Adopt a Chinese Crested-Powder Puff (short coat)

Adorable, cuddly, playful and sweet. Little Gracie’s biggest wish is to be the center of 

your

 universe! Gracie 

loves

 her person more than anything, whether that means cuddling on the couch or 

following them from room to room. She is fun and playful 

– she loves fetching a stuffie and will bring it back to you and politely ‘drop it’ when asked. Gracie

 appears to

 h

ave had

 some training and knows ‘sit,’ and she is used to going outside to potty – she has never had a pee accident in her foster home so far. 

When she came to rescue s

he needed to gain 

a little 

weight so she has had a few poo accidents inside, but foster mom thinks it is because 

her body

 was getting used to eating more dog food (a normal amount) every day. 

Gracie is

 crate trained

 and has never had an accident inside her crate

.

While in foster care Gracie has shown a 

definite

 preference for women

 (she tolerates men, and will eventually warm up to them over a few days)

, so it would be great if a woman could be her primary care taker. 

Gracie

 has 

also 

shown a tendency to be 

a bit 

overprotective of her person, especially when new guests enter the house. She has nipped (not bitten) at the hands or ankles of guests entering the house, so for that reason, she would 

need a

 home without small children or small children visitors.

 She is currently being fostered with a female toddler and has never been anything but sweet to her, but it’s better to be on the safe side.

 In an ideal world, her perfect adopter would be a 

woman

 that 

is 

well versed in dog behavior so they could correct Gracie before she ever 

tries to get nippy with guests (

or 

else 

she would need to be crated 

or put in a separate room when guests come

 over

)

. 

Gracie

 is 

currently 

being fostered with other dogs 

without incident 

but she does not need a canine companion, she woul

d 

probably

 

prefer

 to

 be the only dog in order to lap up all the affection!
