On May 29th, we fulfilled our promise to Frosted Face Gertrude.

Gertrude entered Riverside Shelter as a stray, and it's heartbreaking to picture this delicate little girl out in the world by herself. Gertrude was not doing well at the shelter, so staff emailed asking us to rescue her by the end of the day on May 26th.

Upon rescue, we realized that Gertrude was not well. Despite having normal lab work, she had ulcerated mammary masses, but more significantly, she was struggling with CCD or something terribly wrong with her brain. She was not within herself, and while we tried to give her some time to be monitored and heal from a potential neurological event, she was was suffering. We made the hard decision to let her go, despite not being able to "fix" her as we so often have the privilege of doing.

Thank you to all the volunteer who shined their loving lights on sweet Gertrude so she knew she mattered.

VOLUNTEER OF THE WEEK
June 15th - June 21st

Bruce is the Volunteer of the Week!

Bruce shares, "After participating in a Frosted Faces Foundation Sunday hike and Open House, I knew that I had to be part of this incredible organization. I felt immediately welcome when I walked in the door for the first time. It was like joining a big family where everyone works together for the same mission to help the dogs. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for senior dogs, and I can't imagine a more rewarding way to spend my time now that I am retired."

Thank you, Bruce!

We welcomed Gracie as a Frosted Feline after her mom entered hospice care. The two spent all of Gracie's 11 years together. She weighs 12 pounds and is adjusting to many changes right now.

Would you please help us write her bio and give her a break from the shelter by giving her a 2-week Frosted Fling? She has lived here for over 90 days with no interest.

On May 11th, Melynie and Randy fulfilled their promise to Frosted Face Cocoa.

They shared,
"Cocoa crossed the rainbow bridge on Monday. She went into distress and ultimately had a cardiac arrest and passed at the ER in Carlsbad. VCA was very good and rushed her in. I was very impressed.

She was with me almost 4 years after I foster failed with her. She was rescued from Valley Center and Frosted Faces Foundation. She was thought to be 12 at the time but I think she was a bit more than that. I thank her fan(s) from Frosted Faces for helping pay for all her medical expenses. A wonderful organization that saves many, many pets. Thanks to all for the wonderful care she received from everyone. As she aged we dealt with the normal issues that older pets develop. I was so thankful for Frosted Faces and their care for her and all that are rescued.

She was a feisty chihuahua who like most would take on any dog of any size with no fear. She absolutely loved going in the car and the entire backseat was her happy place. With my electric car I was able to leave her on “dog mode” when I ran errands so she went with me constantly. We had lots of adventures and I loved being her mama for her last years.

Rest in paradise little Cocoa, I will miss you forever… 🌈🥰❤️"

Facts: Cocoa was 15 years old, and was rescued from Carlsbad Shelter on June 30th, 2022.

Yesterday, our volunteers helped 38 Frosted Faces hit the trails at Orosco Ridge!

These weekly hikes provide so much more than exercise—they offer valuable mental enrichment with new sights and smells, and quality one-on-one time with caring people. For many of our dogs, it's the highlight of their week.

We're so grateful to the volunteers who make these adventures possible and help our Frosted Faces stay active, engaged, and happy.

Fernwhisper is one of over 300 cats the San Diego Humane Society rescued from a massive hoarding situation in Julian. We welcomed him as a Frosted Face on May 15th. He is estimated to be 10 years old and weighs just under 9 lbs.

We will add more information about Fernwhisper as he settles in, and we get to know him better. Perhaps you could take him on a 2-week Frosted Fling to help us get better photos and learn more about him?

To meet Fernwhisper, please email:

Or, stop in any day between 10am-3pm!

When Neville became a Frosted Face, little was known about his past except that he had been found alone in a field. Today, he's known as Murray, and at nearly 14 years old, he's thriving in a loving home!

Murray's adopter says the beginning wasn't easy. After losing his canine brother, Murray developed severe separation anxiety. Nothing seemed to help until a friend asked his mom to temporarily foster a young female dog. The match was life-changing. Murray bonded with her immediately, his anxiety eased, and the foster pup became a permanent member of the family. Now he has a younger big sister who makes life happier for everyone.

These days, Murray loves chicken, insists on sampling whatever his mom is eating, and has become quite the lap dog. While he's slowed down with age, he still gets the occasional burst of energy and will sprint across a field just for fun!

His family has also learned that Murray's vision and hearing challenges were behind some of his early behaviors. With patience, understanding, and advocacy, he's blossomed into a beloved companion who makes his mom laugh every day.

"It's so much more gratifying than I ever imagined," she says. "I learned to meet Murray where he was, grew more patient, and eventually fell in love with the character he is."

Thank you to Murray's family for giving this sweet senior the loving retirement he deserves, and to the Fans whose support helps cover his ongoing eye medication.

Family: Rhonda Loe
Fan: Laura Shadle, Donor in loving memory of Dolly
Facts: Murray is 13 years old, and was rescued from Downey Shelter on May 10th, 2021.
