At a regular shelter, Sonoma may not have lasted long. Few people want to adopt an elderly dog with some obvious medical conditions. But Frosted Faces Foundation, a senior dog rescue operation took in Sonoma and things are looking brighter!
“At any age, the only languages a dog will ever know are fierce loyalty and love,” Kelly Smíšek, founder of Frosted Faces Foundation, told The Dodo. “There is nothing one can say to explain to your dog all of the reasons you feel your decision of abandonment is justified, and that is why we operate Frosted Faces Foundation.”
The day after taking him in, Sonoma's rescuers immediately took him to the local vet to get him checked out and see how many health issues the senior pup had. It turns out he had infected ears and an ulcer in his left eye, which rescuers made sure got treated, and also a handful of masses and skin tags. Otherwise, he seemed to be in good health. Despite his age, all of his bloodwork came back completely normal.

Having a clear bloodwork-up is an excellent start and it does show that the mature pooch was well taken care of by his former owners despite their relinquishment of the pooch!
Sonoma's spirits were not good to begin with but he now seems much happier, his eyes and ears having already started to heal, and he is eating well. It’s time to give this cutie a second chance with a loving and understanding home. If you would like to learn more about Sonoma, possibly even about adoption go to
