About Gracie

Are you ready to have your daily intake of Vitamin Woooooo exceeded? Gracie (62 lbs) is your perfect day-to-day source! Gracie came to us with another canine friend when their owner sadly passed away and has been the best girl ever with the medical care she's received with us since her arrival. Now, though, she's feeling ready to shake a paw into her own forever home, where she can roll in the green grass until it's lunch time! We unfortunately don't know how she feels about other animals in the home, but she may be happy with another friendly, Zen dog - we'll set up a meet and greet for any resident dogs and her after you've come in to say hello. If you'd like to meet this dulcet doggo and get to know her a little better, stop by the adoption center during our open hours Wednesday-Sunday 12-4:30 (Thursday 12-6:30). You can also reach our adoptions team: by email: adoptions@spcaonline.com by phone (during open hours): 607-257-1822 x221

About Mixed Breed Dogs

Mixed breed dogs are wonderfully unique companions, each one a one-of-a-kind blend of traits, personalities, and appearances. The genetic diversity of mixed breeds often leads to fewer inherited health problems and greater overall vigor. They come in every size, shape, and temperament imaginable.

Adopting a mixed breed means giving a home to a dog who truly needs one - they make up the majority of shelter dogs waiting for families. You'll gain a resilient, adaptable companion with a unique personality all their own. Mixed breeds prove every day that love isn't defined by a pedigree.

Health notes: Mixed breeds benefit from hybrid vigor - genetic diversity often reduces the risk of breed-specific hereditary conditions. Regular vet checkups help address individual health needs as they arise.
