Adoptions

Grateful Dogs Rescue – a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization – was founded in 1990 by Michelle Parris, a former SF Animal Care & Control (SF ACC) volunteer. She made it her mission to rescue SF ACC shelter dogs not made available for adoption and we continue that mission today. Rather than letting these dogs be euthanized, Grateful Dogs Rescue saves as many as possible by fostering them until loving homes are found. Our dedicated GDR volunteers also volunteer to work with the animals at SFACC. GDR is the oldest all breed rescue group in the San Francisco bay area. The Grateful Dogs Rescue adoption procedure is designed to find a good match between the dog and adopter. Our goal is a happy human and happy dog in a "forever home."

Our organization is committed to helping to clear shelters, taking owner surrenders, helping when we can for someone to keep their dog with financial assistance, training, food, medical etc. We do what we do because of "Gunter" . Gunter was a stray when he was taken in he had many aggression issues. Had he been surrendered to a shelter he would have likely been euthanized. We hope one day there will be no need for shelters until then we will rescue from shelters the unadoptables and provide them with the love and training they need until they find permanent homes.

foster home organization that focused on saving pregnant females, nursing females with puppies, and stray/orphaned/owner surrendered puppies. We do it because we are CRAZY in love with dogs!

Hearts for Rescue is a foster based rescue group who takes in animals without homes; we foster them, care for them, spay/neuter & find new homes through networking. We do this because there is a problem with unwanted animals in our areas that are without proper care and end up in a cycle of reproducing. We hope to make a positive impact on the number of unwanted animals by educating people about the proper care and about the importance of spaying and neutering.

Island Dog rescues dogs and all other pets both locally and in Freeport Bahamas. Each pet is in a home environment so we know how each pet will act in that environment and it allows us to match adopters with pets more easily. We provide all vetting, include obedience training in Groveland and welcome our adopters to all events. Some dogs are available for a foster to adopt and we even rescue wildlife.

We are the nation's oldest free-roam, no-kill shelter. Our goal is to provide a safe and happy environment for homeless pets until they are adopted. Our motto is "Their Home Until They're Home"

This organization started in July 14 as a foster based rescue and continued foster based until January of 17 when a shelter had to be built and it not be a foster based rescue anymore. A building was put up on my property to house dogs and know exactly what was going on with them. I am a retired Navy Petty officer with 24 years and I have a background of 4 and half years of Ohio Humane Agent with Darke County Humane society, I have an AA in Vet technician as well as I am in schooling for dog training. I rescue pit and that is my main passion but I rescue other dogs as well. I pull from kill shelters mostly and stopped recently taking owner surrenders. I do it because the dogs have no voice so I speak for them
