About Gracie

Gracie is a small, charming dog who weighs about 7.5 lbs and is currently on a weight loss journey. At 5 years old, she was lovingly surrendered by her previous owner, a homeless woman, who wanted the best for her. Gracie is fully vetted and definitely the cutest little meatball around. She enjoys the company of small dogs and is familiar with larger dogs, though she isn’t shy about expressing when she needs her space. Gracie loves to be close to her humans and often burrows under her blanket for comfort. She would thrive in a home with older children, as she appreciates a calm environment without young ones. This delightful companion is great with cats and dogs alike, making her adaptable to various households. Your new best friend awaits. Ready to meet her?
