Story
Mr. Little Potato Head! What a great name. To our best knowledge, probably a maltese poodle mix, he's approximately 3 years old and weights about 14 pounds. He is great with people and children. He walks well on a leash but does like to bark at other dogs, but will settle when you correct him. He loves to eat and is very food/treat motivated. He must have had a family before as he settled in with his foster very easily. He does well in car rides and loves his daily walks. Are you ready to incorporate him into your family!? SF Bay Area Adoptions only, please email if interested.

Muppet is a sweet, shy boy who may take a little time to warm up to you, but once he does, he'll be your loyal companion for life! He's looking for a patient, understanding family who will give him the time and space he needs to feel safe and loved. While Muppet can be a little reserved at first, he's incredibly gentle and has a heart of gold. With the right environment and some gentle encouragement, he'll blossom into the loving, affectionate dog you've been waiting for. Muppet would thrive in a calm home with people who are familiar with shy dogs and can provide him with a sense of security. Come meet him today and see if you're the one who can help him come out of his shell! Primary Color: White Weight: 10 Age: 2yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
  Meet Falkor – The Resilient Maltipoo Falkor’s story almost ended before he ever got the chance to truly live. This sweet 3-to-5-year-old Maltipoo found himself in the shelter, terrified, matted beyond belief, and with his skin in terrible condition. The stress of it all started to break him, and before he even had a chance to shine, he landed on the euthanasia list. That’s where we stepped in. With one shave, one warm bath, and a little bit of love, Falkor transformed into a brand-new dog. Now, he’s happy, playful, and full of life—like he was always meant to be. He might be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, he’s nothing but love. He’s all about butt scratches, gentle kisses, and zooming around with joy. Falkor is potty trained, energetic, and finally learning what it means to be cared for. He’s rocking his cone post-neuter, but that’s just temporary—his sweet personality? That’s forever. This little survivor is looking for a home that will never let him go through what he’s been through again. Could that be you? #RescueDog #AdoptDontShop #FalkorsNewBeginning #FromEuthListToLoved All dogs/puppies will be spayed/neutered unless spay/neuter contract is signed with additional deposit.

Story
FOSTER OPTION: This little young guy was found by a Good Samaritan on a cold and rainy morning, and brought to Jelly's Place. Though he is at Jelly's Place, He is on a stray hold with Contra Costa County until 3/14/25. If not claimed by then he is available for adoption. Monty is a young boy, approx 6-10 months, and was very emaciated when he arrived. He will continue to thrive in a foster home. The foster home should have someone home during the day, and be willing to work on his potty training and understand the needs of a puppy. If interested, please complete an application at www.jellysplace.org.

These pups are in San Francisco, California too!

Story
This little gem is a medical special needs pup. Sasha is a very sweet and easy going 3 year old Bichon mix; she is about 11 pounds. She loves all people and dogs and enamors everyone she meets. She walks well on leash, sleeps through the night in her crate, and does relatively well with her alone time. She has an adorable way of getting one's attention and loves to play with other dogs. Unfortunately Sasha was most likely hit by a car at some point and her spine is broken in her lower back. She has full use of all her legs, but she's completely incontinent. Her foster assists her to empty her bladder 3-4 times per day (easy to do, and a potential adopter could be taught to do it). If she is assisted to empty her bladder, her diaper stays dry and her fur stays clean. Due to her condition, Sasha is prone to UTIs, but helping her to empty her bladder regularly decreases this potential. Luckily she doesn't show any signs of pain and has a full life expectancy. Sasha will need to live with someone who is home most of the time. She'd probably do best in a home with a yard, so she doesn't always have to be in a diaper, but she would also be an easy dog for an apartment dweller as she doesn't necessarily have to be walked first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Since Sasha is "non-shedding, she will need regular grooming. 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 Sasha is $200. If you are interested in adopting Sasha, 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. We will consider applicants outside the 9-county San Francisco Bay Area for Sasha, as long as applicant is able to travel to Oakland for meet and greet, and pick up.
