Adorable, cuddly, playful and sweet. Little Gracie’s biggest wish is to be the center of  your  universe! Gracie  loves  her person more than anything, whether that means cuddling on the couch or  following them from room to room. She is fun and playful  – she loves fetching a stuffie and will bring it back to you and politely ‘drop it’ when asked. Gracie  appears to  h ave had  some training and knows ‘sit,’ and she is used to going outside to potty – she has never had a pee accident in her foster home so far.  When she came to rescue s he needed to gain  a little  weight so she has had a few poo accidents inside, but foster mom thinks it is because  her body  was getting used to eating more dog food (a normal amount) every day.  Gracie is  crate trained  and has never had an accident inside her crate .

While in foster care Gracie has shown a  definite  preference for women  (she tolerates men, and will eventually warm up to them over a few days) , so it would be great if a woman could be her primary care taker. 

Gracie  has  also  shown a tendency to be  a bit  overprotective of her person, especially when new guests enter the house. She has nipped (not bitten) at the hands or ankles of guests entering the house, so for that reason, she would  need a  home without small children or small children visitors.  She is currently being fostered with a female toddler and has never been anything but sweet to her, but it’s better to be on the safe side.  In an ideal world, her perfect adopter would be a  woman  that  is  well versed in dog behavior so they could correct Gracie before she ever  tries to get nippy with guests ( or  else  she would need to be crated  or put in a separate room when guests come  over ) . 

Gracie  is  currently  being fostered with other dogs  without incident  but she does not need a canine companion, she woul d  probably   prefer  to  be the only dog in order to lap up all the affection!
