My story

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

Meet Stanley!

Stanley came to us from Inland Valley Humane Society & SPCA. We scooped him up to become a Frosted Face on December 11th. Stanley is estimated to be 10 years old, weighs 14.5 lbs., and is so sweet.
He is an adorable cuddle bug who loves people and other dogs!

A volunteer took Stanley on a fun 3-day Frosted Field Trip to Joshua Tree, and he earned a rave review for being a great travel buddy and all-around good boy!

Afterwards, our volunteer shared:

"It was just me, Stanley, and my 8-year-old Rottie/ Shepherd mix Tahoe. Stanley did so well on the drive there and back. If he wasn't looking out the window, he was napping.

There were no issues between Stanley and my dog. They didn't play together. but they did respect each other's boundaries.

Stanley is easy going and low maintenance:
He doesn't resource guard his human, food or toys.
He doesn't mind being picked up and doesn't fuss when you put on his sweater, harness, or leash.

Stanley was not overly affectionate, but he did like to be close by. If I wasn't in his line of vision, he would walk around the Airbnb looking for me (no barking or whining, just walking around checking from room to room until he found me).

Stanley slept in his bed on the floor at the foot of my bed, but I woke up one night to him trying to jump up (if the furniture is low enough, he has no trouble jumping up), so I lifted him up onto the bed with me. He sniffed around looking for a spot and eventually curled up at my feet.

I was taking a shower after breakfast one morning and when I got out, there was Stanley lying on the bathroom rug waiting for me!

Stanley is mostly mellow and quiet but once a day, he gets a spurt of energy and becomes playful. Our Airbnb had lots of doggie toys for Stanley to choose from, which he was very excited about. He sorted through the pile of toys while I unloaded our things upon arrival. He preferred the chewy, squeaky toys, and he kind of knows how to play fetch (i.e. sometimes he'd bring the ball back and sometimes I needed to retrieve it - lol!)

Stanley likes to take leisurely strolls and get his sniffs in and was content to visit the dog park down the street once per day. He would exchange sniffs if other dogs approached him but otherwise kept to himself and explored on his own. One of the littles he encountered kept trying to initiate play and Stanley was so calm and patient every time this other dog tried to get him to reciprocate.

After an eventful outing like this, Stanley was content to relax at the Airbnb the rest of the day which had a gated, small backyard from him to roam around.
If he wasn't napping inside, he was outside in the backyard in a sunny spot happily soaking up rays and snoozing.

Whether we were at the dog park, a coffee shop or restaurant, we'd always get a few people that would stop and compliment how cute and sweet Stanley was. He definitely made fans wherever we went and was even featured on the Instagram page of one of the restaurant's we dined at.

Lastly, Stanley is potty trained! He will definitely let you know when he needs to go out: he'll pace and/or whine."

All Stanley needs now is a forever family. Might that be you?

Drop by between 10 AM and 3 PM any day of the week to meet sweet Stanley and our other on-site Frosted Faces!
