Dog Spends 588 Days in Shelter With No Interest, Then Euthanasia Loomed

After 588 days in a shelter in Los Angeles, senior pit-bull mix Tigre was scheduled to be euthanized.
Just one day before his scheduled euthanasia, the Frosted Faces Foundation (FFF) stepped in at the 11th hour, rescuing him from the South LA Animal Shelter.
"Not many people walk into the shelter inquiring about senior bully-breed dogs who are not social with other animals. That's a tall ask," Kelly Smíšek, executive director of FFF, told Newsweek. "Bully breeds are difficult to insure; veterinary care for seniors is expensive; and many people looking to adopt tend to have pets at home. Tigre was scheduled to be euthanized due to his length of stay and no interest."
Thanks to the team at FFF, Tigre's story soon took a positive turn, and he was placed with foster carer Kerri Ewing. Now, he has found a forever home with that carer, thanks to the FFF's Molly & Me Project initiative.

"Tigre was my second foster at Frosted Faces. I saw him on the Frosted Faces website and thought he was adorable. When I went to the amazing Frosted Faces facility in Ramona and met him, his soulful, sweet eyes and calm demeanor won me over," Tigre's new owner Kerri Ewing told Newsweek.
Ewing wasn't aware of the Molly & Me project and didn't know much about Tigre, but it was love at first sight and she knew she wanted to give him a happier life, even for a while.
Designed to help dogs like Tigre, senior pets who cannot live with other animals and are often passed over in shelters, Smíšek said: "The Molly & Me Project is a unique foster initiative by Frosted Faces Foundation designed to help senior dogs who cannot live with other animals.
"These dogs, like Molly—who inspired the project—are often incredibly loyal to people but poorly socialized with other pets. This makes finding them adoptive or foster homes especially difficult, often leaving them to languish in kennels or risk euthanasia," Smíšek added.
In 2024, approximately 7 million animals entered U.S. shelters and rescues, according to Shelter Animals Count—an increase of nearly 3 percent from 2023.
Around 748,000 animals experienced non-live outcomes, including euthanasia, death in care, and being lost in care, in 2024. While this represents a 1.6 percent decrease compared to 2023 and a 20 percent drop from 2019, the number remains high. Dogs made up a growing share of these outcomes, with euthanasia rates rising to 9 percent, compared to 7 percent in 2019.
As shelters struggle with overcrowding, foster support helps free up much-needed space for incoming animals without needing to resort to euthanasia.

Through the Molly & Me program, suitable foster families receive a $200 monthly stipend for up to 12 months, in addition to full veterinary care, supplies, and continuous support. Weekly updates with photos are required to ensure the dogs are living in a safe and enriching environment.
"It's incredibly rewarding to see a Molly & Me dog get adopted, not just because they found a home, but also because these are the dogs that people tend to pass over," said Smíšek. "They often come with a history we'll never fully know, and limitations that make them hard to place. So, when someone sees past all of that and commits to giving them the life they deserve, it means everything."
Ewing, who has now officially adopted Tigre, said how important the scheme was for her decision: "After living within cold, concrete walls in the shelter for 1.5 years, Tigre had to relearn how to live in a home.
"I also had to adjust some of my old habits and routines that I knew from my previous dog and learn how to best support Tigre so he can be himself again," she said. "The Molly & Me Project by Frosted Faces Foundation gave me the confidence and resources to continue investing in him to help him reach his full potential."
Now, Tigre is living his best life, and Ewing is thrilled to have a new best friend. "He is the best boy, and I am so grateful that Frosted Faces rescued him and that he came into my life. I can't imagine my life without him! He's brought so much joy and laughter to my life," Ewing said.
"He is so full of love and trust with everyone he meets, even after all he's been through. He's resilient and has a quiet strength about him. I love that he's come out of his shell and is living his best life!"
"Seeing him not just safe, but truly happy, in a home, on someone's couch, sleeping in their bed, being someone's one and only again, it reinforces why we do this work," Smíšek said.

