My name is Hope!

Meet Hope — the gentle little blossom waiting to bloom

Hope is a 2‑year‑old, 9‑lb Chihuahua–Terrier mix with a tender heart and a soft spirit. She can be shy when meeting new people, but once she feels safe, her true personality peeks out — and it’s pure sweetness. When she trusts you, she’ll quietly trot over for affection, gentle pets, and cozy lap time.

Why she’s special

• A sensitive soul who bonds deeply once she feels secure

• A quiet companion who loves being near her person

• A playful girl who lights up when she’s comfortable

• A great match for a home with another dog who can help her confidence grow

Daily life with Hope

• Enjoys calm environments where she can warm up at her own pace

• Seeks out gentle affection once she trusts you

• Loves to play when she feels safe and relaxed

• Benefits from a confident canine buddy who can show her the ropes

Her ideal home

• Patient adopters who understand shy dogs

• A second friendly dog to help her blossom

• A quieter household without too much chaos

• People who celebrate small victories as she gains confidence

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 HOPE is $300.

If you are interested in adopting HOPE, 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.
