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.

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 2wks

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.

Ludo

Akita Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Male, 15 yrs

Ramona, CA

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. To meet Ludo, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Colter is a little over a year and a half old and has a very sweet, sensitive personality. He bonds deeply once he feels safe, but he can be uneasy around men based on my experience and needs slow, patient introductions. Colter does need continued training and confidence-building, and he is currently learning how to appropriately play with other dogs. He has a sensitive stomach and has only done well on fish-based food (currently Farmer’s Dog Digestive Health). Colter would do best in a calm, structured home without cats, as he doesn’t do well with them, and unfortunately he hasn’t been a good match with my senior dog. This decision is incredibly hard because I would love to keep him, but I want what’s best for Colter and believe he deserves a home that can fully support his needs and help him thrive.