The one-sided intimacy of being a fan
writes about pop culture, media, and ethics. Before joining Vox in 2016, they were a staff reporter at the Daily Dot. A 2019 fellow of the National Critics Institute, they're considered an authority on fandom, the internet, and the culture wars. A Vox reader asks: What exactly are parasocial relationships and why are they so prevalent now? Here's a hypothetical scenario: You hear your favorite podcasters every day. You know their voices by heart. They're chatty and relatable, and they casually reveal all the details of their lives — and what they don't say on the podcast you can easily pick up from following their social media accounts. Eventually, you start to think of them as people you know — even friends. So, it's a rude awakening when you see them at a coffee shop one day and walk up to say hi, only for them to look at you like you've just accosted a complete stranger — because you have. The reality is that, no matter how close a person feels to their favorite celebrities, influencers, politicians, or podcasters, these relationships aren't reciprocal. When a person chooses to put time and energy into these one-sided relationships, we call them 'parasocial.' The prefix 'para' here takes the sense of approximating or substituting for something but not actually being the thing itself. These connections may feel social, but they aren't. Why, then, do so many people seem to feel like they are? Explain It to Me The Explain It to Me newsletter answers an interesting question from an audience member in a digestible explainer from one of our journalists. Email (required) Sign Up By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice . This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply. The easy answer to that is that humans are really good at projection. Witness all the humans who are currently tricking themselves into believing their gen AI tools are in love with them or are divine prophets. The more complicated answer is that modern-day celebrity is constructed from an interwoven mesh of elements, ranging from unintended celebrity gaffes to intentional marketing, that result in a public persona that everyone feels entitled to. That's because we all, in a sense, helped create it. But are we creating monsters? Parasocial relationships have been around for nearly as long as celebrity itself The aspirational idea that we can have personal relationships with people we've never actually met is an intrinsic hope of humanity. It's found everywhere from religion — Christians are encouraged to have a relationship with Jesus, a man who lived 2,000 years ago — to political systems. Think, for instance, of medieval soldiers who died fighting for the name of a king they were never in the same room with, nevermind the acolytes who go to bat for their preferred candidates today. The association of these feelings with intense fandom dates back to at least the 19th century, and they've been stigmatized just as long. At the time, pundits coined the words 'Byronmania' and later 'Lisztomania' to describe European fan crazes for the darkly romantic poet Lord Byron and the flashy pianist Franz Liszt. Then, of course, came 'Beatlemania,' which set the stage for an ongoing media tendency to dismiss fans as hysterical, oversexed young women — a misogynistic view that downplays the cultural importance of fangirls. Fandom can be deeply meaningful and positively impactful for the millions who are involved in it, and handwringing about parasocial relationships often presumes that fans lack the ability to distinguish what's real, flattening a variety of experiences and expressions. But it's also true that fans overstepping their boundaries makes things hard for the people they stan. Modern fan culture has shifted away from worshiping aloof Hollywood divas from afar and toward complex entanglements between fans and stars. This shift arguably began in the late aughts within K-pop fandom and grassroots gamer and vlog fandoms on YouTube and Twitch, then expanded into the influencer phenomenon, and finally — irreversibly — into modern celebrity 'standom.' While much of stan culture is positive and welcome between celebrity and fans — see the entire Taylor Swift ecosystem — much of it is overtly toxic. Some fans seek to control and direct their favorite stars' private lives, even to the extent of shaming them and speaking out against them when they try to have lives outside of their public personas. Other segments of modern fans stalk celebrities openly, proactively, and proudly, often fully rejecting the idea that what they're doing is wrong or causing their fave serious discomfort. In the early years of influencer and stan culture, people who hit it big often had zero media training and zero preparation for how to deal with their new fame. Increasingly, however, celebrities have shown a heightened awareness of the complex nature of these relationships, along with a willingness to speak out instead of feeling pressured to appease their fans. Last year, for example, Chappell Roan spoke out about experiencing harassment, stalking, inappropriate behavior, and bullying — all of it coming from her own fandom. In recent years, celebrities including John Cena and Mitski have asked fans to stop filming them, with Mitski claiming the experience of having to perform for a sea of phones makes them feel as though they're being 'consumed as content.' Most fans, however, never interact directly with the public figures they're 'consuming.' Instead, they're interacting with the public persona that exists between the person and their fandom. And because that public persona isn't entirely real to begin with, it's easy for the boundaries that might exist in a real relationship to break down. Why are we like this??? The word parasocial comes to us from sociologists Donald Horton and R. Richard Wohl, who, in 1956, penned the essay 'Mass Communication and Para-Social Interaction: Observations on Intimacy at a Distance' in a volume of the research journal Psychiatry. 