Meet Gracie, a delightful hound mix born under the starry skies of September 15, 2021! 🌟 Gracie is a heartthrob with a heartworm diagnosis that might sound alarming, but fear not! Our loving rescue is ready to treat her, so let that not deter you from adopting this beautiful girl. Her loving spirit is adoptable within an hour's drive from Wake Forest, NC, making it easier for her to find her forever home. Gracie is the kind of dog who lights up every room she enters! 🌞 She’s friendly with other dogs and has never met a stranger she doesn’t like. Kids adore her, and she believes everyone is her new best friend. Just wait until you see those tail wags! 🐕 So far, she hasn’t had the chance to meet any cats, which remains a mystery—but imagine the adventures ahead! This lovebug comes fully equipped to make life easier for her forever human family. Gracie is house trained and possesses impressive recall skills, which is a joy for any pet parent! She’s a quick learner and is building her confidence on the leash, though she sometimes appreciates a gentle nudge in the right direction. Her ideal backyard is a fenced haven (4 feet or higher) where she can frolic and play, burning off all that playful energy! Gracie is social and thrives on love and attention, making her perfect as an only dog or as part of a canine family. However, she’d particularly flourish with a fellow four-legged friend to share the love and laughter. Like many hounds, she’s a curious soul, and yes, she can find herself in a bit of mischief—but that’s just part of her charm! 😉 Just keep an eye on your kitchen counter; those treats can be too tempting for a clever girl like her! Tossing in a basket of toys and chews will also engage her curious mind, keeping her entertained for hours. Now, regarding car rides—hold onto your hats! 🎢 While she’s good in the car, it’s still a new experience for Gracie. She may get a bit car sick, and that’s something we’re working on as she adjusts to this new-world experience on wheels. Sweet, social, and bursting with joy, Gracie is dreaming of a forever home filled with love, laughter, and belly rubs. If you have a space in your heart (and your home) for a vibrant and loving companion, Gracie is ready to bring endless tail wags, giggles, and affection into your life! 💖 To make Gracie part of your family, remember you must apply through the Buddy App! This sweet girl is waiting for you to fill out that application and start the journey of a lifetime together. ✨
