About Gracie

Meet Gracie: Your future cuddle bug! This delightful 1.5-year-old Black Lab mix is ready to leave her foster home and find her forever family. With a sleek black coat featuring a striking white stripe from chin to tail, she's one-of-a-kind. Gracie isn’t just any dog; she’s a full-body snuggler who thrives on affection. Whether she’s curled up on the couch or lounging comfortably outside, she loves to lean into her humans for belly rubs and face scratches. Her goofy charm shines through her adorable "smile"—a playful way of expressing happiness that adds to her lovable personality. In her foster home, Gracie has shown fantastic house manners. She’s 100% house trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands like "sit." Although she enjoys chewing, with proper toys around, she understands what’s off-limits. Gracie thrives in a lively household, getting along splendidly with children and her dog sibling. However, due to her size and enthusiasm, she’d do best with older kids who can handle her energetic hugs. Gracie is still getting used to the world after being rescued from a crowded shelter in Houston, Texas, but she continues to gain confidence every day. If you're ready to welcome a lovable, snuggly companion into your life, apply to meet Gracie today!
