Senior Shelter Dogs Spent Christmas Devouring Tasty Treats And Snuggling While Watching Christmas Movies
Andrea Powell
Frosted Faces Foundation (FFF) is a senior dog rescue based in Ramona, California. The founders, Kelly and Andy, are dedicated to saving older dogs from high-kill shelters and finding them a loving home to spend their golden years.
With the help of foster families, volunteers, and adopters, the rescue has given countless older dogs the life they deserve before they peacefully cross the Rainbow Bridge.

"We had such a nice Christmas at FFF today. While it’s sad to think that none of these dogs get to spend the holidays with a family, we made the day as special as possible," wrote FFF on Facebook.

According to FFF, "Redbarn Premium Pet Products donated stockings to the Bigs with 12 bones that were the real deal. They’ve been getting a bone everyday and today they got the best one!"

"The Littles got to enjoy movie day in the lobby with volunteers. We watched Home Alone, Elf, and The Santa Claus while Andy cooked snacks. We had nearly 20 volunteers show up today to help us clean kennels, feed meals, take the dogs on multiple walks, and snuggle up to the movies."
