Yorkshire Terrier and Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Gracie – A Gentle Soul Seeking a Quiet, Loving Home

Age: 6 years old
Size: 8 lbs
Breed: Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix

Gracie was sadly surrendered by her family when they fell on hard times. She is now ready to find a new home where she can feel safe, cherished, and loved for the rest of her life.

Gracie is a sweet and affectionate companion who bonds deeply with her people. Though she can be shy and timid at first, she blossoms into a loving and loyal friend once she feels secure. She adores cuddling and will happily curl up beside you for quiet moments together. Gracie does best when she receives plenty of one-on-one attention and can sometimes show a bit of jealousy if another dog interferes with her special time with you.

Gracie previously lived with three other dogs and cats, but she would truly thrive in a quieter home without feline friends. She can be a bit too pushy with cats when it comes to sharing space, so a cat-free environment is recommended for her comfort and theirs. She may do best as the only fur-child or with a very calm, respectful canine companion.

Gracie is looking for a quiet, mature adult home where she can enjoy a peaceful lifestyle. She has not had much experience with leash walking, so a home with a securely fenced yard would be ideal for her to safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. Inside, she is already crate trained and demonstrates a good understanding of house manners, making her an easy addition to a calm household.

Gracie's ideal family will be patient as she adjusts to her new surroundings and will provide her with the gentle reassurance she needs to feel at home. She will thrive with consistent routine, plenty of affection, and a peaceful environment where she can be the center of attention.

Gracie is ready to give all her love to a family who will cherish her gentle spirit and provide her with the safe, quiet, and loving home she deserves. In return, she offers unwavering loyalty, cozy cuddles, and a heart full of devotion.

If you are looking for a sweet, low-key companion to share your quiet moments with, Gracie may be the perfect match for you.

Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal's temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.

While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.
