Description:

Gracie had a rough start to life. She came into rescue with both her back legs broken. It took a while to get them to heal. She is now a happy go lucky puppy.

Gracie is looking for her forever home. She is a sweet girl, very smart and high energy. Given her breed she needs a home that will be active with her. She is very targeted orientated and would do well with fly ball, agility or Frisbee training.

She is still is a puppy and is working on potty training, walking on leash and simple commands. She does well with no accidents indoors when she is taken out every 2-3 hours. Loves to go on walks and is doing quite well on a short leash. She has learned to sit to get her food and treats. She is highly food motivated while training. She loves her toys and plays well by herself.

She does well in her crate at night.

Gracie is very social with people and other dogs of all sizes. She has been exposed to both large and small breed dogs and loves to paly with them. She has had no exposure to cats.

*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.
