About Gracie

Gracie looks every bit the polar bear but brings a much warmer presence. Having raised her puppies with patience and love, this gentle giant is finally ready to be someone’s spoiled companion. Gracie moves through life at an easy pace, content with quiet naps, casual strolls, and soaking up affection from those around her. She loves her downtime, relaxing on the sofa, and excels at giving soft head nudges and the occasional post-meal burp. She aces her daily walks, rarely pulling, and is equally happy lounging solo at home as she is curling up beside you. Gracie is crate trained, house trained, and manages well when left alone. At three years old and a sturdy 72 pounds, Gracie is a Great Pyrenees with a long, soft coat in white and cream. She greets children warmly as long as they’re respectful of her space and generally prefers a calm, gentle household. Gracie enjoys the company of other dogs if they’re mellow but wouldn’t mind being the center of attention either. Her history hasn’t been easy—she’s come through eye surgery and still needs eye drops from time to time, and she has a slight limp from an old injury, but these don’t take away her joy for short walks or playing with her favorite toys. Gracie is spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. She brings a lot of personality—loyal, a bit sassy, and always up for a good nap or an appreciative cuddle. Ready to meet your new best friend?
