Four Dogs In Animal Cruelty Trial Taken In By Grateful Dogs Rescue

Dog Lover - Thursday, October 11, 2012
The San Francisco District Attorney's office has decided to prosecute in the case of the four emaciated Lab/Weimaraners (who turned out to be Golden/Weims) that Grateful Dogs Rescue took in June.  GDR fostered and adopted out two of the dogs (Harry and Katie) and the other 2 (Annie and Rose) were transferred to another rescue group near Auburn where they are still in foster care.

 Before

 Now

Ellie Sadler, the San Francisco Animal Control officer who seized the four dogs, had told Grateful Dogs Rescue that the trial was starting this week.  Here is a link to an article appearing on SFGate today and in tomorrow's San Francisco Chronicle:

Harry Needs A Foster Home

Dog Lover - Monday, June 04, 2012

If you've read the past few blog posts, you know that Grateful Dogs Rescue has been looking for foster homes for four Lab/Weimaraner mixes who were rescued from a cruelty case and need training and socialization to get ready to be adopted into a new home.

It looks like Grateful Dogs Rescue has found San Francisco Bay area fosters for Annie and Katie. Now we really need to find a foster home for Harry.

Harry is doing so well. He gave the Grateful Dogs Rescue evaluator a kiss through his kennel bars today and it was the first day she had met him. He really needs a foster home!

Read more about these dogs the GDR blog posts on Saturday, June 2nd and Thursday, May 31st.

If you can foster Harry, please fill out a foster application here

More About The Lab/Weimaraner Mixes Who Need Caring Fosters.

(Also see blog post of Thursday, May 31st.)
Annie, Rose, Katie, & Harry are at risk due to not being able to pass their behaviorals.
These formerly abused pups are on their last weekend. Two of the females maybe too shy to save, and Grateful Dogs Rescue has committed to taking the other female. The male has come very far and seems salvageable but we need a foster to step up and offer him a home to rescue him.

Are wondering what it means to be too shy to save, and does that mean they won't make good pets. Well, no, but they will be major projects and will take someone with dog experience. Everything is new and startles them. Taking them for walks is difficult because they get scared so easy. Of the two very shy females, one is a bit less shy than the other. 

Things that we take for granted as part of house noise will send them trembling. One of our GDR volunteers had a foster dog that hid trembling every time the central heating turned on. These dogs may want to hide in a dark corner for a few days before being ready to venture out.



The two girls kennelled together are very bonded and are calmer together in the park and play wonderfully. The taller skinnier more submissive one (her name is Annie) does better than the other outside solo on walks. All four dogs need further exposure to new things and places. Harry already knows sit and down and is quite the smart boy and furthest along in socialization.

if you are experienced with dogs and can give any of these four the patient attention and training they need for a new life, please fill out a foster application at http://gratefuldogsrescue.org/foster-application

URGENT: Foster Homes Needed for Four Young Lab Mixes

Dog Lover - Thursday, May 31, 2012

Grateful Dogs Rescue has an URGENT need for foster homes for three female and one male Weinaramer/Lab mixes from a cruelty case. They had been locked up in a cage and starved. They need further socialization of city life and the outdoors, but have come a long way with the help of volunteers. They are fourteen months old and 2-4 foster homes are needed or even another rescue who can take them. 

Harry loves fetching squeaky toys while Katie is very affectionate. Katie is currently limping but there are no broken bones and should be back to normal with rest. Annie is the most submissive of the three but does well on her walks outside. Rose is very outgoing in the kennel but the most skittish on her outside walks though she's improved simply within the second walk.

To foster one or more of these dogs, contact Grateful Dogs Rescue at 415 587 1121 or email info@gratefuldogsrescue.org. Fill out a foster application at http://gratefuldogsrescue.org/foster-application

Grateful Dogs Rescue pays for all medical. And if your GDR foster dog needs training help, GDR can provide that, too.

 

If you are willing to foster either Harry, Annie, Rose, or Katie, please fill out a foster application here: http://gratefuldogsrescue.org/FosterADogWithGratefulDogsRescue

Yellow Lab Mix Needs A Foster Home

Dog Lover - Thursday, May 03, 2012

Grateful Dogs Rescue is looking for someone in the San Francisco bay area to foster Maximus, a four year old yellow lab mix (maybe a little bit of pit in there).  He is active, loves to play ball, loved being out running around in the yard on a beautiful day.  Basically, wants to be a big lap dog!  He was very interested in the assortment of stuffed toys left in the yard.  Walks nicely on leash, very responsive to commands.
