At the Shelter
(Features ~ 10/04/12)
'Gracie' is the sweetest, most gentle dog at the shelter. She is quiet and settled and will make a perfect companion dog for some lucky person. She is a tri-colored Puggle (pug/beagle mix) designer dog. Gracie has been at the shelter for much too long. She is starting to give up hope of ever being adopted and now spends most days curled into a ball on her little blanket. She is overjoyed when someone stops at her run and pays attention to her. Some of our volunteers take her on walks and into the visitation room. She stays as close to them as possible, sitting there looking into their eyes, her eyes pleading, her tail slowly wagging. Gracie enjoys going on walks and being petted. Please adopt her and give this girly a second chance at life. She is at the shelter through no fault of her own.
