Gracie, our 53 pound 3 year old lab mix, has been waiting a while for a chance to get adopted. Hailing from Texas, Gracie sat in a shelter there for weeks. Finally, a local rescue partner stepped in to bring her up to Oregon. When Gracie arrived, that rescue realized she had an undiagnosed limp. More waiting for Gracie. We feel lucky that we get to be the ones to finally see Gracie find her people.
Once we took Gracie in, we diagnosed her with a previously fractured rear leg. It had not healed straight and she did limp on it a bit. However, Gracie generally seemed very comfortable. After consulting with an orthopedic specialist, we decided Gracie didn't need any surgery. She does GREAT on a daily anti-inflammatory to keep her pain-free. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to say anything is wrong with her when she's happily running and playing. We estimate the medication will run about 20 dollars a month.
Incredibly friendly, Gracie hasn't met a person she didn't love. She is cuddly, sweet and has a warm, open spirit. Gracie is crate trained but can be trusted outside of the crate when left alone. She loves a zoomie session and a pile of squeaky toys. Gracie is very playful with the dogs in her foster home but it did take a couple of days for her to warm up to them. A patient playful dog friend in her future home would be terrific. We have not seen Gracie with cats; she should do fine with kids over 6.
Likely due to her chronic injury, Gracie has leash anxiety. This manifests as barking at other dogs that she sees while on lead. We have started her on fluoxetine (Prozac) and this is helping her get more confident. Her adopter should be prepared to keep working with her leash training. A quiet neighborhood and a yard for potty breaks would be ideal. It's possible she'll eventually be able to wean off fluoxetine, and this medication is inexpensive. Gracie comes with the help of a behaviorist.
Gracie is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives.
After way too long, it's time for Gracie to go home. Is that with you? Apply to adopt at www.stumptownstrays.org
