DESCRIPTION
Meet Gracely — a sweet little soul who is just beginning to learn that the world can be a safe and gentle place. Gracely is a 2.5 year old female Shih Tzu who was rescued from a breeder where she spent her young life being used for breeding. She never had the chance to simply be a dog — to be loved, to be played with, to learn that human hands can be kind. She is shy with people right now. Understandably so. She is still learning what trust feels like and what it means to have someone in her corner. But every single day she makes a little more progress — and every single step forward reminds us why we never give up on a dog like Gracely. when she finds the right family — a patient, gentle, loving family willing to give her the time she needs — she is going to blossom into the most wonderful and devoted little companion. We have seen it happen before. We know exactly who Gracely is underneath all that fear. And she is absolutely learning what love looks like for the very first time. Gracely is looking for the kind of family that understands that some dogs need a little more time. The kind of family that will sit quietly with her, let her come to them and celebrate every small moment of trust as the victory it truly is. She has never known that kind of love before. But she is about to.
