PRINGLE

Fox Terrier (Wirehaired) Mixed Breed (Medium)

Good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Meet Ruffles and Pringle 🐾🐾 Ruffles and Pringle are two lively, high-energy sisters with big personalities, each looking for her own forever home. These fun-loving girls thrive in an active household and would do best with dog-savvy children ages 10 and up since they can be jumpy and mouthy. They are high energy pups who love to play, but they need slow, careful introductions to other dogs and are not good with cats. On leash, they can be jumpy and sometimes pull, so consistent training and guidance will help them shine. While they came in together, Ruffles and Pringle do not need to be adopted together, and each is ready to find a home where she can get the attention and care she deserves. With the right family, either girl will bring joy, laughter, and companionship for years to come. 🐶💛

Story
Kirby is a gorgeous 6 yo scruffy terrier mix, with the most beautiful amber eyes. He is a happy dog who loves to play with squeaky toys, take walks and relax on the couch with his favorite hoomans. He loves to dig for buried treasure and will let you dress him up in costumes for the different holidays. He is smart, walks great on a leash, is food motivated and eager to please. Kirby would make a great walking companion, but he's just as happy to lay at your feet, amuse himself with a toy or just relax until you are ready to take a break. Kirby is NOT a first time adopter dog. He needs a special and experienced adopter, preferably a female, who is patient and knowledgeable about scared, timid dogs. Kirby is nervous when meeting new people and will require multiple visits with a prospective adopter before being ready to go to a new home. However, once Kirby trusts you he is loving, affectionate and the best company. Kirby is a staff and volunteer favorite. One volunteer has called him the love of your life kind of dog. Kirby would prefer to be the only animal in the family, but we don't think that is too much to ask. He has so much love to give and will thrive in the right home! . Kirby is UTD on vaccines, microchipped and neutered. Applications are being accepted and qualified applicants will be contacted. Half of Kirby's adoption fee is sponsored by a Jelly Place's volunteer.

Story
Hello! I am looking for experienced adopter for an adorable dog. She was a stray so she is shy at first but once she warms up to you she is sweet and cuddly. She has shown no aggression at all, ever. She is learning how to walk on a leash but still needs more training. She is housetrained and lets us know when she needs to go outside to potty. She will need a secure and fenced in yard as she loves to be outside and adventure. Getting her to come back in is sometimes a challenge because she likes to be outside so much. She gets along with my elderly dog and my cats but I do not know how she would be with other animals as I do not know her history. She has never shown any aggression as far as I can tell. She loves my 11 year old. However, I have not seen her with smaller children. She loves attention and always wants to be near her person. She is always there to greet us when we come home. She will make the perfect family member for someone and just wants to be loved and give love back.

Story
Rex is a 4-year-old wirehair terrier who came to us from a heartbreaking hoarding case in the Central Valley. Despite his past, Rex’s true terrier spirit shines through—he’s energetic, determined, and full of personality. True to his wirehair terrier roots, Rex is smart, bold, and independent. He likes to know what’s going on and isn’t afraid to voice his opinions. He can be a bit stubborn at times (classic terrier!), but that determination also means he’s engaged, alert, and deeply loyal once he bonds with you. With patience and consistency, Rex is a truly lovable companion who thrives on structure and routine. Rex would do best in an adult-only home, and this is actually a huge plus for him. Without the unpredictability of children, Rex can fully relax, settle in, and build a strong, trusting bond with his person. He’s the kind of dog who will flourish in a calm, confident household where his boundaries are respected and his personality is appreciated. He’s best suited for someone who understands terriers—or is excited to learn—and who enjoys an active, interactive dog with character. Rex isn’t looking for chaos; he’s looking for his person, a home where he can feel safe, understood, and loved. If you’re seeking a loyal sidekick with spunk, intelligence, and a big heart beneath that wiry coat, Rex might just be your perfect match. 💛

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
Aptly named, as this lovely lady will make you feel like dancing, Polka has burst onto the scene with the wiry hair characteristic of a Cairn terrier. While generally regarded as a bad idea, Polka looks a bit like she stuck a fork in an electrical socket, with the bouncy energy to match. She’s a senior sweetheart who is never more excited than when you walk in the room with her meals, but she’s equally enthusiastic about settling in for a snuggle. Polka may be tiny, but this gorgeous gal has lots of heart and tons of love to give. She wants to find a forever home where her entrance into a room is always the main event, so if you’re looking for a superstar, come dance with Polka!

Story
Bugsy is a great buddy to have around. He is about 18 lbs and around 6- 7 years old. He enjoys going on walks and loves to wander around in the yard in his wheels or scooting along, play with his toys, happy all snuggled up with his people, and just hanging around. Bugsy loves the toys at his foster home and doesn’t mind sharing them. He is the sweetest and most loving guy you will ever meet. He has been around all sizes and breeds of dogs and gets along great with them He enjoys the company of other dogs but he would be just as happy to be an only dog if his person was around most of the time to keep him company. If not then he needs a canine companion for company. Bugsy is very affectionate but doesn’t require a ton of attention to be content.  He is pretty low-maintenance and will happily follow your lead. Bugsy doesn’t use his back legs but do not be fooled since he is still an active guy and can go many places with his wheels or rear harness. He is very good around young kids and lives with one now. Bugsy is exceptionally loving and eager to please. He knows what he is being told and if you are looking for a smarty to be part of your family he is the guy. He will bring lots of warmth and terrier-silliness to your home. Give him a chance and he will steal your heart. Bugsy also needs a new foster home if not adopted. He is now being fostered in Belmont, CA and his adoption fee is $275. Arrangements to meet our dogs occur after an application has been received. Please contact us at dogzonerescue@yahoo.com for more information about this great guy or for an application to adopt.
