Story
Blackjack is our medium-sized black-and-tan terrier and a true country boy with a heart painted in broad, joyful strokes. With his perfectly contrasted coat—nature’s own chiaroscuro—and eyes that sparkle like polished onyx, he’s a living study in charm. Blackjack loves the simple masterpieces in life: fresh air, rambling strolls, good dog friends, and anyone willing to offer a scratch behind the ears. He’s as down-to-earth as a well-worn sketchbook and just as full of character. Easygoing, affectionate, and always ready to pose for his next “portrait,” Blackjack is the kind of companion who turns everyday moments into small works of art. Ready to bring a little country-chic inspiration home? Blackjack is your muse. Here's some notes from his foster: Blackjack has been an absolute dream. He is the perfect amount of energy and a couch potato. He is excited for walks and follows me around the house, but when I settle into the couch, he just lies at my feet on the rug. He knows the command of sit, and I am suspicious that he knows a few more tricks. Blackjack clearly was loved very much in a former home and is just looking for his final forever. Blackjack LOVES people -he wants to greet everyone on the street and did not bark once at people or dogs on our walks. He is a strong, high energy (especially for his age), highly affectionate, and very intelligent dog. He follows me around the house and takes every opportunity to snuggle up. He seems very trainable, it only took a couple of times for him to learn to go up and down the staircase and to not follow me into the bathroom. Blackjack is an active boy carrying a cheerful and happy energy. He is also able to chill when he sees me busy and not paying attention to him (i.e., work from home). He is potty-trained and will just wait by the front door when he has to go out. He slept on my bed at my feet and did not bother me at all in the night. He can't seem to jump very well, but will gladly be picked up to join the party. He does not seem interested in toys. Eating-wise, he has an amazing appetite and will scarf down his food quickly. He seems very food motivated, but will not steal your food unless offered. He can easily jump up onto the couch and bed. Butt scratches are his favorite thing. As far as fetch he likes to chase something that is thrown but can't quite figure out how to bring it back. He gets a little excited when we see other dogs on walks but as soon as they walk away or is redirected he doesn’t fixate and moves on easily.

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
If you’re looking for a peppy little brown and white pup with endearing ears that curl over his adorable little face, we have the mutt for you: Gershwin! This cute little guy will compose you symphonies in exchange for treats; he may seem shy (a genius like Gershwin takes time to write his music), he can be drawn out of his music mode with a yummy snack. Gershwin walks with a bouncy little rhythm that will have you doubting his senior status, his little paws skim lightly over the ground as he sort of floats along with the power of positivity. This sweet old boy is composing a sonata called “The Search for a Forever Home” that he’d love to share with you. Here's some notes from his foster: Gershwin is such a sweetie and a cuddle bug. He is a very active boy. He walks well on leash. Is now eating his food very well, in fact, he cleans his plate and really likes kibble. He is a strong, fast walker. He is doing well with potty training He has no problem with the car. He learned steps and is now very proficient on going up and down them. He loves other dogs and wants to be shoulder to shoulder walking with my dog and play with all the dogs he sees. He is really just wanting to play and interact with the other dogs. He has gotten my grumpy old man dog to play a little even. He is fine home alone. He does not bark but just does this whimper little whine. He has been sleeping with us in the bed, but I think he would be fine in a crate or a bed on the floor. He is pretty independent and not a total velcro dog.
