GRACIE - PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). *This is a courtesy listing.* Meet Gracie! Gracie's journey began several years ago when she was running scared with her daughter who was hit and killed on the freeway. Gracie covered a lot of ground, hopped some freeways looking for her kid, visited a university, and jumped into a yard where someone ignored her until she could be caught. She was scared and scarred. Her skin showed years of neglect with flea rash and irritation. Gracie was underweight and terrified of being touched or around people. No one came for her at the shelter and she was deemed unadoptable. Once Gracie was exited from the shelter by the team of volunteers who humanely trapped her, it did not take long before she realized her life had changed and people meant food, massage and toys! She has spent the last FOUR 1/2 years living in a kennel at the rescue facility. She is not good with dogs but is great with people, adventures outdoors, on leash AND house trained. Gracie is infatuated with treats and anyone on the end of her leash. She adores attention and loves people. Her time at events is spent lounging or sitting at the feet of her handler focused on them. No longer a youngster, 7 year old Gracie is now a senior girl and weighs 60 lbs. She would love nothing more than to find a place to enjoy the creature comforts in a foster or adoptive home rather than limited time with volunteers and at rescue outings. Could that be you? Other things to know about Gracie: she LOVES toys, including Nylabones and food puzzles! She does not resource guard and is easily handled or approached around food, toys or treats. Don’t let her age fool you, this girl has energy for days and is very spry. She walks well on leash, until a lizard or animal walks by then off to the races she goes! A tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures. Because Gracie is a flight risk, she cannot be left unattended in a yard, and crate training is a must when you are gone. The extra effort necessary to keep her safe is worth it to love and be loved by Gracie!
