About Grateful Dogs Rescue
Grateful Dogs Rescue, a non-profit organization was founded 20 years ago by Michelle Parris, a former San Francisco Animal Care & Control volunteer. She made it her mission to rescue "un-adoptable dogs," i.e. dogs not made available for adoption because they needed some medical help or some behavioral training. Rather than letting these dogs be euthanized, Grateful Dogs saves as many as possible by fostering these special-needs dogs with volunteers until a loving home is found.
