My story

Frosty is a special 10 yr old Bichon Frise mix who definitely has had a few trust issues in the past. When she came into foster, she needed time to adjust to her new surroundings and wasn't sure she could trust the people who were fostering her.  With a great deal of patience and love, she has blossomed into a very loving dog who loves to cuddle with her foster mom on the couch or in bed.  At first, she did not like her face, neck or near her tail touched.  Touching these areas brought out her fear of people and she would snap at them.  Over time, Frosty has learned that people have good intentions and there is nothing sneaky or nefarious going on. When approached properly and positively, she welcomes human interactions.     She has been fully vetted and is up to date on her vaccines.  Going to the groomer is very stressful for Frosty so she is given medication to calm her before she goes but other than that she does not receive any medication other than her flea and tick meds.     Frosty will sit, stay, and will come quickly back to you when called.  She loves exploring the backyard and loves spending time there with her person.  She is housetrained but also uses pee pads when needed.   Frosty eats wet food twice a day due to the lack of teeth and also loves things like liver treats, watermelon, strawberries and broccoli.  Mention the word treat and she comes running to see what you have for her.   Frosty loves to go for walks and as soon as she sees the leash, sits quietly until you clip it onto her harness.  She  actually prances rather than walks. Using a harness is best for her as she sometimes pulls when she first starts out.  Other dogs, traffic and other people walking or riding do not bother her at all.  She is only interested in the next good smell and where she is going.  Frosty loves going for car rides and once you are on your way settles down and goes to sleep.   Frosty has been in the company of women and men but makes friends easier with women. An experienced owner with lots of time and patience would be the best fit for Frosty. Once she has trust in her caregiver, she will lavish you with love, loyalty and companionship       September 22, 2025, 8:41 am

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Frosty, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
