Meet Gracie, a gentle soul ready for a fresh start. Around five years old, Gracie has a sweet heart, carefully tucked behind a shy exterior. She’s been through some tough times, and it shows in the way she hangs back at first, uncertain and reserved. Give her a little patience, a bit of kindness, and some quiet together-time, though, and she comes out of her shell. Once she feels safe, she shows an affectionate and gentle side, and she truly enjoys walks where she can explore the world slowly, at her own pace. We’re still getting to know Gracie, so it’s unclear how she feels about other dogs or cats. What’s certain: she’s looking for a calm place and a caring person who can show her real, lasting love. There’s something special about offering a second chance to a dog who’s still hopeful, and Gracie is ready for that new beginning with someone who understands her. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
