Story
Welcome back to Mostly Muttz Rescue, Grace!
Once considered a feral pup, Grace has blossomed into a loving, affectionate girl who embraces each day and craves love and connection. She was recently returned to the rescue simply because her adopter was looking for a more fully trained dog—something Grace is still working toward, with great progress.
At around 30 lbs, Grace is likely at her full adult size. She’s known as “Gracie” to her foster family, who adore her soft, fluffy coat and signature curly tail. When she first arrived, she had no idea what human affection was—but now? She’s a total cuddlebug. Gracie loves curling up next to her person, soaking in pets, belly rubs, and especially ear and paw massages. She’s a little princess in the making.
Gracie’s personality is as big as her heart. She loves other dogs and thrives in their company. While she gets along with all pups, she tends to gravitate toward females for play and snuggles. She enjoys soft toys she can “de-squeak,” cozy blankets to roll around in, and keeping a watchful eye on the neighborhood—she may just be your new nosy neighbor! We’d love to see her in a home with another dog to help her continue building confidence.
While she’s still a bit shy around new people, Gracie has learned to look to her human and canine companions for cues. She does best when approached slowly and gently, and she’s a follower at heart—still building self-assurance. Because of this, it’s essential that Gracie’s adopter steps confidently into the leadership role. She needs someone who can provide gentle but consistent structure and guidance, ensuring she doesn’t feel the need to take on that role herself. A calm, patient, and confident home will help her feel safe and secure.
She’s currently living with two respectful teenagers and does well with them, but we feel younger children might be too overwhelming for her. Older, respectful kids would be a great fit.
Gracie is fine being picked up, does well during baths, and enjoys car rides. She hasn’t visited a groomer yet, but she’s easy to maintain at home.
A fenced yard would be a bonus but isn’t necessary—Gracie is walking nicely on a leash and looks to her person for reassurance when facing something new. She’s not reactive to dogs or people on walks and has a healthy curiosity for squirrels and bunnies, though her prey drive is low.
She’s still working on mastering potty training but understands what’s expected of her and does well with routine. While not a fan of the crate, she is crate trained and manages well when needed. She knows basic commands like “sit” and “stay,” though her focus can wander when she gets excited.
Gracie is an incredible little dog with so much potential. She just needs a family willing to offer her the time, patience, and clear direction to settle in and flourish. Her smile lights up the room, and she’s always so proud of herself after conquering something new with her person by her side. With love, consistency, and a confident leader, Gracie is sure to shine—and be the cherished heart of her forever home.
Gracie is fostered in Reading (Berks County), Pennsylvania and able to head to her furever home.
Gracie is part of our Meet Me program which means you can talk to her foster before applying or becoming an approved adopter. You can even meet her in person before deciding whether or not you’d like to apply. Just send an email to meet_me@mostlymuttz.org with your contact information and her foster will be in touch!
