From foster to forever
Grateful Dogs Rescue is the oldest all-breed rescue group in San Francisco. Since 1990 our mission has been to save the lives of local dogs, primarily at San Francisco Animal Care and Control, that are at risk of euthanasia.

The annual Pet Food Express Virtual Pet Fair has begun, and is running the whole month of September. We’re participating again this year!
The Virtual Pet Fair is a fantastic chance to find your new best friend, and also offers a great mix of both virtual and in-person events throughout the month. Check out the events schedule for happenings near you as well as virtual ones. And don’t forget to virtually swing by our booth too!
Fostering is a vital part of the process of giving a rescue a second chance. For many dogs it is the place where they learn to feel safe and secure. It is also a very rewarding experience for the foster parent. In the words of one of our volunteers:
“We thoroughly enjoy seeing the transformation from a sometimes sad, lonely, sick or un-trusting dog into a beautiful pet ready to share their love with another family and we love giving the gift of a best friend to other people and families.”
