Story
Reggie Bucks and Maxamillion arrived at the Santa Barbara Shelter as strays together, and sadly, no one came forward to claim this sweet duo. Thankfully, shelter staff advocated for their rescue, and on September 29th, we welcomed both as Frosted Faces! These two are more than friends - they’re family, and they make it clear that they want to navigate life side by side. Reggie, estimated to be 13 years old and weighing 34 pounds, is the big sister while 10-year-old Max is the little brother at just 13 pounds. Because Reggie and Max love each other so much, we keep them together in one of our larger kennels. They do everything as a team, from strolling side by side on walks to relaxing together in our play yard and snuggling up on their shared bed. Wherever one goes, the other is never far away! Reggie and Max have also enjoyed an outing with our volunteers, earning rave reviews for riding nicely in the car and being well-behaved while out and about. They make wonderful companions and seem happiest simply being together. Recently, Reggie needed dental surgery and spent several days hospitalized while recovering. When she returned to our adoption center, Max was absolutely overjoyed to see his beloved big sister again! Their happy reunion was an adorable reminder of just how special their bond is. Reggie and Max are a ready-made family, and our wish is that a very special family will open their heart and home to BOTH of them. They have already found comfort and companionship in each other, and we'd love for them to spend their golden years together in a home where they can feel safe, cherished, and adored. Could you be the special person who gives this devoted duo their happily-ever-after? To meet Reggie and Max, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org

Story
This beautiful pup is called Sweetz for a reason – she is so wonderfully sweet, tolerant, loving, and cute that the name Sweetz just fits her perfectly! Sweetz has a truly delightful personality! She’s only about 1 year old and we think that full grown, she’ll weigh between maybe 50 and 60 pounds. With her beautiful café-au-lait coat, we think Sweetz looks mostly like a Rhodesian Ridgeback, Black Mouth Cur, and maybe even Anatolian Shepherd blend. Whatever her mix is, Sweetz will make an incredible companion for a family or a single person who is active and athletic. Sweetz is well-behaved, friendly, and very smart. She gets along great with all other dogs too. Of course, her adoption covers her spay, all of her shots, and whatever incidentals she needs to make a happy healthy family friend. To meet Ms. Sweetz, pls email findabestbuddy@gmail.com or call +1 (916)540-9533

*Courtesy Post* Currently in North Park. Gemma was abandoned and picked up. She is spayed. We believe she is about 1.5-year-old. She is good with dogs and people. I have not seen her around cats or kids but she is such a calm, sweet girl that I don’t predict any problems. She will eat anything in front of her and loves to chew on toys and lounge on laps. She is about 35 pounds. If interested in meeting this sweet girl please message or call Sarah at (925)337-3584 or email at sfletcher217@gmail.comMarch 8, 2026, 8:45 pm

Story
Ziggy is a 5-year-old, 67-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback-mix dog who is loyal, affectionate, and cuddly with his people. He enjoys sniffing adventures, running in secure spaces, and spending time with those he trusts.Ziggy needs an experienced home that understands canine fear and reactivity and can provide a calm, structured environment. He is sensitive to unfamiliar people approaching or moving unpredictably, as well as children playing, scooters, and bicycles. He would do best in an adult-only home with secure outdoor space and an adopter committed to careful management and professional behavioral support.Important: He requires thoughtful safety management and is not suited to an inexperienced adopter or a home where frequent interactions with unfamiliar people are expected. Additional behavioral history will be provided openly to those with serious inquiries.

Story
Charlie is a 6 year old mix between a Rhodesian Ridgeback, Shar-Pei and Pit, she loves to be in the company of people, she love attention and to be pet. She is extremely smart is treat motivated, meaning she can be trained very easily. She sleeps most of the day on her bed, but loves walks around the neighborhood, playing with her squeeker toys, hikes, the beach and playing fetch at the park. Charlie would thrive with an active owner who loves the outdoors and car rides. She also loves playing with other dogs. Charlie stays up-to-date with her veterinary checkups and vaccinations, but also suffers from skin allergy reactions to certain foods. As a result she takes a pill every morning to help counter-act the side effects of her allergies, if left untreated for even a day she will develop itchy bumps on her skin and ear infections. She also can be uneasy around younger children (5-12 yo) as she seems to have a slight distrust towards them.
