Gracie

It breaks our hearts, but we are looking for a loving new home for our sweet girl, Gracie. She is a 6-year-old pittie mix who has brought so much love and joy to our family.

Gracia is incredibly affectionate, loves to cuddle, and is happiest when she's relaxing with her people or soaking up the sunshine in the backyard. She is fully potty trained, easy to care for, and truly enjoys being part of the family.

She does very well with younger, playful dogs and has always done great with other dogs in daycare settings. However, Gracie prefers not to share her home with older dogs and would do best as the "queen" of the household or with a younger canine companion.

Around small children, Gracie simply needs a little extra supervision when high-value treats or toys are involved. Otherwise, she is sweet, loving, and enjoys spending time with people.

As our family grows and we welcome a young child into our home, along with older dogs, we feel Gracie deserves a living situation where she can thrive and receive all the love and attention she deserves.

Gracie weighs approximately 40-45 pounds, is up to date on all of her shots, and is looking for a family who will love her as much as we do. She is a wonderful dog with so much love to give, and we are committed to finding her the perfect home.
