Meet Grace, a mostly independent girl who knows how to win you over! Gracie, as she's affectionately known, takes a little time to trust new people, but once she does, you'll know it. She enjoys affection on her own terms and has just the right amount of spunky sass, which has earned her the nickname "huffy puffy" when she's feeling extra expressive.
Gracie absolutely adores other dogs and thrives in their company, often forming the closest bonds with female companions. A friendly, confident canine friend would be an ideal match to help her continue building trust and self-assurance. She's naturally submissive and takes comfort in following a trusted lead, blossoming in environments that offer gentle structure and positive reinforcement. She loves being outside and is happiest when she can enjoy a mix of sunbathing, running, and playing.
Ideal Home
Gracie is looking for a more laid-back lifestyle where she won't be forced to befriend every visitor. She warms up slowly and does best when given space, time, and a calm approach. Once she feels safe, she looks to her humans and furry friends for cues. Because she's a follower by nature, she needs a patient, confident adopter who can provide consistent leadership in a soothing, structured environment. She doesn't enjoy being crated and would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time, though she is happy to manage when necessary. While she lives peacefully with two respectful teenagers, she would be best suited to a quieter household without small children, as too much commotion can overwhelm her.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Gracie is house-trained with a predictable schedule and knows her basic commands, sitting beautifully when asked. She is a dream on leash, calm, curious, and non-reactive to people or other dogs, with only a mild interest in squirrels and bunnies. She may occasionally pull if she's excited but is easy to redirect.
