Story
Coax and Jameson are six-year-old Aussie/Husky mix brothers, 65 lbs each, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. They were raised from an accidental litter and need a new home after their family moved and downsized following the arrival of a newborn. Outdoors They're smart, and eager to please; indoors They're mellow, affectionate, and independent. Coax is the more expressive sibling, while Jameson is gentle and quiet. Their last vet visit was 08/01/2025. They're healthy, playful companions looking for an active home. It is with a heavy heart that I need to rehome them. Please reach out if you have the space for them. Thank you.

Story
Astro is a happy, handsome boy with a gorgeous black-and-white coat, a smile that lights up the room, and the kind of loyalty you dream about. At around 1–2 years old, he’s in that perfect sweet spot: playful, curious, and full of love to give! He’s the kind of dog who will follow you around like your shadow, ready to join in on adventures, car rides, or cozy naps on the couch. Astro is super smart and loves learning new things — especially when treats are involved! Whether it’s fetch in the yard or a puzzle toy in the living room, this boy loves fun and engagement. Astro would do best in a home where he can get lots of attention, playtime, and a bit of structure to help him keep shining. He’s already got a great start and just needs someone who’s ready to keep building that bond with him. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and even bigger potential, Astro’s your guy! 💫

Story
Ruben is a very beautiful 1 1/2 year old who looks like an Australian Shepherd/ maybe Border Collie blend. He’s full grown at about 45 pounds He’s definitely a super attractive dog in many ways. Everybody loves Aussie shepherds and for good reason. Aussies are smart, gentle, affectionate, good looking, and make wonderful family dogs. He’s athletic, attentive, fun, and funny. Ruben is housebroken and crate trained, and he’s wonderful with other dogs and has been around goats and horses and donkeys and even chickens. He’s not a barker and it’s not a big shedder, and he’s also doesn’t wander off or ever jump fences or dig in the garden. Ruben has a wonderful pure white shimmering silky soft coat with a few dark speckles and blackish silvery ears — he is really one handsome fellow! Although Ruben is playful and athletic, he is not at all hyper - he's just a lot of fun, and he's gentle and mellow - he'd never think of nipping or biting anyone. Of course, he’s neutered and up-to-date on all his shots, and I have his med records for his new forever family. I am a firm believer is having potential adopters take a pup home for a “sleepover” to see how your family, your other pets, and your new best buddy all get along. We always take our rascals back if it isn’t a good fit. To meet this beautiful pupper and the rest of my foster pups (and maybe even have a sleepover), pls email findabestbuddy@gmail.com or call 858-602-2061

Story
When Abner's mom passed away, she left behind many dogs that ended up at Bonita Shelter. They were all seniors, and we were able to rescue 6 of them! Abner is 11 years old and weighs 69 lbs. Isn't he handsome? After receiving the medical care he needed, including a neuter, dental care, and mass removal, Abner recovered in the comfort of a foster home during a two-week Frosted Fling. His foster mom reports: "Abner, aka Fluffernutter, is such a quiet, sweet floof! He likes other animals, pretty much ignores my kitty, and is happy to meet all my neighbor dogs He is food motivated and takes treats very gently Abner likes kids! Lots of hugs, squeals, and kisses when he met my neighbor's girls. He is fully house-trained. He tried marking the first day, but after that was completely fine and can go hours without a trip outside. He sleeps through the night and exhibits no separation anxiety at all. He doesn't seem to be a fan of stairs, other than the few to get in my home. He trotted up and down a full flight outdoors at the park, but won't do the stairs in my home. He needs a lift to get in the car. Abner is a quiet pup. I only heard him bark once, and that was at the painters across the street. He likes his walks and does a little happy prance when he sees the leash. I've walked him about a mile, and he was fine. Abner likes to snuggle on the floor, but doesn't get up on furniture. He's slow to show his playful side, but it's adorable -(see video)! He was with me for over a week before he picked up a toy and really sought attention. Such a cutie pie!" To meet all-around good boy Abner, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org
