Story
We got Eddie when he was 8 weeks old. He was found abandoned with his umbilical cord still attached. We believe he is a Shitzu and Maltese mix. He is a very loving and playful puppy. He is 8 months old and has all of his shots and has been neutered. He is semi house trained due to our busy schedules and with a proper home we believe he can be trained quite easily. He will have accidents in the house if not taken out in time. He loves kids and gets along well with other dogs. He is not a barker and is crate trained to sleep throughout the night with no problems in his crate. Eddie is hypoallergenic and loves to cuddle with our family.

We got the call about an abanded family of little dogs here in Mexico. We went to the abandoned property and found a Mom and Dad in terrible shape and dead babies. Fred was a real trooper. He had to have all his fur cut off due to the matted insect infested hair and skin infections. He is now a loving funny little guy looking for love.  ##2050257##

Story
Meet Pee Wee Pepperidge! Pee Wee's shelter notes are very sad... she was found on the freeway, her coat matted, filthy & full of foxtails. Pee Wee had a microchip, and several attempts were made to reach her owners by phone and certified letter. After these efforts failed, Santa Barbara County Animal Services reached out for a safe exit for sweet little Pee Wee. She became a Frosted Face on December 18th. Pee Wee is currently on a two-week Frosted Fling, and we're so happy she is spending the holidays in a home.. Check back soon to see what we learn about Pee Wee!
