This beautiful girl is Gracie! Gracie is around 3 years old (or soon to be) and is about 30lbs. She was caught off the streets of TX with her dad, Dexter (DNA test confirmed!). Gracie arrived super scared, just like her sister Indie that we pulled off the streets a year before (again, DNA confirmed!). Gracie has been opening up and learning what it is like to be loved now that she is in a foster home. Dexter is looking for a home too, but they do not need to be adopted together.

She is showing us her playful side and she is starting to really enjoy playing with toys! She likes to strut around with her toys showing them off. Her energy is the lower side of medium. As she continues to warm up, she may be medium energy. She really loves her naps!! She likes to cuddle up by pressing herself up against you!

She has been doing amazing on walks and walks well on leash! She is being fostered with other dogs of all sizes and does well with them. She seems to get a lot of confidence from her dad, Dexter, in her foster home so we think she would do best in a home with another dog to continue learning from. She is scared of young kids (flees from them), but has done well with non-boisterous kids 10+ years old.

We do not know how she would do with a cat, but we think she would be okay with them.

Gracie will need a patient owner who can continue to help her learn to trust and blossom. She would do best in a home that does not have lots of visitors. In her foster home when it is just people she knows well and the other dogs, she is starting to become a "normal" dog. She is not crate trained, but she does well left in her room.

Come meet Gracie and fall in love with her sweet, loving eyes and velvety fur! Her love is pure and earning her love is a beautiful blessing!

Gracie's sister is adopted by a behavior consultant who is happy to continue helping Gracie's adoptive family thrive!
