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

Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 300. *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Meet Gracie! This sweet little peanut is a quiet, gentle soul who takes life at her own pace. She may be reserved at first, but with patience and kindness, her affectionate side begins to shine through. Recently, she even surprised her foster by hopping onto the couch next to her niece, showing that she’s learning to enjoy companionship in her own time. Gracie walks like a dream on leash and looks forward to her daily stroll around the block. She has the cutest little soft howl to let you know when she’s ready to go outside. At home, she prefers a calm, quiet environment with someone who is around most of the time to keep her company. She gets along well with other dogs and is completely fine with cats—usually just ignoring them. Gracie is also a wonderful passenger, calmly watching the world go by from the backseat during car rides. While she may hesitate a bit before going into her crate, she always settles quietly once inside. With her gentle presence, sweet quirks, and steady companionship, Gracie is looking for a patient adopter who will embrace her quiet charm and give her the safe, cozy life she deserves. Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and rec ommendations to keep your senior dog in top shape. Gracie is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
