Story
Meet Byte!
Byte entered Riverside County Animal Services as a stray, and when he wasn't claimed during the required hold period, we scooped him up on January 6th to become a Frosted Face. Is there a better way for a shelter dog to start the new year than with a safe exit and the promise of a forever home?
Byte is estimated to be 15 years old, and he weighs 8 lbs. A few days after Byte arrived at FFF, he was chosen by a Foster family to live in their home until he is adopted. We are so glad Byte is getting lots of love and pampering in the comfort of a home.
Byte's Foster Mom shared this great update:
"Byte is an absolute sweetheart who resembles a tiny llama (thanks to his oversized ears!) Our kids have been calling him Kuzco like the Disney character who is a llama.
Byte is a sweetheart of a dog who will captivate your heart with his loyalty and affection. Once he chooses his human, he'll be by their side forever, showering them with love and devotion. Although Byte can be fear-reactive and may growl when feeling uneasy, he's never shown aggression through biting. His past story remains a mystery, but it's clear he's experienced trauma, making him a slow-bloomer when it comes to affection. With patience and gentle care, Byte will reveal his loving personality, as he has with us. After gaining his trust, he's shown us the depths of his love and loyalty.
Byte is a laid-back and easygoing dog who gets along with other animals. We frequently have other dogs visiting our home, ranging from large (even extra large) to small, and Byte coexists with them peacefully. He's not one to initiate interactions, but he's also not bothered by their presence (unless they’re all over him of course).
At home, Byte lives with our cat, and aside from sneaking in to snack on her food, he treats her with gentle respect. Byte's neutral nature makes him a great fit for households with multiple pets.
Byte is a laid-back pup who loves to take it easy. He's mostly a homebody, but enjoys occasional short walks around the neighborhood to get some fresh air and sniff out the sights. His ideal day is spent lounging around the house with his favorite humans.
Byte is unable to navigate stairs, but as an 8-pound dog, he's easy to pick up and assist. Byte is content spending most of his time downstairs, where he's claimed his favorite spot on the couch as his own. He strongly dislikes being crated, so a crate-free home would be ideal.
During his time in foster care, Byte has demonstrated that he's a gentle soul who gets along wonderfully with people of all ages and backgrounds. He's comfortable around women, men, kids, and even infants, making him a versatile companion. In our home, Byte lives with three children, including a VERY rambunctious 3-year-old toddler, and he's shown remarkable patience and tolerance.
Byte does have boundaries and will warn him with a growl if his space is invaded, he's never bitten and simply wants to communicate his discomfort. Ideally, a household with no young children would be a perfect fit for Byte's comfort, allowing him to relax and thrive in a peaceful environment. With proper supervision and respect for his boundaries, Byte is a loving and loyal companion ready for his forever home."
