About Gracie

Meet Gracie! She’s a vibrant and intelligent two-year-old Belgian Malinois mix currently in Amherst, MA. Gracie has a sunny disposition, wrapped in a golden coat and a striking black muzzle that makes her stand out. This girl lights up every room she enters. From a spirited pup, she's grown into a sociable companion who thrives in the company of other dogs, thanks to her upbringing alongside nine canine friends. Whether she's romping around the yard or sharing a quiet moment after a fun day, Gracie is fluent in the language of playfulness. Gentle at heart, she loves curling up on the couch or napping by her person's bed, exchanging belly rubs for love-filled gazes. Gracie is especially kind with children, having formed a lovely bond with a seven-year-old. Her affectionate nature comes alive especially during these quiet moments. She's house-trained, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations after a successful board-and-train program. With her high energy and cleverness, Gracie requires plenty of mental stimulation and structure in her new home. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, her exuberance might be a bit much for older pets. Curious about cats, she would likely do best in a feline-free environment.
