Description:
Gracie is the happiest and sweetest girl with a pinch of sass and goofiness (and she's the cutest). Her tail is always wagging and she loves to be around people. She loves looking out the window and watching cars drive by, neighbors walking their dogs, and keeping an eye on those pesky squirrels. She also likes to look out the window to keep track of us leaving and waits for us to come home. It’s the cutest thing to see her sitting in the window. She spends most of the day looking out the window so she would love it if her forever family had a spot for her to watch the world go by.

She finished her heartworm treatment at the end of January, but she is still on restricted exercise until the end of March when she can slowly be eased back into exercising. Once she’s able to exercise again, she would love to have a fenced in yard so she can run, chase squirrels and rabbits, and lay in the sunshine. She would also like to go for daily walks. She does well on a leash but will pull if she sees a squirrel or other small animal.

She is a cuddle bug, especially in the morning so she would love if her forever family spent time in the mornings recharging her cuddle battery. She does not like the kennel, she gets very stressed, but she does well having the run of the house. As long food and trash are put away, she doesn't get into anything. She’s also not a fan of the car, but that could probably get better with positive reinforcement training. She is very smart and picks things up quickly. She hasn’t met any cats or dogs yet living with us so I can’t speak to how she reacts to new furry friends, but she has met kids and does well with them. If you’re looking for someone to go for walks with, play in the yard with, and then sit on the couch with, Gracie is your girl. And look at those ears!

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
