About Grace

Lab / Australian Kelpie
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

Grace (Kelly) is such a beautiful and sweet soul. (She and the litter were named for Alfred Hitchcock and some of the leading ladies in his movies - just because we liked this theme.) This mama came to us with her six puppies who were around five weeks old at the time. She continued to care for, guide, and nourish them and they found new homes. Grace thought she had as well as a service dog, but her family decided to go with an actual organization that breeds and trains service dogs. This beautiful girl is so well-mannered that it's hard to believe her owner never came to get her from the shelter. She walks so well on lead she has to have had training. She anticipates every move (the herding dog in her), starts and stops nearly on a dime. She is great in the car, and in a crate as well. She is good with other dogs but is still cautious with those that are very high energy or have bad manners. Cats - she looks at them and they look at her. If one were to run she may give chase, but that's about it. Grace loves children and is nearly chill all the time. Oh, she has her moments of silly, goofy play, but that just makes her all the more precious. If you are interested meeting Grace and potentially adopting her please read on or go directly to the Adoption Process page of our website - throwmeabonedogrescue.org. All potential adopters are expected to complete an application and provide pictures of their yard, patio, and/or balcony making sure we can see the fence line and/or railing. The application can be completed and submitted from our website - throwmeabonedogrescue.org - the link is found of the Adoption Process page. Applications will be reviewed for approval before setting an appointment to come meet and possibly adopt the dog of interest. In addition, those who live in a rental property are expected to provide proof that they are allowed to have a dog where they live. Each of our rescued dogs has been de-wormed if necessary, de-flea'd (with topical treatment if old enough, and by medicated bath if too young), spayed/neutered, microchipped, is up to date on shots, and has been fully examined by a veterinarian. In addition, each adopted dog comes with a starter baggie of the food it has been eating, a few treats for training purposes, a rawhide chew, a lead and collar, and a folder containing pertinent records.
