Victor arrived at Santa Barbara County Animal Services as a stray, and sadly, no one came to claim this sweet senior boy. We welcomed him as a Frosted Face on July 17th. At an estimated 14 years old and just 12 pounds, Victor may be a senior, but don’t let his age fool you - meeting new dogs seems to bring out his youthful spirit! He happily wags his tail and even does his adorable little “run” after new friends for a good sniff.

Victor recently went on a family vacation to Wisconsin with the founders of FFF and was an amazing travel companion. His calm, easygoing nature made him a natural for backpack-carrier adventures and airplane rides. He also enjoyed parks, outdoor concerts, movie nights, Dairy Queen, and even a day at the lake!

Victor is:
🐶 Great with other dogs
🐱 Good with cats
🏡 Potty-trained
🤫 Quiet and easygoing
✈️ An excellent travel buddy
🌊 Ready for adventures like dog beach
🐾 A slow-moving senior who can be safely monitored off-leash in appropriate areas

Victor is the kind of dog who makes everything feel a little sweeter. He doesn’t need a marathon runner or a busy household - just someone who will appreciate his gentle spirit, include him in life’s little adventures, and give this deserving senior the loving retirement he deserves.

Could Victor be your perfect little companion?

On July 28th, Joanna fulfilled her promise to Frosted Face Llama.

She shared,
"Our time with Llama was full of love, sass, playfulness, and cuddles. She was our lovely little lady who was THE dog boss! She made sure big dogs mined their manners around our little pack and kept her bonded pair Sapo safe. Other than cuddles on the couch her favorite place was fiesta island. We love you Llama, thank you for allowing us into your heart and being the perfect new member of our family. We will miss you. RIP my little lady."

Family: Joanna Rivera & Tony Lucas
Fan: Jeanette Valdez
Facts: Llama was 16 years old, and was rescued from Coachella Valley Shelter on May 9th, 2023.

What a great morning on the trails! Our amazing volunteers helped us get 30 Frosted Faces out for a hike at Wellfield Park. The dogs enjoyed fresh air, exercise, and plenty of one-on-one love.

Thank you to everyone who spent their Sunday morning making it such a special one for our seniors!

Loki was surrendered to the San Diego Humane Society when his family moved and could no longer keep him. Shelter staff described him as friendly, easy to handle, and social. According to his previous family, Loki has lived successfully with other cats, dogs, and children.

We welcomed Loki as a Frosted Feline on June 30th. At 13 years old and 12.5 pounds, this handsome senior is affectionate and enjoys being petted. He's also comfortable being picked up and held. Loki likes to hang out in the cat tree!

On July 13th, we fulfilled our promise to Frosted Face River.

Soon after River was surrendered to Baldwin by her family, we welcomed her as a Frosted Feline on June 30th. Her labwork showed that she was severely anemic at 15% and had signs of a URI where she was not thriving. The doctors suspected a serious disease process going on, and it was apparent to all that River was suffering and needed a dignified passing. Sometimes, that is all that we can do as part of our rescue efforts and we are here for it.

Fly high, River. ❤

Family: Frosted Faces Foundation
Facts: River was 15 years old, and was transferred from Baldwin Park Shelter on June 29th, 2026.

Brownie came to us from Long Beach Animal Care after being seized as part of a cruelty investigation. On June 13th, we welcomed him as a Frosted Face with a brighter future where he will only be treated with love. Brownie is 12 years old and weighs 15 pounds.

Brownie went on a three-week Frosted Fling to enjoy lots of love and care in the comfort of a home while we learned more about him. With a little help from his foster mom, Brownie shares:

"My foster mom says I've been such a good boy. Here's what I have taught her about me and what I want my future family to know:
* I can use a doggie door and take myself out to potty. I do get reminded sometimes that I should go out. No problem.
* I like to be near my person. I sleep under the covers with my foster mom. I tried sleeping in my crate but... I still enjoy going in the crate during the day on my own.
* I'm a good walker on a leash. I don't need to walk far.
* I'm a little nervous in the car, but I settle in after a few miles. I've been riding as copilot in a pet seat using a hooked strap attached to the pet seat.
* I love to eat. My foster mom feeds me wet food with water added for breakfast and dinner. She gives me a couple of small snacks in between.
* I enjoy going on outings! I walked at Lindo Lake Park and rode in a stroller when I get tired. I also went to an outdoor restaurant for lunch. I stayed in my stroller and took a nap.
* I've been around many small dogs - no problem!

Well, that's me, Brownie the love bug!"

Betsy Ross entered Inland Valley Humane Society & S.P.C.A. as a stray, and sadly, she wasn't claimed. The shelter reached out for a safe exit for this little girl, and we welcomed her as a Frosted Face on July 3rd. With her arrival just before Independence Day, "Betsy Ross" felt like the perfect name!

Estimated to be 11 years old and weighing just over 8 pounds, Betsy Ross is as sweet as can be. She is currently on a two-week Frosted Fling, so we can learn more about her in a home setting.

We received a great first update from her mom:

"Betsy was very good n the ride home, and she fell sound asleep. She spent the rest of the day exploring while my other dogs followed her around. Betsy quickly picked up where to go to be let outside to go potty and where the water bowl is. She also decided which dog beg she liked best.

Betsy is understandably cautious, but after only one day here, she is starting to become part of the pack!"

Stay tuned for more updates from Betsy's foster family!

Little 12-year-old Pepe was initially entrusted to our care temporarily after his mom went to a rehabilitation center following surgery. Sadly, her recovery didn’t go as planned, and she was no longer able to live independently. Since becoming a Frosted Face in March, Pepe has been loved by two wonderful foster families, who have helped us learn so much about his personality and what kind of home will help him thrive.

And the verdict? Pepe is an affectionate, easygoing little companion who simply wants to be by your side.

Pepe is a perfect lap dog who loves being held, cuddled, and showered with kisses. He enjoys cozy naps on the couch, sleeping in bed with his foster parents, sunbathing, and leisurely neighborhood walks. His tail is almost always wagging!

He’s also the ultimate little sidekick. Whether you’re working from home, doing housework, gardening, relaxing by the pool, or heading out for an adventure, Pepe is happy just to be included. His foster family takes him everywhere - from breakfast outings and trips to the park to camping and visits with friends and family. He’s also perfectly content to snooze while his foster parents are at work, then happily perks up for mealtime and his favorite watermelon treats.

Pepe is friendly and trusting and will happily let anyone hold him or give him affection. He responds well to his name and comes when called. He has even enjoyed bath time and lounging in the pool with his foster mom!

Pepe lived with another small dog for many years and could be happy as your one-and-only or with a respectful canine companion. He has also done wonderfully with children, including energetic 4- and 6-year-olds who visited his first foster home.

If you’re looking for a devoted little companion who will happily follow you through your day, curl up beside you for a nap, and make you smile with his endlessly wagging tail, Pepe may be the one for you!
