Grateful Dogs Rescue, a non-profit organization, has a mission to rescue San Francisco ACC shelter dogs not made available for adoption. Rather than letting these dogs be euthanized, Grateful Dogs Rescue saves as many as possible by fostering them until a loving home is found.

Gracie The Flying Dog
"Gracie really lives up to her name. She was my first foster dog with Grateful Dogs Rescue who came to me after being deemed unadoptable by the SF/SPCA. I fully intended to help her reach a place where she felt loved and happy and safe. A place that would enable her to move on to her new forever home. I told myself that she belonged to someone else. I just needed to help her get there. When she arrived, she was afraid and aggressive. Understandably so, from my perspective. A little patience and love, that’s all that was needed. Well, three days later, I was in love! Her profile said that she didn’t like men. But then my son came over and she was star-struck-in-love!
Gracie has settled into our home beautifully. She’s very smart and learned the rules of the pack from my other two dogs very quickly. Smokey taught her how to use the doggie door when she needs to go outside. Now that she’s relaxed, Gracie is playful and affectionate! Because of her exuberance, we call her “Gracie the Flying Dog!” She’s everywhere at once wearing a happy smile. After a long day, she loves to burrow under the blankets, snuggle up close, and heave a sigh of contentment. Gracie if a true joy and a treasured member of our family."
Gracie is the top dog with the purple collar.
