Shih Tzu : : Female (spayed) : : Adult : : Small
Gracie is a darling little Shih Tzu who came to SFCR after being released from a commercial breeder. She was in rough shape when she arrived to rescue but is looking and feeling so much better now. Gracie is timid - especially when meeting new people. She just needs a little extra time to warm up and trust that she is safe. She is still nervous about being picked up and will go belly up when reached for but is not nippy at all. Gracie will need a person with a calm and gentle touch willing to give her the extra time she needs to acclimate. Gracie is crate trained and doing very well with her housetraining. She does great with the other dogs and even the cat in her foster home. She will make someone a wonderful little companion.

Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they may need extra time to adjust and settle in. Older children are often a great fit for our dogs, and family's with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may require a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly. |
