Tribute: 12 year old Miracle Max was surrendered to Baldwin Park family by his family in poor condition. The shelter removed a large mass on his face, but he was struggling in the kennel environment so Cheryl Gullstrand advocated for his quick exit.

The longer Max lived at FFF it was becoming clear why he was surrendered. He does a lot of pacing and seemed pretty lost. Families commonly struggle with determining quality of life at this point. Unfortunately, since Max was surrendered and in a whole new place, it was really tough to make such a final call for him. His bloodwork was not terrible, neither were his x-rays, so we treated him for pain and gave him time to settle in.

Max was actually a great little walker and went on two hikes! If you gently petted him, he would settle and fall asleep in your lap. But, the rest of the day he was frantic, getting stuck in corners head pressing. Max just wasn’t Max anymore. Volunteers hand fed him, and he got to go to the park for a few quiet outings where he toodled around and fell asleep in the grass.

We let volunteers who worked closely with Max know that we felt he was suffering. They agreed and wanted to be part of his last chapter, so volunteers and staff gathered around Max on his soft bed in the FFF office to send him to heaven.

We love you, Max.

Family: Linda Soule
Fans: Q Porter in PDX, Jessica Morrison

Tribute: On June 28th, Linda fulfilled her promise to Frosted Face Casper.

Casper was one of 6 JRTs surrendered through our Final Wish Program when his dad passed away. Casper was the dad to all of the other dogs and had kidney disease.

Linda shared,

"On May 20th I brought Casper home for a 2 week fling. I had already brought home his son Scrappy and thought it would be fun to have them together. Casper had a lot of energy, was a happy dog, loved sniffing around our yard and going for walks around the neighborhood when he first came home. He and Scrappy were always together. It was obvious they loved each other and it was so cute! But he started to decline after just a few days.

We made quite a few trips to FF. Dr Russell and the vet staff, especially Rachael, went so above and beyond for him. After finding a tumor that was suspected to be cancer and trying so many different meds we decided it was best for Casper to say goodbye to him. So on June 28th we let him go.

I adopted Casper on Wednesday when I knew his time was close. I had seen the list Kelly posted a while ago with all the Frosted Faces who had passed without being adopted and I loved Casper too much to have him be on that list. I'm sorry I didn't have him longer but thankful I had him for the month he was here.

Thank you Kelly for trusting me with him, thank you Rachael for EVERYTHING you did for us in that last week, thank you Michelle and Diana for coming out to say goodbye, thank you Alicia and Bella for coming to sit with him a while. And thank you Dr Russell for not giving up on him and for trying everything that could be tried.

Casper was one of the famous 6 white terriers that came through the final wish program so I know he's back with his dad now.

Our time was short but you were so loved. I'm going to miss having you give me kisses, giving me your best side eye stare when you knew I was coming with more food for you to try and I'll never look at the blanket you claimed without seeing you work so hard to get it just right💜

We love you, we'll miss you and we'll take care of your boy. On May 20th I brought Casper home for a 2 week fling.

Caddy

Acquired from: Baldwin Park Animal Care Center DACC
Age upon Rescue: 8 years old
Date of Rescue: May 14, 2024
Date of Passing: July 30, 2024
Family: Paula Rushton, Shelby Smock, and FFF Volunteers & Staff
Fans: Alex Williams, Jonni Betancourt, Greyson M.

Tribute: Caddy entered Baldwin Park Shelter as a stray and was not claimed. He was doing poorly and required an exit by the end of a random business day while everyone was going about their busy lives. Volunteer, Cheryl Gullstrand, reached out to us and asked for our help. Lori Shands hit the road and brought Caddy (along with some friends) down to FFF.

After just a week in our care, what seemed like "old dog" issues suddenly got very bad and he could not use any of his four limbs. We took him to VSH for a neuro consult and MRI where they discovered spinal cord compression between the C4 and C5 vertebrae caused by a herniated disc. We opted to do the hemilaminectomy surgery to change his fate. This was an $11,000 investment to do right by Caddy.

Volunteers were committed to doing Caddy's physical therapy three time each day, and simply holding him to tell him he was special. Both Paula Rushton and Shelby Smock offered to help with Caddy's rehab at home. At first, we saw pretty good results of Caddy beginning to walk again, albeit unsteady, and a restored sparkle in his eye. Unfortunately, after about 8 weeks, Caddy was different. He could no longer use any of his legs again, his mentation was dull, and he was very frustrated when he was alert. The vets worked with Caddy constantly adjusting his medication and protocols, but we could not buy Caddy a quality existence and had to let him go.

His foster moms shared stories about their time with him.

Paula shared,

"Caddy was with me for a two week Fling. I had previously flung Macho, now Pringle, but my neighbor adopted him 12 hours into the foster period. I felt like I really hadn't contributed that much so headed back to FFF to seek out a dog that really needed help.

And there was Caddy. He had recently undergone spinal surgery and physical therapy was warranted to gain strength. He needed assistance standing so I had mini sessions with him multiple times each day. At first I would underestimate him, thinking 'he can't walk', so I'd plop him in a dog bed while I took a shower. Of course I'd get out of the shower and he'd be in the bathroom! I could tell he had it in him, the will to keep on keepin' on. He enjoyed a nice warm bath, extra treats and hanging out with FF Buddy and FF Linus. I was able to see improvement.

And when my fling with Caddy ended (due to personal medical reasons/houseguest), I was happy to see that he was selected for another Fling. Shelby took him in and gave him wonderful care during his time with her. Rest in peace, sweet Caddy."

Shelby shared,

"I would just love for everyone to know that Caddy really was such a good boy. He tried so hard for so long until he physically couldn’t anymore. I feel so appreciative for the time that I had with him, even though it was short. I had so much fun taking him on adventures and hanging out with him during the day. He was my buddy for a couple weeks and I am thankful that FFF gave me the chance to love him.

He had so many amazing people that loved and cared for him, I know he felt it. My dogs still look for Caddy when they come to the dog beds. They used to run up to him and give him kisses and make sure he was doing okay. I even feel like I’m constantly forgetting something every time I leave a room without carrying Caddy with me. Our whole family loved him very much and I know that Caddy had the best love and care from all of those around him at FFF. I will always remember the amount of people that did everything they could for him.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience Flinging him. Thank you so much for trusting me with him, he was the best."
