My Grace is Gone


Gracie has found her forever home!  She moved all the way up to north Kansas.  She lives in the country with 16 acres to run around on and burn up all that energy.  She joins two other young boxers that love to play.   There are a bunch of kids in the family that visit regularly too.  Sounds like our girl will stay plenty busy. 
 
We got up at 4am on Saturday and the whole crew piled into the car to meet Gracie's new mom and dad up in Joplin, MO, the half way point.  We were planning to meet at 9:00.  I got a text from them at 8:15 that they were already at the park.  When we got there, she told me that they had been too excited to sleep and were awake and ready to go at 2am! 
 
We visited for a while and when it was time to go, Gracie hopped willingly into their car, more than ready to start her new life.  It's a little easier to let go when they are confident like Gracie.  I knew she'd be fine.  She is the definition of happy and always up for anything.   
 
I got a text that afternoon from the rescue director.  It said "Thank you so much for all you and Jonathon did for Gracie.  I know you two were her only hope in ever getting a home."  Although I don't think that is necessarily true, it was very nice to hear.  This is why we take the ones that nobody else wants to try.  She is a wonderful dog.  She just needed some guidance after a rough start at life.

  1. Awwww, sounds like Gracie's new home is perfect! I'm sure you'll already have a new foster when we visit in three weeks. Can't wait!!
    Love.
