Story

Kito reminds us of those popular dog toys, the Squishmallow's. No one told him he was an Akita and is supposed to be stoic, protective and scary. He is ALL wiggles, smiles and LOVES his volunteers and rescue teams. The world outside is still kind of scary but with each event hes getting better and better. Before he would frantically spin the entire walk, but now he will patiantly sit on the grass at our Point Loma event or on a Pack Walk. True to any large dog, he doesn't know hes massive and anyone sitting on the grass is bound to have a Kito as a lap warmer. He loves hugs, brushes and being told how darn good looking he is. He is quite large, so he will need someone strong and well grounded to walk him in the event something spooks him unexpectedly. Although he's never met a person he didn't like, due to size, we are saying no kids under the age of 15, he's just WAY too goofy and tall. Because of my Flight Risk I cannot be left unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures and my new family must be aware of open doors and windows. No off leash activites for life in unfenced areas. I need to stay safe.To adopt: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/37765/genericTo foster: https://petstablished.com/foster_form/37764/genericEmail: awayhomefordogs@gmail.com ##1305366##

Story

Simba has spent too long waiting for his forever family. 💔 This strong and spirited Akita-Husky mix is full of energy, loves his toys, and is happiest on long walks or playing with his human. He’s sweet, loyal, and ready for the right home. If you’re looking for a dog with personality and heart, Simba is waiting to meet you! 🐕 Adopt Simba: https://form.jotform.com/221926016430144 Full profile: Simba is a 6-8-year-old Akita-Husky mix with the personality of an Akita and the heart of a lion. He’s playful, sweet, and full of energy but needs a confident and strong adopter who understands his needs. 💪 Strength & Training: Simba is powerful and can pull when excited, so he needs someone physically capable of managing his strength. He’s learning commands like sit, down, paw, and “potty” and thrives with structure. A harness might help with his pulling. 🐾 Energy & Personality: Simba is not always a couch potato! He loves long walks (2+ miles is no problem), playing with his toys, and getting plenty of attention. He’s affectionate and cuddly but always ready for adventure. 🏡 Home Needs: Simba would do best in a home without small children due to his strength and energy. He’s good with other dogs, especially more timid ones, but does best with boundaries around toys and space. He’s also quite the counter-surfer, so keeping things out of reach is key! 🐕 Health: Simba has a thyroid condition that is managed with treatment, giving him renewed energy and playfulness. Simba has had a lot of love and care from his foster, but he’s ready to find his forever home. If you’re looking for a strong, loyal, and playful companion, Simba could be your perfect match. 💙 Ready to meet Simba? Apply to adopt him and give this big-hearted boy the home he deserves. 📌 Share to help Simba find his forever home Currently being cared in Southern California, but can be transported up to northern states, such as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and anywhere within the US continental, if a great suitable family is willing to adopt him.

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

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 Age: 3yrs 7mths 1wks

Ludo came into our care after the passing of his beloved mom. He is approximately 15 years old and weighs about 70 lbs.

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. We’ll continue to share more about Ludo as he settles in. Stay tuned for updates on this sweet boy! To meet this handsome boy, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org

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

I bought Wolfie from a neighbor she is 2 years old now. I am looking for someone that has the time energy and money to take care of her. To be able to take her out on long walks, bathe her and keep her without fleas. She is very playful and friendly. Training would be a plus for her. We love her, our situation has changed and with our young baby we could no longer afford the proper care and treatment she deserves.

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

A stunning spayed female, weighing about 68 lbs, with gorgeous orange-and-brown coloring and unforgettable husky-style raccoon eyes. She is a true sweetheart who loves people and is eager to connect. Shes incredibly intelligent; she benefits from a patient, consistent training approach that lets her process at her own pace. Once something clicks, shes got it. Axel has slightly crossed eyes and limited distance vision, which gives her a unique perspective on the world and adds to her charm. Because of this, she tends to do best in environments where communication is clear and calm. In a quieter setting, Axel really blossoms and gains confidence. She enjoys activity but also really enjoys lying around and chewing on a bone or chew toy. She is food-motivated (which makes training fun!) and bonds strongly with her people. Shes looking for an adopter with dog experience who wants a loyal companion with personality, and affection. Crate trained and rattlesnake avoidance training.
