My name is Gracie and I am a beautiful 2 year old apricot spayed female.  I know you can't see my beautiful color in these pictures.  My owner who loved me a lot and let me sleep in bed with her would have my top coat shaved so that I did not shed as much.  It also feels cooler in the summer.  But when it grows back I will be extra pretty.

In my two short years I have spent some of it not meeting as many people as I should have so I sometimes am slow to warm up but when I do I fall hard.  My mom walked me alot so I am good on a leash and follow commands really well.  I lived with small animals and just like human siblings we did sometimes fight over toys and attention.  

Rescue is fostering me until I can find the right home since my moms life has changed and she can't keep me anymore. 

I will do best with a home that understands that it will take some time for me to feel at home.  The man will have to gain my confidence and I probably would like to be either the only dog or one other.  I am intrigued by children but when they run and scream I watch but I don't know how to engage in play so I just usually stay at a distance. 

I know that I have some baggage that my new home will need to understand but in the day I have been in foster I already have warmed up to my foster mom and tonight I looked her right in the face and sniffed her nose.  I could tell she was happy that I trusted her enough to do that to her.
