My story

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

Gracie is a very sweet girl who is looking for a home to call her own, and one thing to know about this shepherd mix is that she’s a very literal girl…. She wants it to be her very own! No doggie or kitty siblings, and in all likelihood, no children siblings either. She’s had a somewhat chaotic beginning and needs a quiet, stable home where she can hit the restart button. She craves a strong handler, who will be able to consistently correct and redirect her as needed. Gracie is just looking for a little structure in her life. She has a true shepherd disposition – she needs mental and physical stimulation, and someone that will establish rules. In addition to having little visitor traffic, her ideal home would have someone around more often than not. She can be cautious at first but once she establishes trusts, she is incredibly friendly, affectionate and doesn’t want to leave your side. At four years old, this not-so-little 75-lb lady also loves to play!

If you’d like to learn more or adopt Gracie, please submit an adoption application and email kim@bigfluffydogs.com. Gracie is adoptable anywhere in the northeast.


If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-DOG: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
