Story

Rembrandt is a perfect potato, with fur the color of toasted coconut and an adorable frosting face who has landed in Muttville just in time to find his perfect home for the holidays. He’s a little shy but warms up quickly (especially if you have a treat or two handy – it’s remarkable how brave the shy seniors become when enticed with a bit of chicken!). Rembrandt is a politely personable dog, although not always keen to initiate introductions, he’s very receptive to well-mannered mutts. He’s the perfect snuggle-size, so if you’re looking for someone to join you on the couch during these cold winter days, Rembrandt might just be the dog for you! Here's some notes from his foster: Rembrandt is a wonderful little gentleman and he’s settled in great in my studio. His temperament is so mild and wonderfully gentle. House training is going well, he is learning to use pads and he is proving that if he is taken out regularly for bathroom breaks there will be zero accidents.

Story

GitHub is a mix of Jack Russel terrier and dachshund, and he combines the best of both breeds. He has the sandy brown color and compact potato-shaped body of a dachshund, adorable facial structure of a Jack Russell (which just a dusting of sugar showing his status as a distinguished gentleman), and the floppy chocolate ears of both breeds. GitHub is a friendly boy who ambles about looking for a sniff here and there; he’s getting along well with the other dogs (and people!) at Muttville with his polite manners and upbeat spirit. This portly gentleman has been searching for his forever home, and he’s considering potential families – if you’d like to throw your hat in the ring, come meet this sweet senior today! Here's some notes from his foster: He’s great in the car. Though he’ll ask at the outset if he can come forward, when told no he settles in the back seat. Now he’s charging up stairs, with a very endearing hop. Lots of good, long walks seem satisfying. Many different dogs sniffed without incident. Very friendly meeting new people when on a walk in my experience. Barky through the window as people approach the front door, but happy and friendly when he meets them inside. Rarely, he’ll be surprised by something and offer a bark or two, but never seen him lose control over anything on a walk. Normally fine with strollers, loud trucks, bikes, etc. Have not seen him interact with a cat, but he doesn’t react to them, or squirrels or birds for instance, on sight. Similar to his crawl into a blanket nature, he’ll sometimes crawl under hedges on walks… to see what only short-legged dogs can see. He no longer follows me everywhere all the time in the house, content to know I’m around mostly. Still learning how to have me walk away from the house without him, but making progress in little steps. He sleeps still and quietly all night on his own little dog pad and under his own cozy blanket at the head of my bed. His ideal would be to have my pillow. His resting mode usually involves tucking at least his nose if not his whole body into something. He’s very sweet and gentle in my experience and a very good looking boy.

Story

Meet Salvador, the sweetest senior gentleman with a big heart and even bigger floppy ears. This handsome tan boy with his charming white face has perfected the art of being a lap dog; if there’s a cozy spot or a human nearby, he’s ready to claim it with love. Salvador enjoys the company of other dogs, but he appreciates warm, thoughtful introductions so he can feel safe. He’s a pro at setting gentle boundaries while still staying curious and social. Once he’s comfortable, his affectionate side shines, and he’ll happily soak up all the pets and attention you’re willing to give. If you’re looking for a mellow, loving companion who adores lap time and bonding with his people, Salvador is your guy! He’s ready to bring warmth, sweetness, and a whole lot of charm into his forever home! Here's some notes from his foster: Salvador is a spunky little chiweenie that is looking for a calm house to cuddle in. He is completely potty trained and has no accidents in my home! He loves treats and cuddling next to you on the couch. He walks great on a leash, but may exhibit a little bark while other friends walk by. He can do stairs once he is feeling in the mood to, but sometimes wants to pretend to be lazy. He does well in cars and can be left at home alone! He’s actually the perfect little senior that balances fun, but also a chill time.

Dachshund

San Francisco, CA

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Say hello to your new lapdog! Stretch is a shy, sweet boy who LOVES attention. He is still recovering from being in the scary animal shelter, and is cautious in new places and with new people. But once he gets to know you, he doesn't want to be anywhere else. He is one of the rare dogs who like to be held like a baby, with his long tummy up and available for pets. His dachshund body fits perfectly in the crook of your arm. Stretch enjoys walking on leash and gets along with other dogs, although he can become possessive of his human's lap. He is a very sensitive boy - a single scold works to discourage unwanted behavior. We are working on potty training, and he is learning quickly. Stretch would do best in a quiet house with a family who is patient enough to let him come out of his shell at his own pace. Watching a rescue dog slowly open up and learn to feel safe again is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have, and the dog will never let you go a single day without knowing how important you are to them. Grateful Dogs Rescue incurs substantial veterinary an d 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 Stretch is $300. If you are interested in adopting Stretch, 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.

Story

Thank you for your inquiry. Bambi has an adopter but we have to wait for them to go pick her up after the stay-at-home is lifted. Once she is picked up we will remove her profile. Please do not write to us for an application. Sorry for any inconvenience. Bambi is extremely shy. She is approximately 1 year old and weighs just 7 lbs. Once she warms up she is very affectionate. Bambi wouldn't do well in a busy home with loud fast children because she would be scared of them. She gets along well with cats, though, and doesn't chase them. She is good with other dogs of all sizes and plays with them when she isn’t coming to you for love. She loves to cuddle up on your lap or in your bed at night! She is simply a loving little doll. Bambi is very calm and well-behaved. She is good on a leash as well. Bambi needs a quiet home without a lot of noise or strange people coming over all the time for her to feel safe and comfortable. She is very sweet and not aggressive at all, even when scared. She would do best in a home with another dog or where she has contact with her owner throughout the day. because they are home She wouldn’t do well left alone for a full workday without a canine companion. Bambi is a loyal companion once she gets to know you and will show you love and affection. She would do best with somewhere like a patio or a yard so she can go out as she does now to do her business. This little doll is a lovable, cuddly, and trusting little girl when she gets to know you. Given some time and patience, she will warm up to someone willing to give her the loving and secure home that she deserves. Bambi is being fostered in Oakland. Ca. Her adoption fee is $275.00. Arrangements to meet our dogs occur after an application has been received. Please contact us at dogzonerescue@yahoo.com for more information about this great gal or for an application to adopt.
