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
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.
