Story
Thelma is sweet, smart, energetic, loyal, and goofy! She is mostly housetrained and is working on her leash skills. She gets along well with other dogs and older kids. (She has not been introduced to cats yet.) She can be a bit anxious, so she probably needs someone who is mostly home. She loves her squeaky toys and playing tug-a-war with other dogs. Meet this sweetie by filling out a questionnaire and a volunteer will contact you. (JH) Thelma weighs 18 pounds.

Story
Pug / Dachshund Mix Age: ≈ 4 years old Female, spayed 15 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Cheerio came to the Sacramento County Shelter underweight and with an embedded foxtail in her neck. It was removed surgically, but post-op they had trouble stopping the bleeding. She tested negative for any blood clotting disorder - perhaps the surgery nicked an artery? Eventually, the bleeding stopped, but it left her anemic. The shelter needed a rescue group that specializes in medical cases to continue addressing her veterinary needs. Over time in foster care, her anemia improved and she gained her weight back. She is a very friendly, sweet dog. She likes attention and affection from her foster parents and volunteers. She likes roughhousing with the younger, larger dogs in her foster home. She doesn’t like being confined or kept away from the activities of the home. Crate training would be pretty difficult - lots of barking. Apartment living may not be the best option for her. We have no experience with her as an only dog. We would recommend that she go to a home with other playful, friendly dogs. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Story
We love Grin's crooked smile  and his super-soft fur. Grin is about 8 years old and currently a bit over 16 pounds. He loves people and is super affectionate with his person; he loves to cuddle and would like a home where he is allowed in the family bed. That said, he is not needy and he is crate trained and will sleep quietly all night in his crate. &#226&#128&#139Grin seems like a cross between a Puggle (Pug/Beagle) and   another breed. He has some of the looks of a Puggle, but not all. Grin lives with 3 other dogs and is great with them. He plays well with his foster sisters and respects the senior dog in the house. He would do fine with other dogs, or as an only dog. He is house trained and knows how to use a dog door. Grin walks well on leash and is great on neighborhood walks where other dogs are also on leash. He will bark at off-leash dogs that run towards him, his foster is working on this and he is doing very well, but he would not at this time do well in off-leash dog parks. He is fine meeting new dogs in his home or their home, and has made friends with some dogs he has met on walks (the key is when their people give him treats). Grin would be fine in a home with older, dog-savvy kids. He is fine with visiting children. If you are looking for love,  Grin may be the guy you are looking for.   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 Grin is $200. If you are interested in adopting Grin, 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
We know you’ve come to Muttville to find the perfect addition to your family, but if you also think that your sleep could be better, we have a little lady here that may be able to help with both! Sweet senior Sally is a snug (short for snuggly pug) whose snorts, breathing, and other pug sounds make for a splendid ASMR soundtrack. While Sally won’t be competing in any races (unless it’s falling asleep the fastest, she’s a gold medalist in that one), she also enjoys toddling around to explore the outside world. Sally really shines as a lap warmer though, there’s nothing she’d like better than to cuddle near someone for a snooze, and maybe some gentle scratches. Could you use a Sally in your life? Here's some notes from her foster: Sally is such a great pup. She loves to snooze and snuggle and can be hilariously pushy about your cuddle position. She has been a mom and you can tell she is the boss and in charge. She's potty trained and has had no accidents. She's very efficient when we go outside. She loves her food and it's her favorite time other than her morning, afternoon and evening naps. She does breathe loud, snores and has the cutest little bark. She loves all people; friendly, tolerant and bossy with other dogs; and was very respectful to my aunts cat.

Story
If long, slow walks and cuddles sound good to you, beautiful Bettina is your girl! This goofy girl charms everyone she meets with her sweetness. Bettina is about 50 pounds and she’s working on losing some weight. She has strong bull dog vibes and is a heavy breather, but only snores a bit (and she's a great sleeper). She is fully house-trained and does just fine when she’s home on her own. She doesn’t use a crate in her foster home, and does well just hanging out in gated areas. She’s still getting comfortable with walking with a harness and taking car trips, but her confidence is growing every day. Bettina gets excited when she dogs, but hasn’t had a lot of experience getting to know other dogs yet. She’s quick to join in a cuddle on the couch, and knows how to stay chill, she's both a great cuddle and work buddy! (AM)

Story
We got Max and Cheese from a breeder in December 2023, when he was still a puppy. From the start, he was gentle, curious, and very affectionate. He adjusted quickly to our home and routines and showed an easygoing, sweet nature right away. He likes being close, follows people from room to room, and is happiest when he’s near someone he trusts. As he’s grown, that sweetness has stayed consistent. He’s calm, attentive, and seems to sense when someone needs comfort. He doesn’t demand attention, but he’s always present. Over time, he became a steady part of daily life and a source of comfort for everyone in the house. After the divorce, our household became split, and our schedules changed in ways we didn’t anticipate. This transition has made it more difficult to consistently care for Max and Cheese and to provide the daily exercise and structure his breed benefits from. Coordinating time, energy, and responsibility across two households has been challenging.
