Gracie

Gracie came into my life when her original owner was relocating to Portugal and couldn’t bring her along. I agreed to foster her and help find the right forever home and now, I’m hoping that’s you.

She’s a 2 year-old Jack Russell Terrier with all the classic charm of the breed: energetic, alert, and smart. But what really makes Gracie special is her affectionate heart. She loves to cuddle...like, fall-asleep-in-your-arms level cuddle. She gives the sweetest hugs, always wants to be near her person, and has so much love to give.

Gracie thrives on attention and affection, loves treats, and does best in a home where she’s the center of someone’s world. She has a big personality in a little body...playful, loyal, and full of bounce.

If you’re looking for a loyal little companion with a big heart and a playful spirit, Gracie might just be your girl.
