My story

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

Meet Ash!

Ash and Angie (also available for adoption) were abandoned on a property that reportedly was set on fire. Authorities went to the property and discovered the two dogs. Unfortunately, a third dog had perished in the fire.

Ash and Angie were taken to San Bernardino City Shelter, and they became Frosted Faces together on November 12th. Ash is about 10 years old and weighs 35 lbs. He has paralysis of his hind end, but the good news is that Ash took to his wheelchair immediately and is already a pro!

Ash does great on our weekly FFF hikes! He loves being by his bestie's side, and he has learned that the extra effort going uphill means big fun going down! This sweet boy is one tough cookie, and every volunteer that walks with him finds his determination and can-do spirit so inspiring.

Ash and Angie live in our lobby (with a special group of Frosted Faces affectionately known as lobbyists) where they enjoy lots of attention and are most often found cuddling together on a big comfy dog bed. They love each other SO much, are great with other dogs, and love people, too!

Ash and Angie went on a two-week Frosted Fling, so we could learn what they are like in a home and use that information to place them with a wonderful forever family - just like they deserve!

Their Fling Mom reports:

"Ash & Angie redefine what it means to be the perfect companions and just want a loving home to call their own.

Ash & Angie have come so far, reciprocating love in their own way, happily snuggling, acknowledging us when we get home, and even requesting couch cuddles. Both are eating well, and adjusting perfectly to dry(er) food. We’ve found this to be best for Ash’s tummy.

On their first outing, they nailed it! Ash got so much love from kids in his wheelchair, helping spread awareness about how amazing dogs (and people) with different abilities are. He chilled while we ate, and Angie stood sweetly by, taking it all in.

These two are absolute gems, and if you’ve ever thought about fostering or adopting (especially a dog with special needs), now’s the time! Here’s why they’re paws-itively perfect:

🌟 Potty Training Pros
Ash, has got the whole “heading toward the door” thing down—sometimes he just needs a little assist to get there in time. Angie? She’s a pacing pro—when you see her on the move, a quick “go outside!” does the trick. Minimal accidents and maximum potential!

🌟 Walkies, But Make It Fun
We’ve got a special routine here: Angie gets a quick “pre-walk” to burn off her endless energy (she LOVES hills, by the way). Then we grab Ash, who zooms around in his wheels! Together, they make walk time a total adventure.

🌟 Foodies in the Making
Ash & Angie have officially upgraded from wet-only meals to a tasty wet/dry mix, and they’re loving it! Angie’s working on her manners—she just gets a little too excited about dinner. Don’t we all?

🌟 Snuggle Squad
They’re cuddle champions! These two nap and snuggle the majority of the day and sleep through the night.

🌟 Ash’s Wheels? No Biggie!
Okay, let’s talk about Ash’s wheels. At first, we lovingly called him “Crasher” because he’d scoot into things. Now? He’s got the house layout memorized and is scooting and wobble walking like a champ! He doesn’t need the wheels indoors, but outside, he’s all about speed. Angie even plays guide pup for him sometimes, and it’s the sweetest thing ever.

🌟 Two’s Company, Not a Crowd
Don’t let the idea of having two pups scare you off—these two are like peanut butter and jelly: better together! They support each other, wait for each other on walks, and get into cute little bouts of mischief together (hello, home detectives!). They’re no trouble—just double the love.

🌟 No Separation Anxiety = More Freedom for You
Ash & Angie are totally chill when you’re away.
These two have so much love to give, and all they need is someone with a big heart who’s ready to love on them!"

At bedtime, they put themselves to bed in their favorite little nook and sleep soundly until at least 7 AM. They’re happy, well-adjusted, and such good pups!"
