Story
Adopted Kona Sep 2, 2018 from San Francisco SPCA. He was born May 2, 2018 and described as a part golden / lab retriever. We're recognized that Kona may have some Jack Russell traits as he has high energy, a tendency to dig, barks to alert us or when he hears sounds, stubborn, loyalty to family, and often displaying a "big dog in a small body". He's skittish, he doesn't like quick reaches to pet him. Kona would do well if he's the only pet in the home. He's loves to be petted. He can sleep inside or outside of a kennel on his pillow or where ever he's comfortable. He eats in the morning and evening and gets treats when training or obeys a command. My husband walks him once in the morning. He stays in our backyard and often runs and hops about like a bunny. Kona is comfortable in our home and choses places to lay down such as a dog pillow, near the fireplace (he likes warmth) and during the summer he likes sun bathing.

Meet our sweet 3-year-old Jack Russell Terrier a bundle of joy who incredibly playful, intelligent, and full of energy!

Story
Claire is a sweet Heeler-terrier mix,with a heart full of love. She is shy around new people and dogs, but once she feels safe, she opens up beautifully and blossoms into a loyal, affectionate companion.  Claire is a smart girl who already walks well on leash and is food motivated, ready to learn lots more! She's excitable and is learning to settle nicely in her wonderful foster home for plenty of cuddles. She does extremely well with mental stimulation, routine and regular activity. Her new home should be patient and ready to continue her training. With time, she will be a wonderful companion in an adult-only home to go on hikes, play fetch, and play with other dogs! Claire is full of beans and ready for a forever home that will include her in all their activities and adventures. If that sounds like you, apply today to meet her!

Jack Russell Terrier

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Tommy is such a cute, yet naughty boy. He is dog friendly and playful. This little boy is adorable and he is a project dog, not one for a busy household as he takes time to trust new people. Once he knows you he is a lover boy - but he is selective and it can take time. Tommy can be wary of strangers and does have some ankle biting in his past....Tommy is better suited for country living away from the random public and well meaning admirers. For more information on Tommy please call 707-459-4900.

Cleo

Jack Russell Terrier Chihuahua

Female, Young
San Francisco, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
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/ December 21, 2025, 3:38 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.
