About Gracie Lou

Gracie Lou is a 14-year-old Poodle who ended up at a crowded shelter late in life, but she’s handled it with quiet resilience. She’s nearly deaf and blind, yet maneuvers confidently around her foster home and yard, never letting her age or limitations slow her down. Gracie Lou is a gentle, loving soul who thrives on affection. She gets along beautifully with people and other animals, but a calm, quiet home would suit her best—one where she can claim a lap, snooze on warm blankets, and enjoy her retirement as a pampered companion. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. Gracie Lou’s ideal household is one with patience and a slower pace, where she can enjoy her golden years with comfort and love. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
