My story

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

(DOB 09/15/2021) Gracie is heartworm positive and our rescue will treat her so don't let that stop you from adopting this cutie! For this reason, she is adoptable within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC.



Gracie is a fun-loving hound mix with a heart as big as her personality. She’s dog-friendly through and through and truly hasn’t met a pup she didn’t like. Kids? Yep, likes them, too. Strangers? She doesn’t know the meaning of the word. Everyone is instantly her new best friend. Gracie hasn’t had the chance to meet cats yet, so that remains an unknown.



If you’re hoping to skip some of the basics, Gracie has you covered. She’s house trained, listens well, and is especially impressive with her recall. She’s continuing to build confidence on leash and is making nice progress with her walking manners, sometimes just needing a little reassurance along the way. A fenced yard (4 ft or higher) is important for her so she can run, play, and burn off some energy while she becomes fully comfortable with daily leash walks.



Gracie would do well as either an only dog or as part of a doggy family, though she’d likely be happiest with a four-legged friend to share life with. She thrives on love, attention, and being included in the fun. Like many hounds, she’s curious, clever, and always interested in what’s going on! Her curious nature can get her in a "little bit of trouble." If you don't keep an eye out around the kitchen, just know she may just "go for it" (aka counter surf). She also loves to chew, so a good supply of toys and chews will keep her happy and occupied.



Gracie is good in the car but it is still something that is new to her, so she is still adjusting to a world on wheels. With that in mind, she still can get car sick. 



Sweet, social, and full of charm, Gracie is ready to bring joy, laughter, and lots of tail wags to her forever home. Looking for love on four legs? Gracie is waiting!



As part of Gracie’s $300 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet girl, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Gracie, you can fill in an online application for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1. Review the description of the pet you are interested in to make sure that the information we have fits with your particular needs and desires. In most cases, the information on the website is current and gives the information that we have about the particular pet. The picture of the pet does not tell the whole story.

2. Complete the adoption application at https://pawsforlifenc.org. Please make sure that you give us as much information about yourself as you can. List all animals currently living with you including other dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. The application needs to be complete in order to help us determine if the pet you have chosen is a good match for your home.

3. Once the application is submitted we will contact you, your references, and your vet.

4. We require a home visit prior to dog adoptions.

5. If more than one person applies, we will go with the BEST fit. If all things are equal, we go in the order the applications were received.

6. Once the home visit has been completed, you will be asked to complete an adoption agreement.

7. The adoption fee is $325 for dogs under 6 months, $300 for 6 months and older. The adoption fee is $125 for kittens under 1 year ($225 for 2 kittens), $85 for cats 1 year and older. This fee helps us to provide the necessary medical care and other needs for the pets while in foster care.

8. All Paws For Life NC pets are spayed or neutered if old enough, current on shots, micro chipped, and to our knowledge, in good health before they are adopted out. Puppies under 6 months of age will require a $100 refundable spay/neuter deposit in addition to the adoption fee and a special puppy spay/neuter agreement. Kittens under 6 months will require a $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit in addition to the adoption fee. We are all volunteers and receive no monetary compensation for our work with the pets. The adoption fee is used to help defray costs in the rescue and care of the pets.

9. Congratulations! You are on your way to having your new companion. We hope that you and your new companion share a life of love and happiness. We welcome any comments you may wish to give us about your pet at any time.
