Story
WE ARE COURTESY POSTING THIS DOG FOR THE MORENO VALLEY ANIMAL SHELTER TO HELP THEM FIND A HOME. The shelter is severely overcrowded and desperately needs help finding adopters.

We are helping get the word out about their immediate need. Please save this deserving pooch and clear a kennel for another dog in need today! This beautiful dog is located in the Moreno Valley shelter. Shelter needs to clear the kennels. They are over capacity, and all available dogs are in urgent need.

This is Miko, he is 10 years old. He absolutely loves humans and will smother you in love. He is stubborn but that comes with the territory of his breed. We got him from the humane society and he has adapted to home life very well. Unfortunately due to my health I have to rehome this sweet boy as soon as possible. I hope you become his new owner!

Story
How Kai arrived: Kai was brought in by his previous owner on January 3, 2026. Why Kai could be the one for you:Meet Kai, a sweet, affectionate pup with a big heart and lots of potential! Kai is playful, intelligent, and an eager learner who benefits from structure and consistency. In a previous home, he has done wonderfully with children and another dog, showing that he can build positive relationships when given the right introductions and guidance. Like many dogs, Kai can feel unsure around unfamiliar dogs, and he's currently working on his confidence and calm responses in those situations. With supportive adopters who are willing to continue positive reinforcement training and provide thoughtful management, Kai has all the potential to thrive. His eagerness to please, loving nature and past success in a multi-dog home make him a truly special companion! At SDHS:Kai has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Kai is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: Seal Secondary Color: White Weight: 91.6 Age: 1yrs 8mths 2wks

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by their previous owner on June 23, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Maddie is a sweet, sensitive gal in search of a loving new home! Maddie is a bit shy initially, but has made great progress with positive reinforcement training. Once she feels safe, her affectionate personality shines through and she seeks out gentle affection like chest rubs and back pets. She is also recovering from a procedure where she had one of her eyes removed, and with time she will heal and be used to her life with only one eye. Maddie has a positive history with other dogs and has enjoyed playdates while in care. Due to her shy nature, she would do best in a home where any children are 12 years and older and can respect her boundaries. She will thrive with continued positive reinforcement training and a quiet, understanding home that allows her time to build trust and confidence. With patience and consistency, she will reward her adopter with loving affection and loyalty. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this sweet soul, come meet Maddie today! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. This pet is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: Tan Weight: 61.1875 Age: 3yrs 8mths 3wks

Story
Ludo came into our care after the passing of his beloved mom. 15 years young and weighing 70 pounds, Ludo is a sweet, friendly, fun-loving senior with so much love left to give. According to his mom’s sister, Ludo was “deeply, deeply loved” and spent his life peacefully coexisting with two cats. Despite his age, he still lights up at walk time, enjoys playing with toys, and gets the most endearing, puppy-like zoomies when he’s excited. One of our volunteers recently treated Ludo to a special solo adventure, and he was all in! He hopped right into the car, ready to go, and happily explored Old Poway Park before stopping for a well-earned pup cup at a local coffee shop. After a day full of sniffs, wags, and treats, Ludo cozied up for a nap on the ride back to FFF. Ludo is a loving, joyful senior who would make a wonderful companion for someone looking to share leisurely adventures and lots of love with a truly special dog. Ludo recently went to live in a foster home, and we are looking forward to learning what he is like in a home setting. Check back soon for an update from his foster family! To meet Ludo, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org
