Gracie's hugs feel like home - now she just needs one of her own. When Gracie first came into our care, she was a shadow of the dog she is today. She was battling demodectic mange, her skin sore and patchy, her spirit worn down. But even then, her tail would thump when someone spoke kindly to her, and she'd lean in for a hug like she already knew people could be good. With time, love, and care, her transformation has been incredible. Her coat is now soft and healthy, her eyes shine with life, and her heart is still as big as ever. But even after almost a year, she's still waiting for someone to take her home for good. Gracie is one of those dogs who makes you feel special just by being near her. She gives the kind of hugs that make the world stop for a moment - pressing into you as if to say, I'm yours! She's playful and full of life, chasing the spray from a garden hose with pure delight, and happily trotting by your side on walks. At night, she'll settle in close, soaking up the quiet moments as your snuggle buddy. She's smart, very food motivated (making training easy), and crate trained. She's easy going with kids (both big and small), loves cats, and could live happily with other dog companions - though she wouldn't mind being your one and only either. She's not a fan of the rain, but on sunny days she's always ready for an adventure. What she's looking for now is simple - a family who will cherish her as much as she will cherish them. Someone who will give her the security she's never truly had, and the kind of unconditional love she's been waiting her whole life to feel. Her hugs aren't just hugs; they're a promise. She'll press her paws around you, holding on like she never wants to let go, and in that moment, you'll know you've found something special.
