About Gracie

Gracie is a beautiful 3-year-old sweetheart who weighs around 60 pounds and is hoping for a true forever home. She adores people and is especially gentle and loving with children. Gracie could be described as a hide-and-seek champion thanks to her keen sense of smell—she never misses a hidden toy. Her personality strikes a nice balance: content to lounge quietly at your feet but just as happy to be out with you enjoying a walk. Gracie’s already experienced the heartbreak of losing a home through no fault of her own, but her affectionate spirit remains unshaken. She’s been through difficult situations, including a past dog bite, which made her cautious, but with patient training she’s come through stronger—now calm and no longer reactive. Still, Gracie will be happiest as the only dog in her next home, where she gets all the attention. She hasn’t been introduced to cats. Gracie is house trained and will thrive with someone looking for a loyal, devoted companion that loves to cuddle. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
