Donegal

Donegal arrived at South LA Shelter as a stray, and when no one came forward to claim him, we happily welcomed him as a Frosted Face. Estimated to be 10 years old and weighing just 13 pounds, Donegal soon set out on a two-week Frosted Fling so we could learn more about him in a home environment. Well, he proved to be such a good houseguest that his fling turned into a long-term foster placement while he waits for his forever family. Could it be you?<br/><br/>His foster mom shares:<br/><br/>"When Donegal first arrived at my house, I honestly thought he might be both deaf and blind. But he's proven to be incredibly adaptable. He seems to see shapes well enough to confidently hop up the step into my house, and while he doesn't respond to most noises, he does pick up on finger snaps, which has become a great way to redirect him or help him find his way. He learned my scent and now perks right up when I get home and walks over to the door to greet me.<br/><br/>Donegal is the sweetest little shadow when I'm home. If I'm staying in one place, he will find the closet bed to curl up in. If I'm up walking around or cooking in the kitchen, he hangs by my side. Despite wanting to stay close when I'm home, he has no separation anxiety - he curls up in his bed and snoozes until I get back (have left him up to 4 hours).<br/><br/>Some of Donny's favorite things include:<br/> Being held like a baby every night before bed. He knows the routine now and stands by my nightstand after his evening potty break waiting for his nightly cuddle.<br/> Admiring his reflection in the sliding glass door. (I'm not sure how much he can actually see, but I regularly catch him hanging out there.)<br/> Making new friends. He's a little flinchy at first touch, probably because he doesn't fully hear or see people, but within seconds he's leaning in for pets and soaking up the attention. He's made friends with people ages 8-80 and ignores my aunt's dog when they hang out.<br/> Leisurely strolls around the neighborhood with lots of stops to sniff.<br/> One of his newest favorite activities is standing in front of the fan and letting the wind blow his ears back. I think it reminds him of our evenings watching the sunset with the sea breeze, another of his favorite activities.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a low-key companion who's simply happy to have a comfy bed (bonus points if it looks just a little too small for him), Donny might just be your perfect match!"<br/><br/>To meet this very special boy:<br/>placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org
