Grace is just beginning to discover what the world can be, and like any shy Valentine, everything still feels a little new—and a little scary. With very limited life experience, she’s searching for a quiet, patient home with adopters who understand under-socialized, fearful dogs and who believe the sweetest love stories are the ones written slowly, at a dog’s own pace.
When given time, space, and gentle encouragement, Grace reveals the soft, loving soul underneath. She thrives when she can observe, sniff, and explore without pressure, building confidence one tiny step at a time. A secure fenced yard would help her feel safe as she learns to trust her new life, allowing her to explore without the fear of running away while her bravery continues to grow.
Grace has lived with other dogs before, though her history with children and cats is unknown, so thoughtful introductions and patient guidance will be important. Because finding the right match matters so much, the entire family will need to come meet Grace to be sure it’s a true love connection.
Beneath her cautious exterior, we know Grace’s goofy, bouncy Boxer spirit is waiting to shine. With calm routines, positive reinforcement, and a family ready to celebrate every small victory, she will blossom into a deeply loving and joyful companion. If you believe in slow, gentle love that grows stronger every day, Grace may be the Valentine your heart has been waiting for.
