Paw Portraits: May 27-31
Gracie is a 2.5-year-old mixed breed who weighs 56 pounds. The SPCA of East Texas pulled this sweet girl from an animal shelter. She had a litter of 9 puppies which have all grown and have found homes of their own. Gracie has settled down a lot now that she’s understanding the routine around here! Once she bonds with you, she absolutely adores you. She is great with all people. Unfortunately, she is dog reactive. She will need to be the only pet in her home. She is definitely very sweet to people. Our staff as well as volunteers have been working to teach her a few commands like sit and down. She loves going for walks out on our trails. She’ll need a backyard for sure, but shouldn’t need a super active family. Just someone who could give her lots of TLC along with lots of chew toys, they are her favorite! Please apply to adopt Gracie by going to www.spcaeasttx.com!
