A Ramona nonprofit built for the pets everyone else walks past. Frosted Faces Foundation rescues senior dogs and cats, pays for their lifelong veterinary care, and works to place each one in a warm final home. The 501(c)(3) was founded in Ramona in 2014 and covers medical costs from the day a pet arrives.

Kids Count
Parents & Caregivers: Are Ramona's children with disabilities getting the support they need?
Help us tell the story. We're introducing KIDS COUNT, an ongoing series exploring special education, accessibility, recreation, and opportunities for children with disabilities in our community.
What's working for your family? Where have you encountered barriers? Perhaps you've found an exceptional teacher or program. Perhaps you travel outside Ramona for services or struggle to find accessible activities.
We'll listen to families, speak with educators and service providers, and examine school report cards and other public records.
