Gracie

Breed:  Am Staff mix

Age/Sex:  6 mo/Female

 

Gracie is a sweet six-month-old white Am Staff mix puppy (DOB 10/4/09) who originally ended up at the SPCA in Georgetown, DE when she was a tiny pup.   She came in with a torn ear and was obviously deaf.  All white, with gorgeous light colored eyes and a brown nose, she is a cutie. 

Shortly after arriving, Gracie went into a foster home and was reportedly doing so well, her foster Mom decided to adopt her.  Well now, after four months, Gracie is back at the shelter and it appears that she received no training in the interim.  She is a very affectionate dog but still very much a puppy with all the behavior that comes with that.  Deaf dogs can be trained but they don't learn by osmosis.  Poor Gracie deserved a home where someone would take the time and effort to train her but it didn't work out that way.  Now she desperately needs someone who is willing to work with her, ideally someone with deaf dog experience. 

Gracie is a very sweet girl but she needs to be out of the shelter and into a loving home where she can be properly trained as soon as possible.
