About Grace

Grace is the last of her litter, a black, short-coated, Border Collie and Black Lab mix whose enthusiasm for toys and mealtime is matched only by her love of attention. At the facility, she lights up when someone walks by, hopping up on her back legs to beg for affection. She has a warm, straightforward puppy charm—you never have to guess what she’s feeling. Though she’s got no shortage of confidence indoors, walks are a bit of a work in progress for Grace. The sights and sounds of cars make her nervous, so she’ll need a patient, gentle hand to help her get comfortable with the outside world. What you see is what you get: an affectionate, eager puppy waiting for a family who will appreciate her honest personality. They just need to recognize what those who care for her already love.
