Meet Gracie Mae!
Gracie Mae is a charming five-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound mix with a gentle spirit and a warm, white and golden coat. She's a medium-sized girl, weighing about 40 pounds, and she carries the classic curiosity and musical heart of her hound heritage. Gracie Mae enjoys structure and routine, which help her feel confident and relaxed. Stuffy toys and sturdy Benebones are treasures to her, and a lively game of fetch can instantly bring out her playful side! When playtime winds down, Gracie Mae happily leans in for affectionate snuggles and is known for cuddling close, as if sharing a quiet secret. She has grown up in a busy household with children, including a neurodivergent child, and has handled the extra activity and movement with patience and calm. She is comfortable around kids and often enjoys being part of the lively rhythm of family life. This friendly girl has lived successfully with another dog and is generally comfortable around people.
Ideal Home
Gracie Mae would thrive in a caring environment where someone is home much of the time to keep her engaged with play, walks, and connection. Her hound instincts may encourage her to chase small animals, so thoughtful introductions and attentive guidance will be key.
Ongoing Health
Gracie Mae's vaccinations are up to date, she is spayed, and microchipped.
Training & Support
Gracie Mae has learned commands like "sit" and responds well to patient guidance and positive reinforcement. She is crate-trained and can rest calmly during a workday. While she has learned to go potty outside and understands the "go potty" command, she is also accustomed to using pee pads indoors. Outdoor sounds and distractions can sometimes make her feel uncertain, and she does not currently signal when she needs to go outside, often preferring the familiarity of pee pads. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, routines like this can continue to improve over time. She sometimes feels unsure about delivery drivers or unfamiliar visitors, and benefits from gentle introductions.
