My story

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

**Meet Cinnamon - Your Pocket-Sized Adventure Buddy**

This 1-year-old, 7.5lb Chihuahua mix is the perfect blend of spunky and sweet. Cinnamon's favorite things? Squeaky toys, squirrel-watching (okay, squirrel-*chasing*), and being your constant companion whether you're hiking three miles or binge-watching your favorite show.

**What makes Cinnamon special:** She's a true velcro dog who bonds deeply with her people - soul dog potential for sure. This smart little dynamo walks beautifully on leash, is housetrained, and gets along great with people and other dogs (though she appreciates a gentle intro with new pups). She's adventurous and athletic, frequently walking on her hind legs like a tiny T-Rex, and absolutely loves tug of war. At home, she is happy to nap most of the day — but pick up her walking harness and she gets super excited! Loves getting scritches and giving kisses. She would be a good dog for a first-time dog owner.

**What Cinnamon needs:** Her ideal home will help her work through some separation anxiety - she really hates being left behind. She would probably be a great dog to bring to work — as long as her people are around, she's happy. She is very calm in the car and does not get carsick. She's lean and gets chilly easily, though she's adamant that sweaters are NOT her style (but she's small enough to tuck into your jacket!). A home without cats would be best, as this girl has a serious prey drive. She'd thrive as an only dog or with calm, easy-going canine siblings.

**Cinnamon's story:** Rescued from Salinas Animal Shelter by Grateful Dogs Rescue, Cinnamon was scared and shut down in the shelter but has absolutely flourished in her foster home. She's ready to find her forever family who will appreciate her big personality in a tiny package. Could this playful, cuddly, squeaky-toy-obsessed little charmer be your perfect match?

 

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 CINNAMON is $300.

If you are interested in adopting
CINNAMON , 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.
