🌟 Meet Gracie, the beautiful soul who’s been through the wringer but is finally ready to open her heart to a forever home! 💖 Imagine the fear and uncertainty she and her sister Leah faced when they first arrived at our shelter — two little pups so traumatized that they barely dared to lift their heads off the ground, trembling in each other's comforting embrace. But oh, how far they’ve come! Thanks to the love and care of dedicated volunteers and staff, Gracie is now blossoming into the gentle, sweet hound mix she is meant to be! At just 1.2 years old, this lovely girl weighs around 40 lbs and sports a gorgeous tan coat adorned with touches of white. While her eyes still tell tales of her past, every day she tries harder to be brave and find joy in the little things. One amazing volunteer has helped her experience the joy of sunbathing and rolling in the grass — and you can see the happiness awaiting her! 🌞🌼 Gracie's spirit is shining through, displaying the affectionate qualities that make her the dog of a lifetime. She's never shown aggression, instead exuding a placid and submissive nature. Though she’s still learning the ropes of leash walking, she’ll thrive best in a home with a fenced yard, where she can feel secure and explore her surroundings. Plus, having a canine companion could lend her a little more confidence! 🐶💞 While Gracie and Leah share an unbreakable bond, we do believe Gracie would be perfectly fine on her own — the right home environment can work wonders for her. A home filled with kindness, patience, and perhaps even older kids or someone working from home would be just what this lovely girl needs to complete her transformation. Imagine being the beacon of light that helps Gracie flourish into her best self! 🏡✨ If you feel a tug at your heartstrings and see Gracie joining your family, take the first step and apply through the Buddy App. Remember, she has a lot of love to give and a journey ahead that she can’t wait to share with her forever family! 💕🐾
