About Grace

Grace is a petite, young Vizsla/Cattle Dog mix with a big personality and a resilient spirit. Soon after raising her pups beneath a fallen tree in brutal Texas heat, Grace and her babies were rescued and found safety with a caring group. She quickly blossomed among people and other dogs, always seeking out playtime and a good round of squeaky toys. Her golden and cream coat is short and easy to care for, and she stands out for her affectionate, bubbly approach to everyone she meets—human or canine. She shows clear herding dog instincts and feels best when in the middle of a group, checking in on everyone, and occasionally "herding" the crowd. Because of this, a home with someone who has experience managing herding breeds is preferred. Grace is spayed, fully vaccinated, dog-friendly, house trained, and kennel trained. She will not be a good fit for homes with cats. Grace is based in Houston, TX, but transport is available. She’s buzzing with energy, devotion, and charm—ready to find a place to settle in and shine.