'One of the striking characteristics of the new mass media,' they wrote, 'is that they give the illusion of face-to-face relationship with the performer.' They dubbed this new form of mediated encounter 'para-social interaction.' Around the same time Horton and Wohl were navigating this new space between public performer and audience, renowned philosopher Jacques Lacan was positing that each individual exists in a kind of triple state: a symbolic representation of the self; an imagined, often idealized, version of the self that we internalize when we envision ourselves; and then the 'real' self, the actual person who exists apart from the symbolic and imagined selves. The result of all this sticky interdependence is an increase in fans feeling entitled to pieces of their celebrities' lives. Nowhere is this triple state more apparent than with celebrities. Film scholar Richard Dyer first articulated the concept of a 'star text,' arguing that every Hollywood star exists simultaneously as themselves, as a constructed persona — a 'text' — that might mean different things to different audiences, and as the symbol they represent. The construct of 'Chappell Roan,' for example, is a glam queer pop idol, the deliberately camp persona of a Missouri native named Kayleigh Rose Amstutz. To her fans, she's not just a singer, but a representation of liberated queer identity as performed through a range of complicated love songs and power anthems. It's this public-facing persona that stands apart from the individual celebrity and becomes a part of the cultural consciousness. It is partly created by the celebrity, partly created by their consciously cultivated brand, partly created by the narrative their fans and/or marketing team builds around them, and partly created by the pop culture zeitgeist. The public-facing persona becomes something the public can help create, expand upon, and shape. The persona is the thing that carries meaning, that can be venerated or excoriated or projected onto. And it's the persona, not the person, with whom we have our 'relationship.' Fans rarely reach this 'relationship' stage on their own. Modern-day celebrity uses the tools of intimacy to encourage fans and take their place in the culture. How much time, for example, do you spend letting your favorite podcaster or vlogger talk to you? It can be easy to start feeling like you're besties with people when they're chatting at you for hours a day. Then, there's the marketing apparatus to consider. The celebrities, or at least their PR teams, often tacitly or strategically encourage fan relationships. Witness Jin, the oldest member of the wildly popular K-pop group BTS, bizarrely having to give 1,000 hugs to 1,000 fans upon his exit from his mandatory military service last year. The media undoubtedly plays a role in this invasive culture, as well, by encouraging rampant speculation about celebrities' private lives. (Remember Kategate?) The result of all this sticky interdependence is an increase in fans feeling entitled to pieces of their celebrities' lives. The celebrity's inability to control any of this is undoubtedly part of the tension around the parasocial relationship discourse. In many cases, even confronting the idea that an actor could be someone else outside of their professional persona can distress fans. It's by no means only 'extreme' fans who fall prey to this way of thinking. Think how many people on the internet were emotionally invested in John Mulaney's divorce or the Try Guys scandal. These media narratives play out the way they do precisely because so many people feel an intense amount of ownership over the lives of these people they've never met. Trying to repair this would mean having to undo over a century of prurient media obsession with the lives of actors, performers, and other famous people, as well as the subsequent impact on individuals who fall hard for their faves. It's just not possible. Parasocial relationships are here to stay — so stan responsibly So, what's the solution? It's perhaps too simple to say 'stan responsibly,' especially when fandom etiquette is arguably devolving faster than any of us are prepared for. But that might be the most rational way to approach the reality of parasocial relationships. If you find yourself thinking it's okay to share and interact with photos of celebrities in their private moments, maybe it's time to check your level of investment in them and their life. If you find yourself getting caught up in increasingly bizarre conspiracy theories that make you seriously question what's real and what isn't, it's probably time to step back before you get drawn in further. If you have kids watching YouTube, make sure they understand the context for what they're watching before your child starts to believe that the influencer kid she adores is her best friend. If you're convinced your favorite podcaster hung the moon, maybe temper your expectations a wee bit, just in case they backslide into weird conspiracy theories and bizarre political talking points. I'm speaking from experience on that one.

