My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Gracie came to the shelter at the end of May after living on the streets and avoiding capture for several weeks. She arrived very nervous and timid and unresponsive to the people at the shelter. The first time she came into the play yard she walked in quietly and sniffed around for a minute or two. Then BOOM! – the real Gracie appeared. Suddenly Gracie was animated and playful, chasing the handlers and craving their attention. Now Gracie is the first to greet the handlers with enthusiasm and loves just about everyone she meets. At two-and-a-half years old Gracie has plenty of energy and her biggest sin at the moment is that when she greets people she sometimes becomes over excited and jumps – but that behavior can be corrected with basic training. Gracie is looking for a family that wants to spend lots of time with her, preferably where someone is home most or all of the day.
Please call the shelter 516-944-8220 during working hours (Mon. to Fri. 9AM-4PM; Sat. 10-4PM) for more information about Gracie, the adoption process at the shelter, and to confirm availability. Please go to www.theshelterconnection.com for more information about and directions to the shelter.
