| San Francisco: MUTTVILLE |
| Muttville is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization dedicated to improving the lives of senior dogs. On a local level, Muttville rescues senior dogs and finds them foster homes or gives them hospice. On a global level, Muttville provides information about caring for older dogs and support for people who do. Through associations with shelters and other animal organizations, Muttville finds senior dogs that have been given up and are not likely to find adoptive homes. Through outreach and networking, Muttville finds suitable foster homes for these dogs. Ultimately, Muttville will have its own facility to house dogs that are not yet placed, or that are unlikely to be placed. |

Meet Chula, in the photo at the left. She's current residing at Muttville, and is a very sweet, big, older girl, very mellow, house trained and a cuddle bug. We recently rescued her from San Francisco Animal Care & Control, where her guardians had taken her requesting she be euthanized. We knew she had lots of love left to give, however. She likes little dogs and is supposed to do okay with cats, also. She loves people the most! Muttville has too much going on, including way too many big dogs, and it has not worked out for her here. We may have found a place for her that won't be available until mid- Feb. If you are looking for a loving, couch-potato of a dog, please let us know. She is 10 years old and is in pretty good health. She has some arthritis in her back legs and needs only short walks, and she would definitely prefer a home where someone is around a lot. She is also okay with stairs. You can read her story on the Muttville website. Phone: 415 350 6700 or E-mail sherri@muttville.org |
| San Francisco: GRATEFUL DOGS RESCUE |
Grateful Dogs Rescue, a non-profit organization, was founded over ten years ago 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 to the general public. Rather than letting these dogs be euthanized, Grateful Dogs Rescue saves as many as possible by fostering them until a loving home is found. Many of those who volunteer for Grateful Dogs Rescue continue to donate their time by working with the animals at SF ACC. Here are two of the dogs currently available for adoption from Grateful Dogs Rescue. For information on other dogs, please see the list of available dogs. Agency/Location/Contact info: Grateful Dogs Rescue, San Francisco, CA.; Telephone: 415.587.1121. E-mail: info@gratefuldogsrescue.org

| San Francisco: Rocket Dog Rescue |
| Founded in 2001 by Bay Area animal activist Pali Boucher, Rocket Dog Rescue is a 501c3 nonprofit corporation supported completely by donations. This all-volunteer, home-based organization guarantees that your donations are completely focused on saving dogs. Rocket Dog Rescue places non-aggressive dogs into temporary foster homes where they are socialized, spay/neutered, vaccinated, and treated for any medical or behavioral conditions that would otherwise limit their adoptability. Here are three of the wonderful dogs currently available for adoption from Rocket Dog Rescue. If you don't see the dog of your dreams here, try Rocket Dog Rescue's twice-monthly, Sunday-afternoon adoption fairs in Noe Valley and the Castro District. |
