Gracie is such a sweet little girl.  She’s very loving and once she bonds with you she just wants to be close to you.  She does well with all her foster pup friends but she really prefers being with her humans.  She’s a little reserved, especially until she gets to know you.  Her curiosity is definitely piqued by squirrels and other small animals so providing her a secure fenced area to play in is necessary.  She would be very likely to run off chasing another animal.  She has a submissive personality with her foster siblings and enjoys having the other pups to play with. 

As much as Gracie loves human companionship, she is not a lap dog.  She is not thrilled about being picked up and carried around.  She will jump up beside you in a chair or on the sofa, but that’s close enough for her!  Gracie had an unfortunate accident when she was younger and broke her left front leg.  It was set immediately after being broken and it healed fine, but it is still just a bit crooked.  Doesn’t seem to bother her or slow her down at all!

If you think Gracie might be the perfect pup for you, please go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org, click on Forms/Application and complete your adoption application online.

We are an all-volunteer group, so please be patient and understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications including reference checks, follow-up questions and home visits.  You can expedite the process by providing accurate email addresses for all your references.  Time to make phone calls is limited and we often have 10 or more applications in process.  We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible.

When your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if Gracie picks you too.

If it seems that the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee, and an adoption contract to be signed.

Please feel free to email weluvpups@hotmail.com or call 434 841 0411 or 540 297 1590 if you have additional questions.
