ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 45 lbs
KNOWN WITH DOGS: Grace does well with other dogs. She plays with other dogs at the Homeward Trails Adoption Center and is considered a hard player who would do best (if there is another dog in the home) with someone who is active but confident about asserting their boundaries.
KNOWN WITH CATS: We do not currently know how Grace is with cats. If that is needed, let us know and we'll work on getting that information!
KNOWN WITH KIDS: Grace did okay with her previous owners' grandchildren, but we don't think living with small children permanently would be a good fit.
KNOWN COMMANDS: Touch, sit, down, spin
KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING &/OR CRATING: Grace is housebroken to our knowledge.
KNOWN LIKES: Affection, dogs, treats, training, toys
KNOWN DISLIKES: Grace did have a hard time at the vet and may have some handling sensitivities - we recommend working on muzzle training for future vet visits, people touching her food or toys when she is engaging with it, but will always trade!
ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Meet Grace, the spirited pup with a heart full of love and a zest for life that's sure to bring joy to any home. With an estimated weight of 45 lbs, Grace may be compact in size, but she's bursting with energy and affection.
In the realm of canine companionship, Grace is a social butterfly, thriving in the company of other dogs at the Homeward Trails Adoption Center. However, her exuberant play style may require an owner who is active and confident in setting boundaries. With the right guidance, Grace is sure to make a wonderful playmate for a furry friend.
Grace's list of likes is simple yet heartwarming - she thrives on the love and affection of her human companions, along with tasty treats to reward her good behavior. However, she does have a dislike for loud noises, so a calm and peaceful environment would suit her best.
Despite her past challenges, including sensitivity at the vet and making a mess at home, Grace is ready to turn over a new leaf and find a loving forever family who can provide her with plenty of exercise, enrichment, and, most importantly, unconditional love. If you're seeking a loyal and energetic companion to join your home, look no further than Grace - she's waiting to steal your heart and become your steadfast furry friend for life.
