Meet Grace – The Furry Soulmate You Didn’t Know You Needed
Let me tell you about a girl named Grace. She’s got a smile in her eyes, a pep in her step, and the kind of heart that will quietly stitch yours back together when life feels frayed at the seams.

She’s an Australian Shepherd, but more importantly, she’s a Grace — the kind of dog whose very presence feels like a warm mug of cocoa on a stormy day. At just two years old, Grace somehow already understands that the world can be heavy sometimes, and she’s made it her mission to carry a little of that weight for you.
Whether it’s with a soft nuzzle to your cheek or a full-body cuddle that ends with her flopped across your lap like a very fluffy blanket, Grace is the dog who just knows.
She’s a swirl of opposites in the best possible way: one minute, she’s dancing by the door, leash in mouth, ready for a beachside adventure; the next, she’s nestled at your feet while you sip your coffee, sighing with contentment as if to say, “This… this is the good life.”
But let’s rewind for a moment. Grace didn’t come from hardship or hurt. She comes from love — the kind of love that aches when you know what’s best isn’t always what’s easiest. Her current person adores her deeply.
But after a recent move to a home too small for Grace’s big spirit, they made the heart-wrenching decision to find her a new home where she can stretch her legs, chase dreams (and squirrels), and be the shining, silly, soulful dog she was born to be.
Grace has no behavior issues. No health problems. No long list of “quirks” to manage. She’s simply a bright, joyful dog who thrives with space to play and people to love. She even gets along beautifully with other dogs (especially her puppy pal, Skarl) and has a calm, nurturing presence that seems to bring out the best in everyone.
Want to know her idea of a perfect day? It starts with a game of fetch — preferably involving a squeaky toy she can parade around like a trophy. Then a walk (cue the tail-wagging dance of joy), followed by a peanut butter treat, some backyard bubble-chasing, and an evening snuggled by your side, listening to the quiet hush of a day well spent. If she gets to splash in some water or crunch a frozen carrot along the way, even better.
And while she’ll fill your life with laughter and play, what really sets Grace apart is her emotional intelligence. Once, sensing her person’s sadness, she simply laid her head on their shoulder and stayed there. No bark, no demand — just presence. Just love.
Grace is fully vaccinated, house-trained, and ready to fill your life with everything wonderful about having a dog: loyalty, laughter, purpose, and the occasional muddy pawprint on your heart.
If you’ve got room in your home — and your soul — for a dog who will make you feel more human just by being near, Grace is waiting.
Apply now to adopt this one-in-a-million girl. She’s got a leash with your name on it — and a whole lot of love to give.

2. Her goofy playfulness — she’ll happily entertain herself with a toy and then drop it in your lap to join.

Grace’s Personality
Grace is a joyful, affectionate, and intelligent Australian Shepherd who lights up every room she’s in. She’s playful and social, but also incredibly gentle and attuned to her people.
She has a silly, loving nature and always seems to know when you need a little extra comfort or a happy distraction. Grace gets along wonderfully with other animals and has been raised around both large and small dogs.
Grace’s Favorite Toys, Foods, Activities?
Grace adores playing fetch with her favorite ball, chewing on a plush squeaky toy, or chasing bubbles in the yard. She loves long walks (especially beach strolls) and is happiest when she’s outside exploring or snuggled up inside afterward. She enjoys splashing around in the water , chomping on peanut butter treats and bones, and the occasional frozen carrot or ice cube to crunch on.
Cute Grace Story:
One evening, I was feeling overwhelmed and sat down on the floor with my head in my hands. Grace quietly walked over, rested her head on my shoulder, and just stayed there like she knew I needed her.
Moments like that are just who she is — naturally comforting and emotionally tuned in. Also, watching her gently teach her puppy, Skarl, how to chase a ball was both hilarious and adorable — she kept bringing it back and dropping it in front of her like, “Now it’s your turn.”
Why is Grace Being Rehomed?
I recently moved into a much smaller home with limited outdoor space, and while Grace is still very loved and well cared for, I know she deserves more room to roam and a family with the time and energy to match her enthusiasm for life. This decision comes from a place of love and a deep desire to give her the best possible future.
Grace’s Perfect Adoptive Home Will Be:
Grace would thrive in a home with space to run, preferably with a fenced yard or access to safe walking trails or a park. An active, loving family — possibly with other pets or children — would be ideal.
She’s very people-oriented, so a home where she isn’t left alone for long stretches would be best. I’d love for her to be adopted with her puppy Skarl, but the most important thing is that she’s truly loved.
Do you hope or intend to stay in touch with your pet in its new home?
Yes, if the adoptive family is open to it, I would love occasional updates or photos. Grace has been such an important part of my life, and knowing she’s happy would mean the world to me.
Grace is fully vaccinated and healthy. She’s house-trained, crate-trained, and well-socialized with both people and other dogs. She’s gentle, smart, and endlessly loving — a true companion.
Rehoming her is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, but I know the right home is out there, and I’m hopeful she’ll continue her beautiful life journey with a family who adores her just as much as I do.
