AGNEW — Peninsula Friends of Animals has found a foster home for Frosty and Snowman, two deaf and blind Lhaso apso-Shih Tzu mix dogs.
There’s only one potential dogleg in the 2-year-old brothers’ road to a permanent home: The foster couple willing to care for them has six cats.
“This will be a foster situation with the intention of adopting, if their six cats are kind to the pups,” said Nancy Campbell, operations manager for Peninsula Friends of Animals, which has taken care of Frosty and Snowman for several weeks.
Campbell said the dogs will go to their new family sometime next week after adequate fences are put up at the foster home.
“We are very excited but sad to see the little guys go,” Campbell said.
“They also saw the eye specialist and have been on some eye- and eardrops to clear up some allergy and infection issues.
“They will get a bath and be healthy and pretty to go on their big adventure.”
The dogs lost their parents with children a month ago when the family moved to Scotland, so the pet-loving people at the Peninsula Friends of Animals sought a temporary foster care arrangement or, preferably, a permanent “special” home.
Several inquiries came into the nonprofit animal care facility after a story and photo ran in the Peninsula Daily News with a video running with the story on www.peninsuladailynews.com.
While the group mostly is known for its Safe Haven facility, where it shelters an average of 50 adoptable felines just north of U.S. Highway 101 and east of Shore Road, the group also takes in small dogs with special needs until they are adopted.
Frosty and Snowman function much like other dogs and appear to have a heightened sense of smell and feel for vibrations that help them navigate around the yard.
