Rally has been with FFF since mid-November and is still looking for a very special family to call his own. He has been living with his Foster Family since late March but we are eager to find him the perfect match. Here’s an update:

I can't walk, but I love to ‘go’ on walks in a stroller or in a sling. I'm just like other dogs and like to choose my special place to use the bathroom. My Foster mom takes me on p*e and p**p walks and I'm excellent on taking care of my business outside.

After getting used to my Foster family, I hardly ever bark and I like my dog brother. I eat well, takes my medication without any hassle and sleep through the night in my bed next to my foster mom.

I am totally fine with being home by myself, but love to come along if possible.

I am working on my standing and taking a few steps here and there! I can’t walk because I was most likely hit by a car before I was rescued. Frosted Faces has helped me with physical therapy and massage, but being in a home is what really helped me start to be a little mobile again. It just took some love!

I'm very sweet and adorable!

Family:
🐾 I am looking for a patient family that wants to bring a sweet, loving, soft, mentally sharp 14-year old boy into their home
🐾 I do need assistance being held up to go to the bathroom, so someone in the household would need to be comfortable bending over or crouching down to hold me up
🐾 I may do well in a home that has more than one family member - this way you can take turns taking me out and giving me affection/attention

Random fun facts:
🐾 I am a great work from home buddy - love to work with you either in a sling or sitting right next to you in my bed
🐾 Gives the best nighttime snuggles on the couch
🐾 I do well with kids!
🐾 I love to be loved, and there’s no better feeling!”

Are you the special family Rally needs?

Happy Foster Fail Friday!🎉

When Crouton’s owner passed away, he left behind 10 dogs in need of new homes. Four were adopted directly from the shelter, and we welcomed Crouton and the five others as Frosted Faces on May 5th. At 11 years old, Crouton is a sweet, easygoing boy who fit right into the Peters’ home when they opened their hearts to foster him. Earlier this month, Jessica & Chris made it official - Crouton is theirs forever! 💛🐾

Foster Fail Friday Continues! 🎉

Russet’s story began when he and six other dogs were abandoned after their owners were evicted. They were brought to the shelter, and on July 29th, Russet and his two senior siblings, Revlon and Milani, became Frosted Faces. At just 6.5 lbs, this 8-year-old boy quickly proved he was the perfect size for snuggling.

On August 6th, Russet headed out on a Frosted Fling with Melody. In true Foster Fail fashion, it didn’t take long for her to realize he was already home. Just 13 days later, on August 19th, she made it official: Russet is family forever! 🐾💛

Now all Russet needs is a fan to help contribute to ongoing costs of care. If you're up for the task, sign up here: https://frostedfacesfoundation.org/fans

Young 4-year-old Romel came to Frosted Faces Foundation back in January. As one of our Forget Me Nots and Molly & Me dogs, Romel got a much-deserved break from the kennel life and spent time in a loving home with an amazing Fling Family, Kelle and Kory Miller, in March. In June, Romel was chosen to go on another Fling with Kelley Cichon, and she has agreed to Foster him until adoption. Kelly recently sent us an update about how Romel has been doing in her home.

Kelley shared, “Romel is a smart, sweet boy who loves hiking and neighborhood strolls. He likes to sniff and explore on slow walks and takes long naps at your feet. He loves attention and scratches, and he is affectionate and super cuddly! He loves to be close and leans his whole body onto you when he wants attention and love.

He loves his crate and happily naps there when left alone. Outside, he’s great on leash and enjoys exploring the world at a relaxed pace. He’s a really sweet dog, and he gets very attached to his person!

Romel is very food-motivated (pumpkin is a favorite snack) and knows several commands like sit, shake, stay, place, and leave it. He’s a fast learner who thrives with consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement.

Romel has worked hard on his manners and made great progress! He used to react when approached too quickly, but now he is much calmer. He still guards his home and needs continued guidance in that area, so he’s looking for an adopter who can provide structure and keep up with his training.

With the right person, Romel will be the most loyal and loving companion. A true shadow dog who bonds deeply with his human.”

