful personality. I am dog that loves people, and does not love other dogs or cats. I want to be the shining star! I'm what they call a Velcro dog – I'll follow you everywhere, matching your energy whether you're in the mood for play or relaxation. I do have some anxieties, especially around new people and animals, so patience is key. Loud trucks and pushy pets aren't my favorite, and I prefer to have my humans' love all to myself. Despite my initial reservations, once I know you, I'm the ultimate companion, ready to be by your side 24/7. I'm pretty easygoing, enjoying lounging on the couch, basking in the sun, and playing with my toys by myself. I'd thrive in a quiet home with my own space, as an only dog. In essence, I'm a gem of a dog, and I'm looking for a loving family to share my life with. If you're ready for a dog who will shower you with love and bring endless joy into your home, please consider giving me a chance. I promise, you won't regret it! If you work from home, that's even better – I need a potty break every 4ish hours. I'm okay being alone for about 4 hours, either crated or uncrated, but I do like to get my morning zoomies out and play with my stuffed animals. I should be in a home with children 10 years and older only. If you're interested in making me a part of your family, please reach out right away! My adoption fee is $350 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/ Follow me on IG @tapinwithMatilda ##1765244##

Story
It will be all oh-kai! Hi there! My name is Kai, and I’m a 4-year-old, 43-pound spayed Terrier mix. I was scooped up in Rosario, Mexico, where I was found underweight and living on the streets. I’ve come a long way since then and am ready to find my furever home! I’m a total sweetheart once you’ve earned my trust. I’ll then be your best friend and will be excited every time we see each other! I’m a high-energy gal, and I enjoy being your running buddy on runs through the neighborhood. My other favorite activities include chasing my Chuckit! ball, eating, playing tug-o-war, and sniffing for treats. I’m now fully potty-trained and crate-trained. Leash training is a work in progress, though, since I tend to pull a lot. My biggest challenge, however, is my stranger danger. I tend to become anxious and on high alert once I get outside of my comfort zone. No separation anxiety here, though, especially when I’m left behind with another doggie friend to play with. My ideal household would be a quieter home that had familiar people coming in and out. I’d love a nice backyard to play in, and I’d do just fine as either the only dog or with a well-rounded, confident doggie sibling. No kitties or children, please.  Other than that, a lot of patience and love will help me become my best self! My adoption fee is $250 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.  If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/.   ##1143469##
