Meet Gracie, a 7-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd with a gentle spirit and a heart just waiting for the right person to share it with. Gracie can be a little shy when meeting new people, but that's simply because she likes to take a moment to figure things out first. Give her a little patience and kindness, and you'll soon see her warm up into the sweet, loyal companion she truly is. Once she feels comfortable, Gracie would love nothing more than to be your quiet shadow and best friend. She's the kind of dog who forms strong bonds and will happily stay by your side through life's everyday moments-whether that's relaxing at home, enjoying a peaceful walk, or just sitting nearby while you go about your day. For someone willing to give her a little time to settle in, Gracie will reward you with a lifetime of loyalty and love. Gracie will be making her debut Saturday, March 14th at our adoption event at PetSmart in Mohegan Lake! If you think you might be the perfect match for this sweet girl, the first step is to head to happylifeanimalrescue.org and register for adoption. Once you're registered, come meet Gracie and see if she's the best friend you've been waiting for.
