Hi there… my name is Gracie, and I’m learning what it means to feel safe. I’m 2 years old, and though my past was hard, I’m slowly discovering that there are kind people in this world who want to help me heal. I lived with a family since I was a puppy, but they didn’t always treat me gently. It was super scary, and I tried my best to be a good girl. But when I was hurt and scared, I reacted out of fear. Because of that, I ended up at a shelter, frightened, confused, and completely shut down. The shelter was told that if no one came for me, my story would end there. But AGA stepped in and said, “No way. This sweet girl deserves a second chance.”
Now I’m in a loving foster home where I finally have the space and time to decompress. My foster says I’m very quiet and gentle. I like to rest in my favorite spot, and I’ll go on short walks, which I’m actually quite good at! I’m still scared of sudden movements, but I’ve learned that pets from kind hands feel really nice. I’ve even started giving a few small tail wags, and my foster says that’s a big deal.
I’m looking for a very special home, one that’s calm, patient, and understanding. I need someone who will let me set the pace, who can help me build trust one small step at a time. With slow introductions, gentle love, and reassurance, I know I’ll continue to blossom. I just need to know I’m safe, and that no one will ever hurt me again. It took a lot of caring hearts to get me here, and I’m so grateful for everyone who believed in me. I may be shy right now, but my heart is full of hope. Love, Gracie
