Australian Shepherd / Mixed (Medium Coat)
Description:
♥️Meet Grace, the absolute doll baby!♥️ Grace is sweet, smart, goofy, and bursting with puppy energy, all wrapped up in her precious, compact 30 lb body! Her DNA test shows she’s a mini Aussie mix, and the vet estimates she’s about 1.5 years old. Grace joined her foster home in mid-August after being found with a broken pelvis in a culvert under I-35 near Winstar Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma. She has since healed beautifully and is now fully vetted,dewormed, vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, heartworm-negative, and on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. Grace is mostly crate trained and goes in when asked, though she still occasionally has a potty accident indoors. She rarely barks but will quietly whine if she’s in her crate and needs to go out. We’re working on bell training at the back door so she can let us know when she needs a potty break. This little girl is a hoot! She entertains herself by tossing a tennis ball in the air and catching it or chasing it down. Grace even smiles, showing her teeth, and wags her entire body when she’s happy! She loves to chew and has a nice collection of Nylabones to keep her busy. Her favorite toy is a Lambchop plush, which she proudly carries around, along with a mini blanket she cuddles with at bedtime. Squeaky toys? Not so much; she quickly “kills” the squeakers! Grace adores children, other dogs, and even cats. Her best buddy in her foster home is a cat named PJ. She tries to herd him if he runs off, but she never hurts him, they’re excellent playmates! She would do well in a home with another dog who can handle her enthusiastic puppy energy. Grace has also picked up some great manners from her foster’s 11-year-old Aussie mix, whom she looks up to, although the older dog is a bit less tolerant of puppy antics as she’s aged. We believe Grace would be a fantastic candidate for agility or scent work! Don’t wait too long to fill out an application for this perfect-sized bundle of love and spunk, she’s the sweetest baby you could ever meet and will get scooped up quickly.♥️ To apply for Grace: Texasacr.org We are a non-profit 501c3 Animal Rescue located in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas.
