About Gracie Mae

Meet Gracie Mae! Gracie Mae is a delightful five-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound mix currently in Amherst, MA. This charming girl, with her white and golden short coat, exudes warmth and companionship wherever she goes. Weighing around 40 pounds, Gracie Mae embodies the classic curiosity of her hound background. She thrives on structure and routine, which help her feel secure and relaxed. Stuffy toys and sturdy Benebones are among her favorites, and she's always up for a game of fetch to bring out her playful side. After play, she leans in for affectionate snuggles, often cuddling close to share a quiet moment. Gracie Mae has flourished in a busy home with children, including a neurodivergent child, handling their energy and activity with grace. She is comfortable around kids and loves being a part of family life. Having successfully lived with another dog, she's generally friendly toward people, though she may benefit from gentle introductions to new visitors and delivery drivers. Though she’s not currently familiar with cats, her hound instincts might urge her to chase small animals, so it’s best to supervise walks. Gracie Mae has a solid grasp of commands like "sit," responds well to positive reinforcement, and is crate-trained for calm downtime during work hours. While she's learned to go potty outside, she prefers pee pads indoors where she feels more at ease. As outdoor distractions can make her uncertain, a consistent routine and guidance will help her adjust. Her vaccinations are up to date, she is spayed, microchipped, and eager to start a new chapter with a loving family that will keep the love and structure she knows. If you’re searching for a sweet, playful hound who cherishes toys, cuddles, and family time, Gracie Mae could be the perfect match! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
