Gracie Mae

Gracie Mae is a loving Treeing Walker Coonhound mix who has been raised in a home environment and is well cared for. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines, with full vet records available. She is comfortable in the home and is used to a routine that includes pee pads and scheduled outdoor breaks.

As a hound mix, Gracie benefits from routine, engagement, and regular activity. She enjoys companionship and does best when she has consistent interaction and structure. She is comfortable with men and women and has lived successfully with another dog. Her experience with children and cats is limited, so thoughtful introductions would be important.

Due to significant changes in my work schedule and housing related to a life transition, I am no longer able to provide the time and environment she needs long-term. This decision is being made proactively with her quality of life as the priority.

I am committed to placing her in a stable, responsible home that can offer consistency, time, and an appropriate environment for a hound-type dog.
