Our darling little tiger striped Gracie is such a BRAVE little gal.. One could only imagine what a dog might go through to cause them to be so untrusting of new people but Gracie and her sister Greta are a real testament to just how resilient dogs can be. We aren't sure where these girls came from but we do know that have a bright future ahead of them!

Gracie has only been with us for a few weeks now and in that short amount of time, she has really come out of her shell and allowed her vibrant true colors to shine! Gracie will often make herself small in hopes to go unnoticed to anything that scares her.. We have found that Gracie thrives in a routine.. it allows her to feel safe relying on daily continuities while we broaden her horizons by bringing her into new and different experiences.

Gracie quickly learned how to walk on a leash and follow her confident doggie companions, Buster and Spanky's, lead. She will, at times, hit the panic button if a situation too much for her to handle arises but is learning to observe and settle as we go. She is feeling comfortable enough to explore all different areas of the farm including the play yards! The first few days Gracie was here, she was too nervous to explore the yards.. she would stay close to the fence for safety and slink around trying to make herself invisible. well, that changed quickly!! Check out the video above to see her in action! Sprinting like a gazelle through the pachysandra and chasing her buddy Buster!

Gracie is working so hard.. she is incredibly curious! From the moment she stepped off the transport van, spunky little Gracie has surprised us with just how courageous she is. Different from her sister, Gracie is a bit more willing to go out and inspect things that once caused her concern. She will shift from a nervous gear into an inquisitive one in moments. Gracie is a little charmer who is getting more acclimated by the day and whoever is lucky enough to take her home will see how rewarding it is to rescue a shy doggie!
