Gracie lost her home when her owner became ill. Gracie is a wonderful puppy that is very active, playful, and sweet, however she is a dominate dog and has not gotten on well with the older (grumpy) female in the household where she has been staying since her owner became ill. It is believed that the older female may be the instigator and Gracie may get along with other females, but this is unknown. Gracie has made buddies with the young male German Shepherd in the household. Note that Gracie's foster home is near the Peoria, IL area.

A special thank you goes out to Gracie's sponsor: Mark & Janet Koonce in honor of Bodie & Sammie. Steve Hitz in memory of Marah & Gretchen. Cheryl Smith in honor of King.

Please fill out an Application if you are interested in adopting or would like more information about this dog. We receive a large number of emails asking if a particular home or situation is appropriate for a dog in our care. To evaluate this, we need you to fill out an application.

If you have questions about adoption fees and what the fees include, these questions will be answered in the Application information before you fill out any information about yourself. Applications will be responded to before any other inquiries.

We do thank you for considering adopting a dog through rescue and believe that by saving the life of a dog you show that you are a compassionate and caring person. Please remember that we are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that receives no government funding and functions on proceeds from our adoption fees and private donations. Please respect the time our volunteer's take away from their family to do rescue and fill out an application before contacting us.

If you have small children, please read this first.
