Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

🐾 Meet Gracie - The Fierce Little Queen with the Softest Heart

Gracie may be just a touch bigger than Bristol, but make no mistake -- this girl runs the show. 👑
Found as a stray at only five weeks old with her siblings, Gracie came into the shelter scrappy, unsure, and relying only on her brothers and sisters to survive. They became each other's comfort, each other's safety, each other's constant.
That bond is still incredibly important to her. They sleep together, reassure one another, and look to each other when something feels new or uncertain. They were all they had in the beginning -- and it shows in the way they move through the world together.
But Gracie? Gracie has opinions about that world. 😌
✨ Gracie's highlights:
Fiery, confident little spitfire
Very vocal (she will absolutely tell you what she thinks!)
Rules the roost with her siblings
Demands -- and deserves -- your full attention
Constantly checks in with her person
She is not interested in "sharing" love. If you're handing out affection, she expects 100% of it. She will climb into your lap, look you square in the eyes, and make it very clear that you belong to her.
But here's the beautiful truth about Gracie:
Underneath that bossy bravado is the softest, sweetest soul.
More than any of her siblings, Gracie wants to check in. She wants to know you're there. She wants to feel you watching over her. She wants reassurance that she is safe, seen, and protected.
Her boldness isn't dominance -- it's devotion waiting for somewhere secure to land.
Because of her early start in life, Gracie will need a patient adopter who understands that while she presents as strong and feisty, she is still a baby learning that safety can be permanent. She needs consistency, gentle guidance, and someone who won't be intimidated by her spark -- but will cherish it.
She loves to wrestle and nibble on her siblings, boss them around, and play hard... but at the end of the day, she wants her human's attention most of all.
Gracie isn't just looking for a home.
She's looking for her person.
If you want a fiercely loyal sidekick -- your ride-or-die, your shadow, your tiny but mighty protector -- Gracie is ready to claim her throne in your heart.
Fiery spirit. Loyal soul. All heart. 💛🐾

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.

The shelter accepts dogs and cats and is also the depository for animals that have been picked-up by Gilmer County...
