What an adorable little munchkin Gracie is! With her squishy face and one ear, her little smile is very endearing. Everybody she meets falls in love immediately.
Gracie came into care from the pound and lucky she did! She had been missing out on the TLC she deserved! She was stinky, and incredibly dirty with ear and tail pocket infections, together with being a little underweight and on heat. This girl needed a spa session!! She behaves so well for baths and didn’t even mind her poochie pedicure!
With a bit of TLC and regular baths, she has brushed up nicely. All her infections are gone, and her coat is looking good now. Gracie just needs regular maintenance (ear, skin folds, tail pocket cleaning, nails, and regular baths) like all French Bulldogs do, along with medication for her allergies. She has been easy care really and just fitted into her foster home like she belongs.
Gracie enjoys being with her people most in the world! She is loyalty personified! She must have a lap to snuggle up on, even a mat next to the throne – because she will follow you everywhere you go - and in her opinion, she would be happy for you to just attach her to your side In all seriousness, she is your poochie best friend. She gets on well with our other dogs and would prefer to be homed with other dogs as she gets a little anxious if left on her own. She has been fine to be left with our dogs for the day.
Of course, Gracie also likes to go with you. She is good in the car and easy to walk on lead. She has enjoyed the ‘café set’ sitting quietly and watching the world go by, going into the aged care home to see family, and watching her foster brother doing hydrotherapy (amongst a group of other dogs).
Gracie would be best homed with a submissive or easy-going canine friend as if challenged by another dog, she will respond. We have only seen this a couple of times in the past 3 months with our reactive, resource-guarding boy. Otherwise, she has been a dream when taken out and has coped with our 11-month-old staffy X pup’s boofy playful advances and even joins in the games and shares bones and beds with him.
Gracie is crate trained, her toilet training is much more reliable, and her gentle snoring will provide white noise as she sleeps next to you on the bed at night.
We cannot fault this girl! If the timing was different, she would be staying. Gracie has had surgery to widen her nasal passages.
Gracie is a house dog who always requires access to the home, being a Frenchie, she needs regular baths and attention paid to her skin folds.
