Meet Grace – A Quiet Soul Ready to Bloom Currently in Mexico – Can travel to WA with a committed trial family Apply to adopt: www.northwestwagrescue.org Adoption Fee: $600 Quick Facts: Name: Grace Age: 3 years Weight: 11.4 kg / 25.13 lbs Breed: Dachshund mix Spayed: Yes Vaccinated: Yes Heartworm Negative: Yes Behavior & Training: Good with dogs Good with kids (though we recommend a home without young children due to her sensitivity) Cat friendly – unknown, hasn’t lived with cats Walks well on leash and enjoys gentle outdoor adventures Fully potty trained Not yet crate trained, but adaptable and eager to learn Sleeps peacefully in a cozy dog bed alongside foster siblings Does well when left alone with other dogs for company Personality:Grace is a soft, soulful, and resilient pup who has blossomed from fear into affection. Once shut down from trauma, she’s now a calm, loving dog who delights in gentle companionship, peaceful walks, and the quiet presence of her trusted humans. She’s not a high-energy dog—Grace thrives in a calm, stable routine and prefers a home where things are low-key and comforting. She’s wonderful with other dogs and truly benefits from canine companionship—especially a confident dog who can help guide and reassure her. Grace may be shy at first, but once she trusts you, her loyalty and affection run deep. She’ll follow you quietly from room to room, curl up nearby, and look to you with eyes full of gratitude and warmth. Grace’s Ideal Home:Grace needs a peaceful, adult-only home or one with older, calm children who can respect her sensitive nature. She would do best with adopters who understand the power of patience and the beauty of slow, steady bonding. A home with another kind, well-adjusted dog would be ideal—she gains so much confidence from having a furry friend around. Her perfect family is one that believes in second chances and understands the joy of watching a once-frightened pup blossom into the loving dog she was always meant to be. Grace’s Story – From Fear to HopeGrace was one of 23 dogs rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation. Her former caretaker, a man once devoted to his dogs, fell into deep depression and addiction. As his life unraveled, so did the care of the animals depending on him. Eventually, his family intervened—reaching out in a final attempt to save the dogs who had been left behind in increasingly dire conditions. Grace was among the smallest and most overlooked. Malnourished, frightened, and likely pushed aside by larger dogs, she had known only neglect and survival. When rescuers arrived, her eyes were filled with fear and uncertainty. But her story didn’t end there. She was taken into loving foster care, and with the help of an ethologist, began the slow journey toward healing. Day by day, she regained trust. Her tail began to wag. Her eyes softened. Her spirit, once dimmed, began to shine again. Grace is Ready for Her New BeginningGrace is a survivor—gentle, loyal, and quietly brave. She’s looking for a forever home filled with love, patience, and peaceful companionship. She doesn’t need much—just a calm routine, a cozy spot to rest, and a heart that’s open to letting her in. Will you be the one to offer Grace the safe, loving home she’s waited so long for? Grace is in Mexico and ready to travel with a committed trial family.
