Story
Meet Gracie – A True Survivor with a Heart of GoldGracie is the most remarkable dog. Found as a stray in early January, she arrived at a local shelter severely underweight at just 28 pounds, suffering from infected skin, ears, and nose, along with a significant head wound. Her recovery has been slow and steady due to the extent of her condition, but this resilient girl is making consistent progress and regaining her health and strength.Now up to a healthy 52 pounds, Gracie is a one-year-old boxer mix full of love and personality. With her sweet, bouncy spirit, she charms everyone she meets—dogs, cats, and humans alike. Though she still has some puppy energy, Gracie is generally a mellow, affectionate girl who simply wants to play and cuddle. She would thrive in a home with another friendly, easygoing pup to share her days with.Gracie is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows how to play with her designated toys and ignore non-dog objects. She walks beautifully on a leash and especially enjoys hikes and neighborhood strolls. When she’s excited, she literally jumps for joy!A true cuddlebug, Gracie loves to snuggle with her foster parents and fellow animal siblings, she gets along well with both male and female dogs, and simply prefers calmer companions who match her gentle vibe. She’s wonderfully respectful with cats—more interested in being near them than chasing them—and although she hasn’t lived with children, she has done well around them in her time with her foster family. She would make a great therapy dog.Kindly note: Gracie is still physically healing from past neglect and requires biweekly medicated baths to soothe her skin as it continues to recover. Luckily, she’s great at bath time and hops into the tub when she hears the word “tub.” She’s also on a special diet and supplements to support her healing.Gracie is ready for the next chapter of her life—a loving forever home where she can continue to heal, grow, and be surrounded by the companionship she so deeply deserves.Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
