Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Gracie: Pet of the Week!

Take a look at this sweet girl! Gracie is about 1-2 years old.
She has so much love to give and is looking for a forever home, or a foster in the meantime.
She's got it all! Good with kids, kennel trained, housebroken, and just amazing to all of the volunteers up here!
She has a couple of quirks, which all pets do.
She likes to flip her bowl so that she can eat her food on the floor. We're working on trying to get her to try new methods of eating breakfast and dinner, such as puzzle feeders, and various food dispensing toys, but she's not quite interested in those yet.
NO CATS! She cannot be around cats, smaller animals, or chickens. Her prey drive kicks in pretty hard.
But with her breeds, or what we think her breeds are, it can be expected. Her original paperwork has her listed as a Belgium Malinois/Coonhound mix. She has the facial structure of the Malinois and the energy, but the goofy personality of a coonhound and the coloring.
We'd prefer to have someone with knowledge of the Malinois breed so that she doesn't end up coming back up here for her nature, but we are also willing to meet with those who are willing to agree to train her further and maintain that.
She already knows some basic commands and uses them consistently.
Oh, and she loves playing fetch with a ball. Former owner says if you throw it once, be prepared to continue throwing it for a good bit!
We see more playful than spastic out of her, so we think she'd be a great fit for a family willing to put in the time with her!
She is a bit intense and will need regular exercise and perhaps a “job” – she would excel no doubt at agility, etc.
