About Gracie
Gracie is proof that age is just a number. At 11, she still greets each day like a puppy—always eager, tail wagging, and sporting a never-ending smile. Returned to rescue after her adopter’s situation changed, Gracie hasn’t lost her sunny attitude. She’s the kind of dog who’s equally content doling out affection on the couch or joining you for errands and car rides (she adores a good drive). Curiosity is in her nature, and she’s spent entire summers exploring every scent along Lake Union, swimming with a flotation vest, and enthusiastically retrieving anything from tennis balls to logs—though convincing her to relinquish her treasures onshore takes some gentle negotiation. Gracie wants to be the center of attention at home. While she’s polite with dogs on leash, she’s happiest as the only canine, soaking up all your love. She prefers a child-free home, given her aches and occasional stiffness from arthritis and spondylosis. Thankfully, these conditions are managed with affordable medication, and they don’t hold her back from enjoying life. She’s house trained, spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and her soft coat makes belly rubs a highlight for both of you. Ideally, Gracie would thrive with a backyard to explore, but she’s gotten plenty of fun in her foster’s houseboat environment. She’s a therapeutic presence in any space and deserves a peaceful, loving home for her golden years. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
