Gracie came from unfortunate circumstances where she was used for breeding. She had her last litter of puppies in August, 2024. She had some aggression that developed with pregnancy towards other dogs, but continues to make progress e ch day as the puppies get older and find their furever homes.. Gracie is a very loving girl that wants nothing more than to be by her humans side. She is her foster mom's shadow at all times and loves to cuddle on her lap as well as play with her foster siblings. However, when they play...they play quite rough, but not aggressive toward one another. Gracie is working at regaining her trust. She is still timid and scared of the world from her traumatizing history and does get scared when someone talks loud or yells at her. We are still working on basic commands like lay down, but has almost mastered sit and come. She does go to "her room" on command, which is a spare bedroom in her fosters home. Gracie is very fond of chewing, especially boxes/paper products (toilet paper, paper towel, etc.). If left unsupervised with items around the home, she may or may not chew on
them. She also likes to play with toys with her foster siblings, but typically only plays with interactive toys on her own (puzzle treat toys, etc.). Gracie does have a pray drive and attempts to catch birds and squirrels, but leaves them when told to leave it.
Her perfect adopter would be someone who is patient with her and her training. She is very smart and obedient once you gain her trust. Ideally her adopter will have experience or know about her guardian breed tendencies. Gracie has not had good interactions with kids so far, but could potentially be around them with continued training. For now it would be best for her to be in a kid free household. She does well with other large non-dominant dogs or will also thrive independently with exercise. She does not require a fence, but would require supervision given her prey drive and guardian tendencies.
