Gracie Lou - American Bulldog and Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption in Hagerstown, Maryland

Meet Gracie Lou!

Gracie has lived a very hard life. She spent her first 5 years outside on a chain and when my family met her, we knew she deserved a chance. We've fostered Gracie for over a year now and have fallen head over heels for her. We would easily be a foster fail if our dogs would accept her into our home.

We are looking for that special person or couple to promise her that she will never know that life she came from again.

Gracie is completely house trained and doesn't require much effort. She's very happy to just be near you or to look out her window and watch the world! Despite the life she had, she loves and trusts so unconditionally. She is happy to be in the room with you and rolls immediately on her back for tummy rubs the minute she gets your attention. She is easy to be around and is just happy to have you as part of her life.

Gracie is happy to go for a 1-2 mile walk or to run around your fenced yard. If you are going for a car ride, she will jump right in and navigate!

She is very food motivated and has learned to sit. She's so smart and we are sure with someone's time she could learn so much more!

Gracie loves toys and is so excited to have a new toy with a fresh squeaker!!! She is good on a leash but does get excited when she sees other dogs - she may need some help calming her excitement. She would also like to have her person close by, she spent too much of her life alone already. She would be best as an only dog with no kitty or child siblings. She is up to date on shots, spayed, and housebroken.

The American Bulldog is a powerful and athletic breed known for its strong build and confident demeanor. They are loyal, courageous, and make excellent family companions due to their affectionate nature. With proper training and socialization, American Bulldogs can thrive in various environments, from active outdoor lifestyles to relaxed indoor settings. Their distinctive appearance and protective instincts make them prized as both working dogs and beloved pets for those who appreciate their bold yet gentle temperament.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
