Story
Give a warm round of applause for Improv! This scruffy, sandy blonde senior is always ready to keep the good times rolling. With plenty of energy and spunk for his age, he loves being the star of the show, which means soaking up attention, pets, and smiles wherever he goes. Improv gets along great with other dogs and brings his happy, “go with the flow” spirit to every scene. Life with him is unscripted, joyful, and full of heart! Here's some notes from his foster: Improv is a sweet good boy who loves head scratches and kitchen scraps. He's highly food motivated and less interested in toys. This senior pup is high energy and loves to go on walks to meet other furry friends. He loves meeting other dogs, no matter the size. Improv does well in the car, on walks, and during bath time. He does get a little sad home alone, so I think he would do well with another furry friend at home. Improv loves head and face scratches but prefers not to be picked up when already comfortable in bed.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cleo is a one-eyed wonder and has completely forgotten about losing an eye in a dog attack.  Agile and athletic, Cleo is a 12 lb., 2 yr-old Terrier mix and displays Terrier behavior such as loving to play with toys, loving to go for long walks and is inquisitive about anything new in her world. Cleo came from a situation where she was under-socialized and displays fearful behavior. We are working on behavior training and she is becoming much calmer.  Little Cleo is potty trained with regular potty breaks.   Cleo is a one or 2 person dog, and makes friends with new people very slowly. She lives OK with a companion dog, and an ocassiional dog visitor, but we think she would prefer to be an only dog in her future home. Due to her young age and training, Cleo will age into a proper little companion. 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 Cleo is $300. If you are interested in adopting Cleo, 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. See our other available dogs at  https://www.gratefuldogsrescue.org/available-dogs/ September 19, 2025, 11:42 pm

Story
Bugsy is a great buddy to have around. He is about 18 lbs and around 6- 7 years old. He enjoys going on walks and loves to wander around in the yard in his wheels or scooting along, play with his toys, happy all snuggled up with his people, and just hanging around. Bugsy loves the toys at his foster home and doesn’t mind sharing them. He is the sweetest and most loving guy you will ever meet. He has been around all sizes and breeds of dogs and gets along great with them He enjoys the company of other dogs but he would be just as happy to be an only dog if his person was around most of the time to keep him company. If not then he needs a canine companion for company. Bugsy is very affectionate but doesn’t require a ton of attention to be content.  He is pretty low-maintenance and will happily follow your lead. Bugsy doesn’t use his back legs but do not be fooled since he is still an active guy and can go many places with his wheels or rear harness. He is very good around young kids and lives with one now. Bugsy is exceptionally loving and eager to please. He knows what he is being told and if you are looking for a smarty to be part of your family he is the guy. He will bring lots of warmth and terrier-silliness to your home. Give him a chance and he will steal your heart. Bugsy also needs a new foster home if not adopted. He is now being fostered in Belmont, CA and his adoption fee is $275. 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 guy or for an application to adopt.

Kobi

Jack Russell Terrier Scottie, Scottish Terrier

Male, Adult
San Francisco, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Kobi is a super sweet guy who is very loving and really smart. He is also a hugger. He is about 3 years old and 17lbs with short legs. He catches on to what you are telling him fast and responds pretty quickly to it. He gets along great with all the dogs in his foster home and settled into the pack in a week. Kobi loves to run around with the ball in the yard, sunbathe, and do the zoomies. In the house, he likes to sit next to you and keep you company wherever you are. He is a loyal little guy, and you matter most in his life. He loves to be held like a baby and will stay like that as long as you want. He is good with older dog-savvy children, but he can get annoyed if they do not leave him alone when he wants to be and will grump. He is a very good boy who just has a lot to say. He is also a great watchdog. He will bark when he hears noises near his home, so he would not do well in an apartment building. Kobi is house-trained, walks well on a leash, rides in the car well, sleeps in his own bed, and loves to be covered! He mostly just hangs out, and he would be a good addition to a home with another or multiple dogs. He wouldn't do well as an only dog with his parents gone at work all day, since it is clear he loves to have others around to be with. Kobi is being fostered in Santa Clara, CA. His adoption fee is $325.00 Please contact us for more info about this sweet boy or an application to adopt at dogzonerescue@yahoo.com Arrangements to meet our dogs occur after an application has been received.
