History and a note from the foster: Gracie is a 10 year old short pitbull mix. She has a medium sized body but is full of small dog attitude:) She's an energetic little gal who loves fetch, walks, laying outside, and perching on furniture like a cat. Her most favorite hobby is sneaking under the covers or blanket for a warm and cozy nap.

Gracie is potty trained, crate trained, sleeps all night, and is generally a very easy keep. She's super smart, knows basic commands like sit/stay/lay, has good recall, walks good on leash, and can "kennel up" and "go lay down". Gracie looooves mealtime and would do just about anything for a treat or piece of cheese:) 

Gracie has a few things she continues to work on. She can be jumpy when excited, and needs a reminder to not invade her humans personal space - she needs to calm down before she's given lots of praise and attention or she can be a bit pushy. She is a big barker, but is very successful on an e collar.

Gracie has been doing extremely well with the other dogs coming and going in her foster home. She is traditionally the bossier dog, and does best with dogs who can give some space when asked of them. Once acclimated, Gracie loves her dog friends. Walking by lots of new dogs isn't Gracie's favorite thing - so she'd prefer a quieter yard versus a busy city. Gracie does not mind cats at all:)

Despite her quirks, Gracie's so deserving of finding a forever family to call her own. She's been looking for quite a while, but is holding out hope that her perfect people will find her! 

Adoption Fee: $500 + tax

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
