My story

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

I am gentle, gracious Gracie!, a 53 pound 1 year old cattle dog mix! You can lose yourself in my beautiful, intelligent brown eyes! I'm always happy, and I love big! My handlers adore me and nothing makes me happier than making them smile by wagging my tail and snuggling with them! Heck, I am no couch potato though! I love to run and am very fast; you should consider me if you like dog sports or want a jogging partner! 



I know all my basics manners, am house trained, crate trained, microchipped and spayed. What more could you want?



Georgous Gracie won't last long! Apply for her today by going to pawsinprisontx.org to read our guidelines and fill out an appication.

More about this rescue

We are a prison located in Lockhart TX. We rescue dogs from rural area shelters and take them into the prison for training on basic obedience. They are also house trained and crate trained. Training is done by the women inmate handlers. A professional trainer comes to the prison weekly to teach the inmates how to train the dogs. Dogs live at the prison for 2-3 months, in the cells with the inmates, while they are being trained.

All dogs are up to date on their shots, heartworm negative and on preventative, spayed/neutered, microchipped and trained for basic obedience.
