Meet Gracie — a wise and gentle soul who’s ready to find her forever calm corner of the world.
At 12 years young, this beautiful Shih Tzu has seen a lot, and she’s dealing with some skin and fur challenges right now. But don’t let that fool you—Gracie’s heart is full of love, even if she’s a bit shy and scared at first. Life threw her a curveball when she was surrendered to Chicago Animal Care and Control, and while her past is a bit of a mystery, her future is waiting to be written with kindness, patience, and a whole lot of gentle hugs.
Gracie is the ultimate quiet companion—happy to lounge nearby, soak up soft pets, and gradually come out of her shell when she feels safe. She’s not here for the spotlight, but she’s the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart once you get to know her. With the right home that understands her needs and gives her the calm confidence she deserves, Gracie will reward you with a lifetime of loyal love and peaceful moments.
If you’re looking for a sweet senior pup who’s ready to slow down and enjoy the good life with someone special, Gracie might just be your perfect match.