Rootbeer has found his Forever Family! 🍻💛

Rootbeer’s story with us goes back to 2022, when he was rescued from San Diego Humane Society and quickly became a Frosted favorite with his playful spirit and beloved stuffies. After a Fling that turned into forever, he enjoyed two wonderful years in a loving home. When his adopters had to move across the country last summer and couldn’t take him, Rootbeer came back to us and we promised to find him a family who would love him just as much.

Now, at 12 years old, Rootbeer has exactly that! Christine welcomed him home a couple of weeks ago, and he wasted no time making himself right at home with his stuffies and snuggles. We are so happy this silly, sweet boy has landed where he belongs: cherished and adored. 🐾🧸

Crystal Chorus has found her Family! ✨💛

Twelve-year-old Crystal Chorus was entrusted to us through the Final Wish Program after her dad passed away. She had spent her life as a beloved companion, and when she arrived in November 2024, she carried that same gentle, loving spirit into her foster home. For months, Crystal waited patiently for a new forever family, showing everyone how sweet, independent, and snuggly she could be.

After nearly nine months of waiting, Crystal’s turn finally came: she has been adopted! Annie opened her heart and home, giving Crystal the forever love she’s been dreaming of. We couldn’t be happier that this little lap dog turned Frosted Face now has someone new to curl up with. 🐾💕

Ten-year-old Kyle came to Frosted Faces Foundation from the Inland Valley Humane Society S.P.C.A. on July 15th. After his quarantine period, Kyle jumped right into Frosted life at Frosted Faces Foundation by joining our Sunday hikes and even strutting his stuff in the San Diego Pride Parade!

Kyle was then chosen to go on a Frosted Fling with Elena Garcia so we could learn more about how he would do in a home setting. Elena quickly discovered what a wonderful companion he is, and we’re thrilled to share that she has officially adopted him!

Thank you, Elena, for giving this scruffy cutie his Forever Family!

We recently introduced you to Cactus Flower, a sweet little girl who was found not moving in a Good Samaritan’s backyard, covered in cactus spines. The Good Samaritan took her to the San Diego Human Society and we made her a Frosted Face a few months ago. She’s visually impaired with mature cataracts and bumps into things while mapping a new space but she doesn’t let it slow her down one bit.

Kate recently came to FFF looking for a small dog who is relatively calm and quiet and likes to cuddle. She was also interested in a dog that would get along with her mother’s dogs as well as her cat and she decided that Cactus Flower fit the bill!

Westley is a keeper!

Westley came to us from the Humane Society of Imperial County in May. Since he was a stray, we didn’t know much about his past, but what we did know is that this 10 lb., 9-year-old is an absolute sweetheart.

After arriving at Frosted Faces Frosted Faces Foundation, we quickly learned that Westley is friendly, good with other dogs, and walks nicely on a leash. He went on a weeklong Frosted Fling with Kelly Cavanaugh, who shared, “Westley is a dream. Easy going, potty trained, loves laps, cuddling, burrowing in a blanket, and sleeping in bed with you as well as under the covers. This little guy is so easy to love on.”

We are thrilled to share that Kelly has officially adopted Westley! Thank you so much, Kelly, for opening your home and heart to this sweet boy.

Facts: Westley is 9 years old and was rescued from Humane Society of Imperial County on May 16, 2025.

Nico is a sweet 10-year-old dog from Arizona who was diagnosed with a painful perineal hernia that made bowel movements difficult and caused ongoing discomfort. His devoted guardian—a part-time working student—faced over $3,000 in vet bills after multiple emergency visits and consultations. Despite applying for Care Credit and reaching out to several foundations, help was out of reach. Without a personal support network to share the burden and with the added strain of post-op care, the financial strain was difficult.

Still, Nico’s guardian never gave up. They reached out to Frosted Faces Foundation for help and were able to find a vet willing to perform the surgery at a reduced cost. We were honored to support Nico and his guardian and, thanks to the generosity of our community, we contributed $750 toward Nico’s care.

Nico made it through surgery with flying colors. His guardian shared: “Nico had a successful surgery yesterday, and I’m so happy and relieved to finally be able to have this procedure done! I want to express my gratitude for your help in helping Nico have a better quality of life. Thank you so much!”

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supports our mission and the Frosted Funding program. Your kindness helps pets like Nico—and the people who love them—find hope when it’s needed most. 🐾 ❤️
