Story

*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE ONLY FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS *** **Adoption fee waived for prior adopters, fosters and hosts** Say hello to this senior sweetheart, Grapevine! She is a friendly, calm girl who prefers a bit of independence. After settling in, her curiosity will have her following you and wanting to be sitting and cuddling with you on her own terms and in her own time. Grapevine has found that she actually likes to snuggle and cuddle up most of time, but she prefers it to be her choice. Although shy at first, this little gal is curious – paying attention and carefully watching you and checking out her new situation. Once she’s convinced that all is well and she feels as though she’s in control, Grapevine will be ready to be your best friend! Her foster reported seeing her change after 3 days, blossoming a little more each day. Grapevine must not have had the kindest lot in life prior to coming to Saving Grace, as she seems to be experiencing so many new things for the first time in her foster home. She's learning about potty training, and is doing well when taken out regularly. This gal enjoys going outside for short periods of time, but seems to know to use potty pads if she can’t wait. Grapevine will follow her furry friends outside, not wanting to be left out, unless the weather is wet and frigid. As she unwinds and get more comfortable in her foster home, she has been spotted playing with soft toys and furry friends her size. An equal opportunity friend, Grapevine does great with both dogs and cats! Grapevine's a smart lady who will come to you when she wants to be picked up or to soak in some couch snuggles, and she is learning to love being loved on in her own time. She is definitely curious about her human and will follow you around the house to see what you’re up to. Crate time is no problem, as Grapevine sleeps very well in her crate and will occasionally go in just to chill and have her own quiet time. Telling her its bedtime and encouraging her to go to her crate has been successful. Grapevine is a lovely and loving girl who would love to find her forever home that comes with extra patience, and possibly a lower energy sibling. We heard through the grapevine that she just might be scooped up soon, so make an appointment to meet her today!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

At 57 lbs., this handsome shepherd mix is a gentle giant with a thick black and tan coat that’s just as beautiful as his heart. Tortuga may be a big boy, but his soul is soft and sweet. He’s a loyal companion in the making, just waiting for his forever family to help him shine. Tortuga gets along well with his new dog friends and happily welcomes pets and affection from his human buddies at Saving Grace. He’s a bit timid in new surroundings, but with patience and encouragement, his confidence grows each day, growing as big as his heart. Once he feels safe, his loving nature truly comes through. He’s joined the hiking team and loves to walk and adventure in true shepherd spirit with his people. With regular exercise, stimulation, and love, Tortuga promises to give his whole heart in return. Tortuga is ready to begin his next chapter in his forever home. *Sleepover feedback: "He’s friendly and curious on walks. I was pleasantly surprised with how great he is with leash walking! He’s a bigger dog but he doesn’t even pull! We also did some light jogging and it was great. He kept pace with me. He did this very sweet thing where he would constantly look at me for reassurance during a walk/jog, as if making sure he wasn’t going too fast for me. He had no issues with the crate and he loves sitting by the window and gazing outside".

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Erin is a fun, energetic young girl who seems to be right in that in-between stage of puppyhood and her teenage years. She’s curious about everything and still likes to nibble and explore with her mouth, but she’s working on learning her puppy manners with much enthusiasm. Erin feels very safe and comfortable in her crate and sleeps quietly through the night. When meeting new dogs, she appreciates a little time to warm up, but once she’s comfortable, she loves to play—especially with dogs her size or smaller. Her play style is bouncy and playful, full of happy jumps and excitement. Erin was often so excited to play that she didn’t slow down much for cuddles, but her playful spirit and eagerness to engage really shine through. With a little time, consistency, and continued guidance, Erin is sure to grow into a wonderful companion who will balance playtime and affection beautifully. *Sleepover feedback: "Erin is the sweetest girl! She sleeps soundly through the night in her crate and used the potty outside. She loves to be near people and likes to stand between your legs while cooking or washing dishes. She loves to sleep under the table and has the cutest little snore. She’s does pretty well on a leash and learned how to sit very quickly for treats"!

Kimberly

Hound (Unknown Type)

Female, 4 mos

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story

*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE STARTING WEDNESDAY 3/4 *** Kimberly is the kind of puppy who melts hearts the moment you meet her. This easygoing, playful girl has a wonderful balance of cuddly, calm, and happy zoomies, making her a perfect fit for so many homes. She’s already showing what a smart cookie she is — Kimberly has fantastic crate manners, is off to a great start with going potty outside, and eagerly performs “sit” and “come” for treats with impressive enthusiasm. She’s soft as can be (seriously, you won’t stop petting her), walks beautifully on a leash, and enjoys being around other dogs. She’s curious about cats — perhaps a little too curious — so slow introductions will be important in a feline household. She loves kids, especially when they match her energy and run around with her outside. She will chase a ball and could definitely be trained to retrieve it (she’s a little too distracted in her puppy phase)! Kimberly also has a playful mischievous streak that keeps life fun. She absolutely loves to chew, so shoes, backpacks, and homework beware — she is not kidding! Providing plenty of appropriate chew toys will keep her happy and your belongings safe. She’s also surprisingly agile and loves to perch up high on couches, chairs, and even ledges like a tiny mountain goat (or maybe a cat in disguise). With her sweet nature, smarts, and joyful spirit, Kimberly is ready to bring laughter, snuggles, and just the right amount of puppy adventure to her forever family.
