Rescue FAQs

Grateful Dogs Rescue was founded in 1990; its mission is to rescue dogs not made available for adoption at San Francisco Animal Care and Control, and other local shelters, through no fault of their own. Rather than letting these dogs be euthanized, Grateful Dogs saves as many as possible by fostering these dogs in a loving home until a forever loving home is found. Grateful Dogs Rescue is always in need of new foster homes!  You can make a difference by fostering. The number of dogs we can save is dependent on having foster parents to care for them until they find their forever homes. All of our dogs are in foster care. To learn more about Grateful Dogs Rescue, please visit our website at gratefuldogsrescue.org. Grateful Dogs Rescue is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization dedicated to rescuing, fostering and rehoming dogs in the San Francisco Bay Area. Grateful Dogs Rescue is a registered 501-(c) (3) non-profit organization (TIN 94-3251570). All donations are tax deductible and greatly appreciated. Donations can be made online at our donation page or mailed to: Grateful Dogs Rescue  |  PO Box 411013  |  San Francisco, CA 94141
Adoptions are local, confined to the San Francisco Bay Area, including San Mateo County, Santa Clara, and Marin County, except in unusual circumstances.

Additional adoption info

The Grateful Dogs Rescue adoption procedure is designed to find a good match between the dog and adopter. Our goal is a happy foster to forever transition. The adoption procedure includes an application, interview, home check, and an adoption donation. The adoption donation helps to cover spay/neuter, shots and other medical care given before the dog is made available for adoption.
