Gracie (adoptable)

Good golly miss Gracie! What a battle it’s been to get her healthy and to this point, but we are so honored and excited to finally offer her for adoption to the perfect home! Gracie is a 5-year-old Great Dane. She was surrendered, heavily pregnant, to a shelter in New Mexico. Shortly after delivering a huge litter of pups, Gracie went septic. She was rushed to the vet for an emergency spay, wherein they found she had retained a couple of deceased puppies. She was gravely ill and the shelter decided it was best to separate her and her pups. Sadly, they all passed away. About a month later, Gracie was recovered and set out on her journey to Colorado. About an hour or two after she left the shelter, she began to bleed profusely from her lady parts. She was taken immediately to the closest emergency room wherein they found a stich from her spay had come undone – causing her to nearly bleed to death. So, Gracie headed back to the shelter for a few more weeks until she was fully recovered. Then, she set out to come to CO and this time, SHE MADE IT! Since Gracie really wasn’t feeling her best self during her stay in NM, we were so excited to see what an absolute joy she is! Gracie is dog friendly and would LOVE a canine companion that likes to play. She’s down for some serious naptimes, too, don’t get me wrong. Your girl is not hyper-active, by any means. She’s a lap dog (yes, don’t argue with me), loves her crate, and is extremely sensitive to correction so she needs a very gentle home. She’s a couch surfer, bed sleeper, and takes walks daily of around 2-3 miles. Gracie is treat-motivated, loves belly rubs, and really is just looking for her forever family. If this 103 lbs, black beauty, is just what you’ve been missing, please, get your apps in. She’s waited long enough for you to find her!
