About Gucci

Gucci's journey is a touching reminder of how quickly life can change for our furry friends. After losing her beloved owner, Gucci ended up at Chesterfield South L.A. Animal Care. Pets are treated as personal property, which meant she was placed on a 30-day hold for any family member to reclaim her. Unfortunately, no one came forward, leaving Gucci without the home and companionship she once knew. Compounding her heartbreak, Gucci developed an upper respiratory infection while at the shelter and was placed on the euthanasia list. Fortunately, she found refuge with the Frosted Faces Foundation, giving her a second chance at happiness. At 8 years old, she weighs 18 pounds. After such upheaval, she will need time to adjust to her new environment and feel secure. We'll allow her to settle in at her own pace and share more about her personality as we learn more together. Stay tuned for updates! Ready to meet Gucci? Email placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org to arrange a meeting.
