About Gracie

Meet Gracie Beautiful Gracie. What trauma and abuse did she endure until she and her sister came into our shelter? These two young pups were so shut down when they arrived. They would barely get off the ground, they shook in fear and hid behind each other hoping not to be noticed. We noticed them and we've been working hard to build their trust and confidence. Gracie (and her sister Leah) came in months ago. After the work of volunteers and staff, Gracie is ready to find her forever home. Gracie is a beautiful hound mix. She is 1.2 years old. She has a pretty, tan colored coat with white. Her eyes still show her uncertainty, but she's trying hard to be brave. She is medium in size, weighing about 40 lbs. For months volunteers and staff have been working with the sisters to overcome their fear. One special volunteer has worked miracles, getting Gracie into the yard where she loves the sunshine and rolling in the grass. Gracie wants nothing more than to belong and to feel wanted and safe. She follows this volunteer around and shows what a great dog she is. Gracie is incredibly sweet. She has never ever been aggressive in her fear. She is so gentle and very submissive. Gracie is learning to walk on a leash. She'll do best with a fenced yard so she can be outside safely. She might enjoy another dog in the home to give her confidence and show her the way. Gracie and Leah love each other, but they can be separated. We work with them independently, but they also get yard time to play together. We're trying to find the right balance to help them get adopted. A home environment would do wonders for Gracie. Gracie would do best in a family with older kids or a person who works from home. A quiet home with infinite patience and kindness to help her continue her journey of overcoming her past. She will bond hard and be the dog of a lifetime. She is such a gem.
