Story
How this pet arrived:Kayden was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on October 11, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Kayden is a sweet, sophisticated lady who thrives in a quiet, calm home and appreciates the luxury of a soft, cozy bed. She takes her time settling into new spaces, but once she feels safe, her gentle nature really shines-she'll softly lean in and rest her head on you, asking for those just-right scritches. On walks, Kayden carries herself with a graceful little trot, like she's showing off her own personal runway style. She also has a wonderfully goofy side-when she finds a patch of grass or a small hill, she'll flop onto her back and do her signature "shimmy shimmy," wiggling back and forth in the silliest, most entertaining way. Kayden is looking for a peaceful home without young children and no other small animals, where she can truly relax. She can feel unsure during medical visits, so a family committed to a Fear Free veterinarian will help her stay comfortable and confident. If you're ready for a calm companion with a dash of hilarious charm, bring a leash and collar when you come to adopt Kayden.

Story
Bella Bagel was surrendered by her owner for unknown reasons to Lancaster Shelter. Being left there was understandably confusing and scary for this gentle soul, and she didn’t show her true self when potential adopters walked by her kennel. On February 10th, we happily welcomed Bella as a Frosted Face. She is 12 years old and weighs 66 lbs. Since then, Bella has enjoyed two Frosted Flings, giving her the opportunity to relax, settle into a home environment, and show us her true personality. Although each home was different — one had children, both had smaller dogs, and one even had a cat — the outcome was the same: Bella is amazing and so deserving of a loving forever home. Here's the scoop from her most recent foster home: "Bella is a very good, very smart girl. She knows my dogs get post-eyedrop treats, so she always hangs around in the hopes that she'll get one too - which of course, she does, even though she doesn't get eye drops. I learned that she knows the commands "drop it", "sit", and "stay, which sure come in handy when I'm feeding the other dogs. Bella has lots of love and loyalty to give. She's well- behaved, perfectly house-trained and quiet! She's healthy and takes no meds. Bella wants to be someone's best pal. Maybe yours?" Her foster mom reports: "If there were an “easy button” for dogs, Bella might be it! She meshed well with our resident animals (a cat and a small very senior dog), had no separation anxiety, and was fine with full freedom in the house while I was at work all day. Bella knows her name as well as some commands, including "sit" and "shake." Bella fully embraced family life, slept in bed every night with my daughter on a 9pm–7am schedule, came with me to sports practice, and had a slumber party with some neighborhood tweens. Bella became a canine celebrity amongst the neighborhood kids. She loves her smelling tours (aka walks) and can go the distance if you want a longer walk, but she’s just as happy meandering around the neighborhood taking in all the smells. Other dogs do excite her a bit on leash, but she’s manageable. I suspect she just wants to play since our resident animals are a bit on the fuddy-duddy side! Bella tried to engage our cat in play daily, but the cat was uninterested. When the cat told Bella to back off, she obliged. Bella has been a wonderfully easy, sweet foster. I don't want to say she's perfect, but... she's perfect! We can’t wait for you to meet her." To meet Bella, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org

MEET YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND: BROWNIE! THE KING OF CUDDLES SEEKS HIS FOREVER THRONE **Age:** A sprightly 3 years young **Location:** Currently enjoying royal treatment in his foster in south Riverside County (think Hemet/Menifee area) BROWNIE'S ROYAL RÉSUMÉ: - **Professional Snuggler** with years of experience warming laps and hearts - **Certified House-Training Expert** - no accidents in this kingdom! - **Skilled Trampoline/Rebounder Enthusiast** who brings joy with every bounce - **Bamboo Stick Connoisseur** with discerning taste in chew toys - **Master of "Sit"** (other tricks pending with the right teacher!) BROWNIE'S PERFECT CASTLE WOULD INCLUDE: - Subjects who understand he considers himself royalty (he prefers to be top dog!) - A peaceful realm where he can receive the adoration he deserves - Fellow canine companions who respect his leadership (neutral or submissive dogs only) - Human children welcome - he's grown up with little ones! - Someone that is home quite a bit or will take him along on adventures. ROYAL MAINTENANCE: - This King wants to be with you always. He does suffer from some separation anxiety, so a home willing to work with behavioral meds to lesson his fear, that has other submissive dogs to keep him company, or is home a lot is ideal. - Already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped - Ready to move in and claim your heart immediately! A NOTE FROM HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS: "I may think I'm the king of the castle, but I promise to be your most loyal subject. I'll trade unlimited snuggles for your love and attention. While I do get a bit jealous when other dogs steal my spotlight, I'm all about sharing my love with human family members of all ages. Let me show you how much joy a bouncing, cuddling, bamboo-loving pup can bring to your home!" **To schedule a royal audience with Brownie, fill out an application**May 13, 2026, 10:43 pm

Story
This is Darlene. You don’t adopt Darlene. Darlene adopts you then critiques your life choices from the couch. In truth she is a professional cuddler, part-time zoomie champion, and a full-time good girl. She is fantastic with other dogs and her currently bestie in her foster home is another female shar pei...yep she is that good of a girl! Darlene is great with kids and in fact lived with kiddo's in her previous home. This girl is like most shar pei and fastidiously clean and would never even consider having an accident in the house. Her current hobbies include: -Following you to the bathroom (safety first) -Accepting snacks that she did not earn -Doorbell alarm system operator -Toy de-stuffing (surgery without a license) Darlene is the girl that doesn't care if you're rich, poor, tall, short, or binge-watch true crime every night - if you will love her, she is yours forever. She has been waiting for someone to pick her. Not because she is broken-just because she hasn't met YOU yet. If you think you might belong together. She is patiently waiting in the Riverside, CA area ...practicing her tail wags. Darlene is vaccinated, microchipped, spayed and absolutely perfect shar pei eyesMarch 7, 2026, 1:57 pm
