Story
Buddy lost his Mom and Dad last year and we were hoping we would be able to keep him. He is 9 yrs old and weighs 9 lbs. He is the sweetest , most loving dog you will ever find. My sister and I have realized, Buddy needs a home with a yard and maybe children that can keep up with his energy level. He is very obedient and loves everyone. He sings with sirens and loves attention, which is something he can never get enough of. He is just a wonderful dog.

Story
Meet Hopper ❤️‍🔥🐾 Hopper is a 5yr old, 11lb, Rat Terrier/mix. Hopper is a super sweet boy. Hopper is an active fella, that likes to go for walks, likes to run and play with toys, and likes to play with other dogs. Even though Hopper has old fractures on his hind legs, that doesn’t slow him down, he is faster than any other dog here at the rescue and loves to run around and play. Hopper gets along with all dogs of all sizes and ages, but likes to chase chickens. Hopper also loves to be held and loved on. Hopper may not know many commands,but that is ok, he is treat and love motivated and will come running as soon as you call him. Love and affection is what he craves. Hopper is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and up to date on his rabies vaccine. If you are interested in meeting Hopper, please fill out an application at www.broketailrescue.org.

Story
Cosette is about 2 years old and 13 pounds. Cosette earned the nickname “Cozy” because she truly embraces the art of slow mornings and long naps. She never pops out of bed without a full routine of big stretchies and sleepy squinty eyes. She sleeps deeply (with lots of adorable dreaming) and loves resting her chin on your leg.   Her personal motto might be 'sleep hard, play hard' because while she rarely uses her bark (I’ve only heard it during her dreams!), she becomes a happy little noise machine during playtime when her spicier side comes out. She absolutely loves squeaky toys — especially if she can manage to find the squeaker herself.   She is still working on her play manners and can become a little rough and overly nippy when she gets going, so she would do best in a home without young children. She responds well to calm, consistent correction and has already made progress. When very excited, stressed, or overwhelmed, she may want to hump you, but this behavior has *mostly* subsided with gentle verbal commands and as she’s gotten settled in.   Cosette loves other dogs and wants to greet every pup she sees. She would likely thrive in a home with a playful dog friend to help her burn off energy and continue building confidence.   Training-wise, she doesn’t seem to know basic cues like “sit” yet, but she’s attentive and eager to connect. She knows “no,” responds well to it, and has decent recall to kissy noises. She is fully house-trained and has had zero accidents in her foster home.   At her core, Cosette is a sweet, sensitive girl who wants to feel safe and connected. She’s looking for a loving home that will give her clear guidance, plenty of squeaky toys, lots of ear scratches, hopefully a pup friend to play with, and most importantly, a cozy spot right next to her person. 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 Cosette is $300. If you are interested in adopting Cosette, 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
If you’re looking for a mutt that is straight to the point and never strays from her objective, Dilly Dally may not be right for you – she thinks the journey is more important than the destination and often takes an (admittedly fun) detour! Miss Dilly Dally is the eldest of three siblings, and the other two have followed her to Muttville – you’re not seeing double (or triple!), there are, in fact, three beautiful brown and white darlings traipsing through HQ. This sweet senior has been an excellent big sister, but it’s tuckered her out – she now takes life at a more sedate pace. She would love to find a forever home where she can flourish in her golden years – do you have space to Dilly Dally? Here's some notes from her foster: Dilly Dally is very food oriented. She loves meal time and any snacks you may have to offer her! She absolutely loves to cuddling and be close to you, either by your side or in your lap.

Story
Just like her namesake, Cupcake is irresistibly sweet and impossible not to love! Cupcake is estimated to be about a year and a half old and is a darling girl who is quick to make herself comfy in your lap. She is a total snuggle-bug who is happiest when she can be all cozy on the couch with her foster family. While she can be a tad shy, she has blossomed in foster care and is eager to make new friends. Cupcake is fully grown and weighs about 20lbs. Cupcake came to us from our local shelter after she was surrendered with a couple of other dogs when their owner was no longer able to care for them. The other two dogs got adopted quickly, but due to her more bashful personality and being overwhelmed in the shelter, Cupcake struggled to find a home. We were happy to welcome her into the rescue, and she has been doing great in a foster home and has shown us what an amazing little girl she is. Cupcake is the epitome of a sweetheart. She is affectionate, loyal, cuddly, and oh-so cute! She quickly made herself at home in her foster home and has been a great little houseguest. She is a moderate-to-low energy girl who loves her walks around the arboretum, but also is content to spend most of the day sunbathing and keeping her foster mom company while she works from home. She would be a wonderful companion for someone who wants an easy-going cuddle buddy. Cupcake seems to have her basic manners training down. Cupcake previously lived with other small dogs and enjoyed making dog friends at the shelter, but has been more than happy to be the only dog in her foster home. She could do well living with other easygoing dogs, or as an only dog. We haven't seen Cupcake around cats, but she may do well living with dog-savvy cats after a slow introduction. Cupcake could make a wonderful addition to a family with kids 7 years and older. Cupcake has been doing very well with her housetraining using a dog door, but may have a few accidents while she is acclimating to a new home and routine. She has been doing well being crated for short periods and overnight. Cupcake prefers to only potty in a yard, so will need a home with a backyard. Cupcake is such a fabulous companion. If she sounds like the love you have been looking for, submit an application today!   Cupcake's adoption fee is $300.   A pply to adopt here!  https://form.jotform.com/52017002013129/   Applications are also available on the website (www.yolospca.org)  It can take up to 3-5 business days to hear back once you have submitted an application. The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit, foster home-based animal rescue organization and does not have a shelter. All our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes. Our adoption fees help us cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, microchip and registration, and rabies vaccination (if over 4 months of age at intake or spay/neuter) for all animals. Dogs are tested for heartworm, started on preventatives, and given a DAPP vaccination. Adult dogs are up to date on their vaccinations prior to adoption. Puppies will be current on the vaccinations appropriate to their age. The adopter is responsible for additional vaccinations as necessary after the adoption. For more information about an animal, please email dogs@yolospca.org. For more general questions, please see our website at www.yolospca.org. February 7, 2026, 7:37 pm
