Meet Gracie!
A loving six-and-a-half-year-old American Pitbull Terrier mix currently in Cypress, TX, whose gentle heart shines as brightly as her lightly golden coat. Weighing about 45 pounds, this affectionate girl is happiest when she is cuddled up beside her favorite people, soaking up warm sunshine in the backyard, or happily accepting hugs and belly rubs. One of Gracie's sweetest quirks is standing up on her back legs to wrap her front paws around you for a heartfelt hug, making every greeting feel extra special!
Gracie is fully house-trained, crate trained, microchipped, spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations, making her an easy companion to welcome into daily life. She enjoys squeaky toys, tasty treats, relaxing car rides, and exciting days at doggy daycare where she has built positive experiences with many canine friends. She knows "sit" and "lay," comes when called, settles comfortably when left alone for short periods, and follows a simple routine of eating twice each day. Loud noises can make her uneasy, so a calm, reassuring environment helps her feel confident.
This people-oriented girl truly thrives on companionship! She is friendly with visitors, enjoys being involved in family activities, and is happiest when she can spend quality time with the people she loves. Gracie has done very well with younger, playful dogs and has enjoyed positive interactions in daycare settings. Because of past household conflicts involving senior dogs during highly emotional situations, she would be happiest as the only dog or with a younger, compatible canine companion after thoughtful introductions. She also benefits from a pet parent who understands positive reinforcement and can thoughtfully manage her resource guarding around high-value treats. She would do well in a home with older, respectful children and without toddlers.
Gracie is ready for her next chapter with a family who will appreciate her loyal heart, playful spirit, and endless affection. If you are in the Houston area, discounted training is available with Gracie's local trainer! Could Gracie be the cuddly companion who has been waiting to fill your days with love and joyful hugs?
