Story
Little Denise entered the San Diego Humane Society as a stray, and sadly, she wasn't claimed. We welcomed her as a Frosted Face on November 24th. Denise is estimated to be 10 years old and weighs 6 lbs. She loves to cuddle, sit in laps, and be held. Denise went on a two-week Frosted Fling, spending time in the comfort of a home where we can learn more about her while she soaks up lots of love and care. Her foster family has decided to extend Denise's visit and shared this great update: "Denise is a cuddly little thing. She has adjusted so well to our home. She sleeps through the night without a peep in bed with me and my husband! She enjoys short walks outside, as well as exploring our dog park. We haven’t noticed any separation anxiety. Today, we went on an outing to a coffee shop and some shopping in Carlsbad! Denise hung out in her bag and in my lap without a peep. She no longer gets anxious in the car and rides in her bag just fine. This sweet lady has been so adored by everyone she meets! Our friends' kids just love holding her!" To meet adorable Denise, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org

Story
Hash was adopted when he was 3 months old and is now 4 years old. He’s a sweet, friendly, playful boy who loves people and brings a lot of joy to everyone he meets. He enjoys playtime, attention, and being part of the action—whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood, a fun outing, or just hanging out with his humans. As our family has grown, our routines and available time have changed in ways we didn’t expect. This has been a difficult decision, and we’re only considering rehoming because we truly believe Hash deserves a home that can give him more consistent exercise, enrichment, and adventure than we’re able to provide right now. We want to find him a loving home where he can get plenty of daily playtime, regular walks, and opportunities to go out and explore. Our priority is finding the right match so he can thrive and continue being the happy, affectionate companion he is. Adoption fee covers his neuter and vaccinations.

Story
Meet Orion! DOB: October 2022Weight: 18 lbsDisposition: Coy, Low-key, Observant Heavily matted and dirty when found, this poor boy had to be so uncomfortable with his knotted coat pulling at his skin. He was hesitant to be handled by people as there were probably few he could trust in his past. We took him to the groomer after allowing him to get settled in for a few days and this little guy is like a new man! He's enjoying pets and a compliant little guy.History: Exposed to parvo in the shelter and as a result at risk of euthanasia.
