Gracie Lou Update

Due to lack of foster homes, Gracie Lou is still with us. She’s a very nice dog and we’ve learned quite a few things about her:

• she’s affectionate
• she’s good with other dogs
• she’s crate trained (she sleeps in the crate and stays there when we have to leave the house)
• she’s housebroken
• she knows “sit”
• she takes treats very nicely
• she’s learning her name

She’s still a bit timid with people at first, but warms up in literally minutes, especially if the new people give her treats. Once she gets to know someone she seeks out attention and contact. Gracie Lou will need more training. She especially needs work walking on a loose leash, but we always recommend that people who adopt an adult dog take it to training classes. She’s probably not the best choice if there are cats in the household.

You’ll notice some missing hair on the full body photo below. That’s left over from the skin condition she had when she came here. She’s in much better shape now and everything’s under control. That hair will grow back in a few months.

All-in-all, Gracie Lou is a wonderful dog. She’s available for adoption from the Champaign County Humane Society. Call them or stop by and speak to one of the adoption staff about her.
