You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. // Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee $400 plus taxGracie is the sweetest and happiest little lady! She has the sweetest soul and loves to be loved. She’s playful, goofy, and loves being with her people. She had heartworm over the Fall/Winter and is now loving life not being on exercise restrictions. She has a heartworm test at the end of July and if it’s negative then she will be spayed. She loves to chase squirrels and birds and will spend all day sitting outside making sure the squirrels stay out of her yard. She also loves her 1-2 daily walks and for the most part she does well on the leash during walks, but we are working on her pulling when she’s on the leash anywhere else. Even though she's part Heeler, her energy level is pretty moderate. Our walks are 1-2 miles and if shes outside she'll patrol the yard and chase squirrels, but she'll also hang out on the deck. Some things she likes doing while inside- playing with toys, chewing bones, and looking out the window. She would love if her forever home has a big window she can look out, fenced yard, and a family that will spoil her with attention. She’s met a few kids ranging in ages from 3-13 and she was great with them. She hasn’t met anyone she doesn’t like. She can get mouthy/nippy when playing and she will run out the door if it’s open with no one blocking it to stop her so if she goes to a house with kids, older kids would be a better fit for her. She is picky about dogs so she would like to be the only dog in the house. She will need slow introductions to dogs and does better with dogs who are calm and give her space. The first week she was free to run in the yard she did fence fight the neighbor's dogs, but she’s really quick to pick things up and takes redirection really well so after working with her, she doesn't care about those dogs, even if they come up to the fence and bark at her. She is not a fan of the kennel so she's free to roam the house when left alone and she does great. She is warming up to car rides, but gets nauseas/stressed in the car so no road trips for this gal. Gracie is such an amazing dog and if you’re looking for a dog who can be independent, but still loves attention; is cuddly, but also playful then she's your girl!
