Story
Meet McComb! McComb entered Pasadena Humane Society as a stray. When he wasn't claimed, we scooped him up on November 30th to become a Frosted Face. McComb is estimated to be 8 years old, and he weighs 12.5 lbs. McComb is a sweet, lovable dog with some special needs that require a little extra patience and care. Thankfully, he has been living in a loving foster home since mid-December, and we've learned a lot about him and what he needs to thrive. McComb is a mellow guy who loves snacks, butt scratches, and sniffing around in the yard. Though he has some challenges—he’s blind, deaf, and likely has early-stage cognitive dysfunction (CCD)—he still enjoys life! His Fling Mom shares: "McComb walks to the beat of his own drum. He does what he wants- sometimes that is napping all day, sometimes that is pacing for a while. He doesn't pay attention to toys or me, but he does love snuffle mats! He also likes to go out in the yard and sniff around, his nose seems to work really well!! He doesn't walk very well on leash, so I didn't force him on walks and he didn't settle well in strollers, so I usually just rotate his sniffs in the front or back yard. McComb is fine with people if the people let him know they are there. I usually put my hand on his neck or back slowly and let him recognize I'm there and then start to pet him, he is usually receptive to pets that way. He can be a bit reactive if you go directly for his head. McComb does seem to recognize when I get home some days though and whines when he hears my dogs bark. McComb is aware when new dogs enter the home and will interact with polite sniffs. Otherwise, he pretty much ignores the other dogs in the home. He doesn't snuggle, but also isn't food aggressive or a resource guarder. McComb isn't a dog that is for everyone. In addition to being blind and deaf, he doesn't like his eye drops, and isn't potty trained- but he lovessss snacks and butt scratches. McComb would be a labor of love without much in return, but speaking from my experience, it'll be worth every dirty diaper and almost bite!" This special boy deserves to enjoy his golden years with a loving family who will cherish him for who he is. Might that be you? McComb is currently on a second Fling while he waits for his forever home. To meet McComb, please email placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org
