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.
Meet Frida!
Ms. Frida is a love. This snuggle muffin will warm your heart, your lap, and be a wonderful companion for a single person or couple. She gives kisses and love freely. She wants to be near her person and will follow you everywhere. She is also excellent at staying by herself for several hours, is house trained, and has been called “a joy” by her dog sitter.
She would need an experienced dog owner to help her trust other dogs but she walks weekly with a friendly pack of dogs and responds well to training with treats and a patient hand.

Curious about fostering?
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.”
