Gracie is adopted - Feb. 27, 2008
Gracie cried in the car a little bit on the way home and after she did the preliminary investigation of Muscle and of the house she went to the back hall and sat on the step by herself for a while. Muscle went to check her out to make sure she was ok (maybe she was waiting for you to show up and get her, Deb!). She finally decided that this place isn't really that bad and came back to the living room to check out the toy basket and play with the new toy that she brought with her.All of this was, of course, very exhausting so she and Muscle hunkered down for a nap. She sure loves the top of the couch, which is fine with Muscle because he's always preferred the cushions. She's sitting on my lap right now as I type this.
We're so thrilled to have added Gracie to our family and appreciate all of the work you all do for pug rescue!

Gracie came through her surgery very well. She is on different eye drops and clavamox as a precaution against infection. She is very unhappy about wearing a cone because she keeps bumping into things but other than that she is great.Gracie is ready to start looking for her forever home now. Once her post surgery treatments are complete, including her final check up, she will be ready to go! She has lived with children and in an apartment setting. She gets along well with other dogs and with cats. She is friendly and affectionate. Gracie knows her basic commands and is potty trained (almost always).
Foster Update - January 20
Gracie is a great little girl. She is smart and adjusted very well. She knows her basic training commands and is completely potty trained. She hasn't has any accidents. Gracie enjoys the company of the other pugs but we believe she would do well on her own as well. She sleeps in the big bed with people, pugs and cats. She can be a bit dominant but she is the only female in the house and it may just be that.Gracie got a clean bill of health from the vet except for her eyes. She is having surgery for entropia on January 31, 2008. As soon as she has recovered, she will be ready to find her forever home. She is an excellent, smart, loving pug and will make someone a very happy.
Gracie Introduction - Jan 3
Gracie's owner has sadly had to ask us to find a forever home for Gracie. The family is having to move to a co-op and there is a no dog policy. The owner sends us this description:"Gracie is almost 9 years old and we have had her for 5 years. She is a wonderful little dog, very bright, loving and playful. She is healthy, spayed, up to date on her vaccines and fit. She is obedient...most times, but she can be a wee bit stubborn when she wants to, for the most part, listens well. (for a pug)
She is crate trained, she likes to sleep in her crate at night and when we go out, she will stay there too. She is housebroken, but given the opportunity to pee inside rather than outside on a freezing day, she will try, she hates the cold on her bum. This is why when we go out, she is crated, it is just a precaution.