Promising review: "Besides its obvious purpose, this item is really fun to use! I also like the consequences; I get to see the 'stuff' on the metal piece when I scrape it, which tells me I'm taking crap off my tongue. And then my tongue also feels scraped, which makes me feel like I did something more than just some kind of toothpaste or mouthwash to generally keep my mouth clean (which hasn't worked before). I think the feeling of having done something specific to keep your mouth clean is an important aspect of having confidence in your breath. After having bad breath for a while, no matter whether my mouth is clean or not, I shy away from talking directly at people. But this helps remove some of my doubts." —AshleyGet it from Amazon for $8.69 (also available in multipacks).

Dog Waiting in Car Honks to Hurry Owner out of Café—Wins 'Pet of the Week'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. If you followed along with this week's pet headlines, you've likely felt a mix of emotions. From a shelter dog waiting five years to find a forever home to a cat making the owner pay after going on vacation, pets captured our hearts. Another batch of submissions from our readers stood out, making it to this week's edition of Newsweek "Pet of the Week." If you wish to be featured, follow the instructions at the end of this article to get involved and possibly featured. Winner Photos of a dog honking the car horn after growing impatient while his owner is inside the coffee shop. Photos of a dog honking the car horn after growing impatient while his owner is inside the coffee shop. Brenda Sieren This week's winner made us laugh instantly, as the dog's patience was wearing thin and he resorted to pettiness to get his owner back into the car. Owner Brenda Sieren learned that her dog does not possess the virtue of patience. Sieren will run into a local café to pick up a coffee, a relatively quick errand, but sometimes the lines are long and it can take longer than expected. If that happens, she told Newsweek via email, her dog will honk the car horn to get her out of the café. "My boy can't stand for me to have a cup of coffee for more than a minute," she said. Finalists A 12 1/2-year-old dog named Molly is shown sitting in a kayak in the waters near California's Mount Shasta. A 12 1/2-year-old dog named Molly is shown sitting in a kayak in the waters near California's Mount Shasta. Matt Fielder The first of our finalists is a submission from Matt Fielder of California. The family welcomed home a Labrador retriever mix, Molly, when she was about 1. They quickly learned she's living up to her breed expectations, as she's obsessed with water. Still to this day, at 12 1/2 years old, Molly cannot get enough of the water. Fielder told Newsweek that any time she thinks her family is going out by the water, she'll quickly claim her spot in the kayak. Her adventures have taken her to incredible locations, including Mount Shasta. The photo Fielder submitted shows Molly sporting a water life vest, posing in front of the famous mountain. "A rescue at the age of one, she's without question a member of our family," he said. Photos of a black cat posing next to a stuffed toy that the owner bought as a Halloween decoration, but she claimed it as her own.

Alberta Wasden Alberta Wasden's black cat earned a spot as one of our finalists this week after befriending a stuffed toy looking just like her. Even though we're still in the heart of summer, stores are beginning to put out their Halloween decorations. Wasden told Newsweek she recently saw a "Summerween stuffed black cat" on sale and knew she needed it. Not just for her cat, but for decorations when the spooky holiday came around. However, her cat had other plans. When Wasden began taking photos of the decoration, her cat hopped onto the chair and began posing too, she said. These twins claimed the chair as their own to snuggle, and any idea of using it as a Halloween decoration has now been thrown out the window.

Deinlein Finally, last but not least, we have a dog who put in effort to find a comfy spot on a wedge pillow, which is a triangle-shaped pillow used to elevate the upper body. K. Deinlein's dog tried to nuzzle her way onto the slanted pillow; however, she told Newsweek, "gravity and exhaustion finally won out." The dog toppled off the wedge pillow and onto the ground, accepting defeat. She stayed on the ground, with her belly and paws up. This was as good a spot as she was going to get for a quick snooze session.
