Story
Meet Grace—affectionately known as Gracie. This beautiful, resilient girl has been adopted and returned twice, through no fault of her own. Despite these setbacks, Gracie continues to blossom into the loving, loyal companion she was always meant to be, thanks to the care and devotion of her foster family.
Gracie is a charming mix of independence and tenderness. She enjoys affection, but always on her terms, and has just the right amount of spunky sass—earning her the nickname “huffy puffy” when she’s feeling extra expressive.
She absolutely adores other dogs and thrives in their company. While she gets along well with all pups, she tends to form the closest bonds with females. A friendly, confident canine companion would be an ideal match to help her continue building trust and self-assurance. Naturally submissive, Gracie takes comfort in following a trusted lead—whether human or canine—and blossoms in environments that offer gentle structure and positive reinforcement.
Though affectionate, Gracie is still learning to fully trust people. She warms up slowly and does best when given space, time, and a calm approach. Once she feels safe, she looks to her humans and furry friends for cues and guidance. Because she’s a follower by nature, she needs a patient, confident adopter who can provide consistent leadership in a soothing, structured environment.
Gracie doesn’t enjoy being crated and would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time. While she is crate trained and manages when necessary, she’s happiest when included in the rhythm of everyday life. She currently lives peacefully with two respectful teenagers but would be best suited to a quieter household without small children, as too much commotion can overwhelm her.
Out and about, Gracie is a dream on leash—calm, curious, and non-reactive to people or other dogs. She has a mild interest in squirrels and bunnies, but her prey drive is low. She’d love a fenced yard where she can run and explore, but it’s not essential. Gracie’s true joys include car rides (especially when she can stand tall in the middle seat with the sunroof open), cozy blankets, soft squeaky toys she can de-stuff, and, of course, a good chew toy. She’s a little nosy, too—always keeping an eye on the neighborhood like your own furry watch committee.
Gracie is gentle and tolerant for baths, fine with being picked up, and easy to groom at home, though she hasn’t visited a professional groomer yet.
This special little girl has a big heart and so much untapped potential. Her progress so far has been remarkable, and in the right home—with time, patience, and loving guidance—she’s going to truly shine. Her smile lights up a room, and she beams with pride every time she conquers something new. If you’re ready to share your life with a dog who will love you in her own quiet, loyal way, Gracie just might be the perfect match you’ve been waiting for.
Gracie is fostered in Reading (Berks County), Pennsylvania and able to head to her furever home.
Gracie is part of our Meet Me program which means you can talk to her foster before applying or becoming an approved adopter. You can even meet her in person before deciding whether or not you’d like to apply. Just send an email to meet_me@mostlymuttz.org with your contact information and her foster will be in touch!
