Story
The Good: Kasper was a rescue dog that I adopted over a year ago. His release papers state that he is approximately 9 years old (their guess). However, his dog trainer (Taylor Made Working Dogs) stated approximately 3 but I've had him for nearly 2 years after training so maybe he's 5 years old now. Kasper is absolutely stunning to look at and in great health. He has done a 6-week board and train program, and is house-trained, will walk at your heel, come to you when called and sits on command. His demeanor is calm and quiet. He doesn't wander around or approach others. The Bad: Kasper is also a resource guarder. Pretty much anything that he deems valuable (including people) may cause him to bite or snap in defense. Sadly, because I have tenants who rent rooms in my house, I'm not able to provide the ideal environment for him to thrive. Additionally, while he may be able to enteract with large well-behaved dogs, he doesn't do well with small dogs.

Story
*This is a courtesy listing.* Meet CeeCee! CeeCee is a 14-year-old Akita that needs a loving new home because both of her owners passed away. Their neighbor and good friend has been taking care of Cee Cee and the house for the past two years while the estate settles. It is finally on the verge of being settled, and Cee Cee's caregiver is becoming increasing worried about being able to place her. Might you be willing to give this sweet, gentle girl a home for her golden years? What we know about Cee Cee: * Very calm when meeting people * Good with children - friendly and accepting of pets * House-trained; accustomed to having access to yard through doggie door * Enjoys walks around the neighborhood - watch videos to see how nicely she walks on leash! * Well-behaved when in her home alone * Accepts food and treats gently * Likes being brushed Cee Cee's caregiver shares: "She is very playful like a puppy, especially when I grab the leash. She is the best walker ever! Our walks go from 1/2 mile to 1 1/2 miles, and she could go further. I wish my dogs walked like her!" To meet beautiful Cee Cee or to learn more about her, please email Barry at: SoCal57@yahoo.com *Frosted Faces Foundation has not assessed this dog medically or behaviorally.*

Story
Dorian is looking for his forever home!! Dorian was pulled from the shelter after spending 680 long days - nearly 2 years in LAs shelter system. Despite spending 2 years in an outdoor concrete kennel, with minimal human interaction, he held on to hope and has been the most resilient boy. Most dogs don’t last that long in high kill shelters, but Dorian was a staff favorite. He did well with volunteers who brought him out for play groups and they advocated for him to keep him alive. But still somehow no one wanted to adopt him. We saw a post about him and immediately knew we had to get this boy of that environment and into a foster home. Since then we have all fallen in love! We now understand why he was a staff favorite. He's the silliest Akita Inu mix, and he's as loyal and loving as they come. He is extremely handsome and the sweetest, most easy going guy. Dorian is crate trained, potty trained, and knows several commands. He can be nervous around strangers, but once he knows you, he loves you for life! Dorian is dog friendly, and he is an absolute goofball when he plays. Dorian loves to go for walks (cue the happy hops) and crash for a nap next to his person. He would be fantastic with a person with Akita experience or someone who understands/has researched the breed. Dorian is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and currently on flea tick and heartworm medication. Overall. he's in good health, and we believe he is around 6-7 years old and weighs 80 lbs. We recently did his DNA test with Embark, and he is an Akita Inu, American Akita, Pittie mix. If you’d like to see videos of Dorian you can visit the instagram page @fenwayfluff and see the story highlight called “Dorian”. He is currently being fostered in San DiegO

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.COURTESY POST: Meet Ember! Meet Ember, a vibrant 2-year-old Siberian Husky who is searching for her forever home! Just a few months ago, Ember was adopted from the San Diego Humane Society by a loving family who had previously welcomed another Siberian Husky named Willow into their lives. While Willow, now 6, has been a cherished member of the family, they believe Ember could be the perfect partner for her after the heart-wrenching loss of their previous pup. However, as time has passed, it has become clear that, despite their best efforts, Ember's energetic and spirited nature simply doesn't mesh with Willow's more laid-back personality. Though the two dogs enjoy each other’s company during outdoor playdates, the dynamics of home life have proved to be challenging. The family has gone above and beyond in trying to find a harmonious balance, enrolling Ember and Willow in training and working to establish structure. However, as senior citizens, they find themselves unable to meet Ember's high energy and exercise needs. It’s commendable that they have made the decision to prioritize Ember's well-being by seeking a more active family. I’ve personally witnessed their dedication and the lengths they have gone to help Ember adjust, and it’s clear that this decision comes from a place of love and responsibility. Ember is a true gem of a dog—sweet, playful, loves to swim and incredibly intelligent. She thrives on human interaction, loves children, and has shown herself to be a loyal and adaptable companion. Ember is not only potty trained and house trained, but she has also completed several months of professional training, mastering her commands with ease. Her gentle demeanor means she won’t destroy your belongings or chew on furniture, making her the perfect buddy for a cozy Netflix night as much as for adventurous outings. With her striking hazel eyes and soft fur, Ember's beauty is sure to capture the hearts of anyone who meets her. To ensure her continued success, we believe that Ember would thrive in a home where she can benefit from group dog walks and training classes that help channel her energy and maintain her obedience. She is healthy, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed, making her ready to start her new adventure with a loving family who understands the unique needs of her breed. If you live in Southern California, specifically in Escondido, San Diego County, or nearby areas, and have a secure yard along with another friendly dog, Ember could be the perfect addition to your family. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to welcome this wonderful dog into your life! If you're ready to embrace Ember's joyful spirit, visit tlck9rescue.org to apply for adoption. Your heart and home will never be the same again!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 9:16 pm
