ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Meet Grace, the spirited pup with a heart full of love and a zest for life that's sure to bring joy to any home. With an estimated weight of 45 lbs, Grace may be compact in size, but she's bursting with energy and affection.
In the realm of canine companionship, Grace is a social butterfly, thriving in the company of other dogs at the Homeward Trails Adoption Center. However, her exuberant play style may require an owner who is active and confident in setting boundaries. With the right guidance, Grace is sure to make a wonderful playmate for a furry friend.
While her interactions with cats and children are currently unknown, Grace's friendly demeanor and love for people suggest that she may adapt well to both with proper introductions and guidance.
Although her command repertoire may be limited, Grace's boundless energy and eagerness to learn make her a prime candidate for training in a quiet environment with minimal distractions. With patience and consistency, she's sure to master new tricks in no time.
In terms of housebreaking, Grace is believed to be housebroken, making her a low-maintenance companion for any household. Additionally, she settles nicely in her crate, providing a safe space for her to relax and unwind.
Grace's list of likes is simple yet heartwarming - she thrives on the love and affection of her human companions, along with tasty treats to reward her good behavior. However, she does have a dislike for loud noises, so a calm and peaceful environment would suit her best.
Despite her past challenges, including sensitivity at the vet and making a mess at home, Grace is ready to turn over a new leaf and find a loving forever family who can provide her with plenty of exercise, enrichment, and, most importantly, unconditional love. If you're seeking a loyal and energetic companion to join your home, look no further than Grace - she's waiting to steal your heart and become your steadfast furry friend for life.
