My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Wesley is a 3-year-old, 13-lb Norwich Terrier mix and adorable bundle of scruff - available for adoption now @gratefuldogsrescue25
 
Fostered in the Bay Area
 
 
Wesley is crate trained, potty trained, and a total gentleman in the house. He’s incredibly affectionate and lives for snuggles — whether it’s curling up next to his foster parents or cuddling with his doggy foster sister. One of his cutest habits? He loves to sleep on his back, belly up, totally content and trusting
 
Wesley absolutely shines at home, safe with his loved ones. But the outside world can be a little scary for him. On leash, unfamiliar people and dogs can be overwhelming. Wesley can bark and get reactive so a strong hold on the leash and redirecting in the key. Even still, he is always first out the door for walks, bravely facing the unknown with hope and enthusiasm. 
 
And he is already making such amazing progress in the great outdoors! He will need a loving, patient forever person to help him continue to build confidence at his own pace.
 
Wesley will do best in a calm home, ideally with another dog who is down for cuddles, lazy hangs, and friendly play. We will have to pass on cat sibs, however, as our boy Wes is a little too curious about squirrels 
 
Wesley has some separation anxiety that does mean a some howling and whining. This could be problematic for those in apartments. 
 
If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal little companion to love and grow with, Wesley might just be your future cuddle buddy.

Grateful Dogs Rescue incurs substantial veterinary and other expenses in rescuing our dogs. In order to recoup some of these costs, we request a tax-deductible donation for each adoption. The suggested donation for NAME is $300.


If you are interested in adopting NAME, please complete our online adoption application at https://www.gratefuldogsrescue.org/adoption-process/ . One of our volunteers will get back to you. Adoptions are local, confined to the SF Bay Area.

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.

More about this rescue

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.
