About Gracie

Hi, I'm Gracie PR, but my foster mom calls me Grace! I am a 2 yr. old Australian Shepherd mix, possibly with Blue Heeler. Don't let my name fool you; I once knocked over the recycling bin trying to catch a ball in the house. Talk about a mess! My foster mom said, 'oh no, maybe we shouldn't play ball in the house', and she cleaned up the mess.��%BD%A0 I did get into trouble one day.��%BD%A0 I chewed a magnet that fell off the refrigerator.��%BD%A0 It was on the floor, so I thought it was mine.��%BD%A0 I'm a social butterfly and love hanging out with the foster mom's dog and cats.��%BD%A0 I sometimes want all the attention so I will bark at the other dog to get away, but that's the extent of my warning, no fights.��%BD%A0 I'm also housebroken and used the doggy door from day one.��%BD%A0 My car rides to the vet for my vaccinations went fine and I didn't get car sick.��%BD%A0 I am now caught up on the vaccinations and they put me on heartworm and flea/tick prevention.��%BD%A0 I am also spayed. When it is time to eat, I run into my crate and wait patiently for my food.��%BD%A0 Even if I finish first, I don't take the other dogs food.��%BD%A0 I walk like a model on a leash, and I love going on walks! I'm as playful as a puppy, yet as smart as a professor.��%BD%A0 It just took two days for my foster mom to teach me to shake.��%BD%A0 Sometimes I get it wrong and give her two paws.��%BD%A0 I am trying to teach my foster mom to 'high five', she just isn't getting it.��%BD%A0I'll play ball with you all day! My foster mom says that I need a little more training on manners.��%BD%A0 If she is gone for even a half hour, I am so happy to see her when she gets home that I jump on her.��%BD%A0 Once I know she is home to stay, I calm down and am the perfect dog again.��%BD%A0I am so good with kids and know how to take treats from them gently. I spent time with 4 kids around me, including a 19-month-old and was such a good girl. It's important that kids respect me too. I would love some kids of my own! Cuddling? I've got a PhD in that!��%BD%A0 My foster mom lets me climb into her lap on the recliner.��%BD%A0 I know I am 49 lbs., but I need those hugs! My one fault, I can be an escape artist if I'm left alone in the backyard. I would much rather spend my time with you.So, if you need a laugh, a hug, or a partner for your morning jog, I'm your girl!
