Story
Dorian is looking for his forever home!! Dorian was pulled from the shelter after spending 680 long days - nearly 2 years in LAs shelter system. Despite spending 2 years in an outdoor concrete kennel, with minimal human interaction, he held on to hope and has been the most resilient boy. Most dogs don’t last that long in high kill shelters, but Dorian was a staff favorite. He did well with volunteers who brought him out for play groups and they advocated for him to keep him alive. But still somehow no one wanted to adopt him. We saw a post about him and immediately knew we had to get this boy of that environment and into a foster home. Since then we have all fallen in love! We now understand why he was a staff favorite. He's the silliest Akita Inu mix, and he's as loyal and loving as they come. He is extremely handsome and the sweetest, most easy going guy. Dorian is crate trained, potty trained, and knows several commands. He can be nervous around strangers, but once he knows you, he loves you for life! Dorian is dog friendly, and he is an absolute goofball when he plays. Dorian loves to go for walks (cue the happy hops) and crash for a nap next to his person. He would be fantastic with a person with Akita experience or someone who understands/has researched the breed. Dorian is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and currently on flea tick and heartworm medication. Overall. he's in good health, and we believe he is around 6-7 years old and weighs 80 lbs. We recently did his DNA test with Embark, and he is an Akita Inu, American Akita, Pittie mix. If you’d like to see videos of Dorian you can visit the instagram page @fenwayfluff and see the story highlight called “Dorian”. He is currently being fostered in San DiegO

Story
*This is a courtesy listing.* Meet CeeCee! CeeCee is a 14-year-old Akita that needs a loving new home because both of her owners passed away. Their neighbor and good friend has been taking care of Cee Cee and the house for the past two years while the estate settles. It is finally on the verge of being settled, and Cee Cee's caregiver is becoming increasing worried about being able to place her. Might you be willing to give this sweet, gentle girl a home for her golden years? What we know about Cee Cee: * Very calm when meeting people * Good with children - friendly and accepting of pets * House-trained; accustomed to having access to yard through doggie door * Enjoys walks around the neighborhood - watch videos to see how nicely she walks on leash! * Well-behaved when in her home alone * Accepts food and treats gently * Likes being brushed Cee Cee's caregiver shares: "She is very playful like a puppy, especially when I grab the leash. She is the best walker ever! Our walks go from 1/2 mile to 1 1/2 miles, and she could go further. I wish my dogs walked like her!" To meet beautiful Cee Cee or to learn more about her, please email Barry at: SoCal57@yahoo.com *Frosted Faces Foundation has not assessed this dog medically or behaviorally.*

Nala is a purebred akita. She has been rehomed now 4 times now so i’m trying to find her a forever home. She’s very sweet and has tons of energy. Would prefer her to move into a home with a backyard, but has been an apartment dog so if needed. She may do better either being an only dog or in a home with a younger dog than her. She comes with a crate, her bowl, some toys, and her leash.

These pups are in Vista, California too!

I adopted Elora at the humane society. She is 2 years old. She was found as a stray but had already been spayed which led us to believe that was owned before. She’s very scared of people.

Story
Hi there! My name is Brittany! Though I am in foster care right now, I am looking for a new foster or a furever home to help me branch out away from my mom and siblings. (send an email to info@smallbreedrescue.org if you are interested in fostering me) I’m a happy-go-lucky, carefree, and cheerful companion who is tough on the outside but a teddy bear on the inside. What thrills me most in life is sharing my love with those around me, whether you’re big, small, old, or young. I’m an equal-opportunity companion! Affection is my middle name, and I can’t think of anything better than getting love and attention from my family. I’m outgoing and friendly, and you’ll often find me lying in your cozy lap, content and happy. My favorite toys are squeaky ones and those that help me with my teething. I love every treat I’ve tried and enjoy playing chase and getting cuddles. My foster family is helping me learn manners or what we call Petiquette and how to be calm. Sometimes I have trouble controlling my excitement and impulses, but I’m learning. I like to take my time approaching new situations. While I’m a bit shy with new faces and places, I warm up as I become more familiar with my environment. I know sit, stay, come, off, down, wait, and walk on a leash with a harness. I am crate-trained and, although I whine at first, I settle down pretty quickly. I’m learning to be potty trained and do well when I am reminded to go outside. I still need some help with my manners and would do well with some additional positive reinforcement training. Exercise keeps me happy and content. Without it, I can get a little worked up. I do best when I have had a chance to get my energy out so that I can be calm later. Going for walks, engaging in play, and doing outdoor activities with my new family daily would make me very happy! I was found living under a shed on a very large, secluded property with my siblings and mom and boy have I come a long way! If you think we may be a good match or would like to get to know me better, please click the Adoption Application button below my bio on the rescue website, here is the link - https://www.smallbreedrescue.org/Home/AnimalDetails/12526 Please note - Due to home introductions that are part of the adoption process, we can only accept applications for interested parties who are in or near North County San Diego County, California, at this time.

Story
Meet Snow Bella – A Gentle Soul Seeking her Forever Home Snow Bella is currently in foster care, looking for a forever home where she can begin to bond with her family. Though a bit shy and reserved, Snow Bella is a calm, gentle companion who bonds deeply with her people and loves spending time with her goat friends. If another animal ventures too close to them, she quickly springs into action to keep them safe! Bella has just begun meeting the other dogs in her foster family. With a gentle, watchful nature, she’s learning to feel comfortable around new friends and environments at her own pace. While she hasn't yet tried to play with the big dog she’s met, she’s curious and open to learning. Though cautious at first, she loves attention from people she trusts and absolutely adores belly and ear rubs! Recently, Snow Bella has discovered the joy of chew toys and enjoys zooming around. She’s not a fan of bland dog treats but lights up for meaty ones. She’s always gentle and calm, and even when scared, has never shown any signs of aggression. Snow Bella is crate-shy and prefers spending her time outdoors, where she can roam and watch over her surroundings. She’s happiest in a space with plenty of room to explore, especially since she was found with her puppies under a shed on a large, quiet property. However, she is also a wonderful housemate, with perfect manners and no accidents indoors. Snow Bella’s foster family is helping her learn basic commands like "stay" and "come," and she’s adapting well to walking on a leash. She stays close, content to follow her person as they lead. Exercise is essential to her well-being, so an active, spacious home where she can thrive is her dream. If you think Snow Bella could be the perfect fit for your family,, please click the Adoption Application button below my bio on the rescue website, here is the link - https://www.smallbreedrescue.org/Home/AnimalDetails/12521 Please note - Due to home introductions that are part of the adoption process, we can only accept applications for interested parties who are in or near North County San Diego County, California, at this time.
