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.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Jeff Probst is here and he's ready to run the show! This dapper gentleman arrived on the scene with an inquisitive air and a take charge attitude - all of Muttville's a stage and his Survivor-themed companions merely players. Velvety black fur, a gently frosted face, and pointy ears that'll have you thinking he's part rabbit - Mr. Probst is the total package! He spent seven years working on his showmanship and patter, and we may be biased, but we think it's perfect. Jeff Probst is a singular senior who is ready to strut his stuff and show you what he can do, and he'd love an audience. Would you like a seat? Here's some notes from his foster: Jeff is full of love. He loves sitting on laps, he loves exploring the backyard, he loves going out for walks, and he absolutely loves meal time. He’s a very affectionate little guy and is happiest on laps. He does well on public transport or going for rides in the car and can walk a couple of miles. At 7 years old he can easily handle stairs and getting up and down off of the couch. Jeff is a smart dog and quickly learned the rules of the house. He is like an adolescent boy. Lots of energy on walks and at meal time but happy to just hang out at home. (If he had thumbs, I'm sure he would be playing video games!) He likes hanging out with my senior guy, who is about his size, but he would do fine as an only dog as well. He is sleeping through the night and pretty calm in the evenings. He is making great progress on housebreaking. He is very treat motivated and this has helped significantly with his leash reactivity (which seems to be with only big dogs at this point) but crossing the street when big dogs are coming has worked wonders. He sleeps well through the night and is a cute burrower. He loves curling up under a pile of blankets, so it’s best to pat fluffy blankets before sitting down! He prefers when his humans are around, but we have been practicing alone time, and while he may be a bit worried at the start, he does a good job waiting for his humans to come home. Jeff may have grown up in a loving situation without a lot of clear house rules but he is a good student as we teach him the rules of our house. We are continuing to work on some of the Ps and Qs of living in a home. Great news is that he has a great attitude and is a good learner. He will continue to need positive reinforcement on some things but he is so easy to handle that temporary accommodations while he gets up to speed are a breeze. We love Jeff Probst and you will too!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Bean is a wonderful 7 year-old, 17 lb terrier mix. Bean is a classic terrier, with a big personality in a little body! He is energetic and loves hiking, playing with toys, and is very smart. At the end of the day, Bean loves cuddling and making blanket forts. Bean is an intelligent guy. He knows all basic commands, and even knows how to dance on command. He is food motivated, crate trained, potty trained, and learns new things quickly. Even though Bean has plenty of energy, he is pretty low maintenance and does well around an hour of exercise per day. Bean also does well left alone at home. Bean does well with other dogs, and seems indifferent around cats. Bean would do best in a home without children under 12 years old.
