About Gracie Lou

Meet Gracie Lou! This charming 13-year-old Cairn Terrier is full of character and has a strong belief that she can take on any truck in her path during walks. Weighing in at 16 pounds, she’ll courageously lunge at any vehicle that passes by. Gracie has a mix of sweetness and sass, and she quickly decides how she feels about people—some are in her good books, while others, like the vet or groomer, are not included. Gracie was once deeply loved, but her previous owner had to transition into assisted living, leading her to join us. Despite her age, she has plenty of spirit and life left. She's housebroken, enjoys her walks, and would thrive in a single-level home since her knees are a bit creaky. Gracie prefers being the only pet, so she may show her spicy side around others. Though she’s experiencing some vision and hearing loss typical for her age, she would benefit from a home with someone who enjoys short daily walks, maintains a steady hand on the leash, and appreciates her bossy nature.
