My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Jack Dawson!

Jack was entrusted to our care through the Final Wish Program when his mom moved into a memory care facility. Sadly, due to his mom's declining health, Jack did not receive the attention or care he deserved during the past year. His mom's friends advocated for Jack to become a Frosted Face, and on October 3rd, we happily welcomed him.

Jack is very sweet, enjoys short walks, and does well with other dogs. He is 15 years old and weighs 24 lbs. Jack looks amazing after a much-needed appointment with our groomer! He seems to feel better and be happier, too!

Jack is currently on a two-week Frosted Fling, so he can receive extra TLC while we learn what he is like in a home environment. His Fling Mom reports:

"Jack is an adorable boy who was clearly in much need of a loving home environment. It's absolutely mind boggling to see how much growth he's shown in such a short amount of time!

Jack likes being where you are, but is also okay enough being left home alone during the day. He does bark a little at first but eventually calms down. His favorite place in my apartment is the couch. He is a loving boy who will not be shy about wanting attention!

Jack was clearly well-trained and knows sit and paw and the meaning of "no!. He did mark in the beginning, but other than that is potty trained. He is such a good boy that when he had an upset stomach at night, he tried to make it to the door and then woke me up when he had an accident.

While he did have some trouble with resource guarding and not really liking my own dog at first, I was quickly able to nip that in the bud. and he has grown to care for the three of us as a pack. In fact, one night when my own dog wasn't feeling well Jack woke me up and wouldn't go back to bed until I checked in on her!

I've noticed that Jack has gained a lot of confidence through socializing with other dogs whom he likes and sees while on walks. He typically likes going on slow/medium paced walks, making him an awesome strolling buddy. He also tolerates sitting in the car quite well and can even jump in and out of my car. I usually take him with me whenever I run errands.

Jack does still struggle with eating, and tries to hide his food if you give him too much at once- this poor boy has clearly been malnourished for a long time, but I suspect that as he gains more confidence, he will become a much better eater. However, he loves treats (and will perk up if you say that word around him).

Please choose Jack if you are looking for a loyal, smart, loving, and well-mannered boy. Every time I tell people that he is 15, they are all floored- he seems much younger! If I had the resources to adopt him myself, I would- so please don't hesitate to make him part of your family!

Please email adopt@frostedfacesfoundation.org to schedule a time to meet this special boy.
