ADOPTION FEE: $475 ABOUT GRACIE: Gracie came to us from a rural rescue partner. She was surrendered because her owner sadly has stage 4 cancer. Gracie has been struggling with shelter life and would really like to have a home, even a temporary home with a foster. We do the best we can to help all of our dogs feel comfortable, safe, and loved but there are is a lot of constant stimulation that can create a lot of stress for a pup. In the stressful kennel environment, Gracie does not like to be handled by strangers right away, needing to build trust first. Gracie struggles with being overstimulated with pets. She absolutely loves company from her people but would like breaks from being petted too much. Gracie LOVES to play fetch with her ball. She takes her ball everywhere! She will carry it from her kennel to the field and back again. It's her binky. When you start running, she will run with you because she wants to be by your side. Gracie has been in few playgroups with other dogs and she has done well. We will continue to introduce her to other dogs and will update her profile. She can walk calmly next to dogs, and she is a loose leash walk queen! Please give Gracie a chance. Come see for yourself how amazing she is by filling out an adoption application today.
