We were shocked to learn Tabitha was heartworm positive and are in the process of getting her treated so she can live a long life. She is the smallest one we have had to treat so far but we are confident she will come through with flying colors so she can be adopted by a wonderful family. Although she does not do well with young children, she does extremely well with older children and adults. She also does plays well with other dogs but may sometimes show her "queen" attitude to make sure they do not forget who is in charge. If you are looking for a wonderful companion and lap dog, please contact us for an application for her. Please keep in mind that she will not be available to adopt until her treatment is over. Her adoption timeline should be in July.
Gracie's HEART of Gold attempts to help many dogs who have heartworm or other illnesses or injuries. Due to the amount of emergencies and heartworm positive dogs we have recently had, our extra funds are depleted for this type of thing. Every adoption helps fund more lifesaving medical care and helps pay for the necessary vet bills (i.e. spaying/neutering, heartworm testing, vaccinations, etc.) we have for each animal in our care.
We do not have any puppies at the moment! But that can change in a heartbeat!!

Thanks so much to all the wonderful people who helped us save lives since starting our rescue in 2003. We have found so many wonderful homes for all of our babies during this time. We are hoping to find homes for some of our older and larger dogs also. The puppies always go so quickly and the older ones need special homes too. Please take a look at some of these who have been with us for a long time and consider making them a part of your family.
We are a very small rescue group currently working on getting a non-profit status. We rescue animals, primarily from the local shelter, as often as possible. The President and Co-Founder of Gracie's H.E.A.R.T. of Gold, Kim Lane May, is also the Board President of the local humane society. At this point, all of the animals rescued through us come from this shelter based on the extreme overcrowding that continues to go on there. We are so passionate about saving as many lives as we can and appreciate all of the interest in the animals we rescue. We get extremely attached to all the "babies" we rescue and therefore may seem a bit stringent on our policies. We truly are in this to find the perfect fit and the best possible home for each animal we rescue. We often find numerous wonderful families for each animal and do our best to continue to find an animal suited for each family who expresses a desire to give one of our babies a forever home. We love to keep in touch and get wonderful updates from our adoptive families and try to visit when we can, so we can see "our babies". We have met so many wonderful and absolutely unbelievable families since 2003 when we first started doing this. So many friendships have been formed based on our mutual bond and love for the animal adopted. For each is a blessing not only for the animals, but for us. While we miss each and every animal we have adopted out, we know in our hearts they are in the best possible place they could ever be...and for that we are grateful. Thanks to all who have taken into your hearts and your homes one of our own and made them one of your own....You are our angels. You are our heros.
We will send out adoption applications for any party interested in adopting from us. We will screen each applicant and base our final decision on this information provided and also do a home visit. We reserve the right to refuse adoption to any applicant for any reason. We do adopt out of state but do not ever "ship" our animals as we require a face to face meeting in order to confirm the match is the best for the animal and family. Our adoption fees average $150-250 for adults and pups. This is due to the rising costs of veterinary care, gasoline prices, and boarding fees which are paid for out of our own pockets. As we are not funded by anyone - adoption donations help to offset only a part of our cost of getting the dog ready for adoption. All dogs > 6months are vetted, up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested, wormed and have a goody starter bag. Puppies < 6 months will have at least 2 puppy vaccinations, microchipped, wormed, and goody starter bag. If age appropriate, will potentially also be spayed/neutered and have rabies vaccination also. You will be required to provide proof of spaying/neutering after adoption along with a rabies vaccination, if necessary. Kittens and Cats are typically $35-75 based on the vet care. If mature enough all will be spayed/neutered.
PETFINDER.COM AND SHELTERCARE PET INSURANCE are offering 1 FREE MONTH of pet insurance when you adopt from us. We strongly advise you do this and you must enroll within 10 days of adoption. You can also get insurance for your other pets through this program at very reasonable rates. Please click on the picture link below to see enrollment options.
IN SUPPORT OF THE MARION-GRANT COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY AND THE FACT THE MAJORITY OF OUR ANIMALS COME FROM THIS SHELTER, I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE SEES THE CONDITION OF THE SHELTER. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE VIDEOS I MADE TO DEDICATE TO CHERYL WALKER FOR HER UNLIMITED DEVOTION TO GETTING OUR SHELTER ANIMALS A BETTER HOME AND GETTING MORE ADOPTED. OUR SHELTER HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY DETERIORATING AND OUR ADOPTIONS DECLINING. WITH HER EFFORTS, SHE IS MAKING AMAZING STRIDES. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AND SEND YOUR SUPPORT HER WAY, IF POSSIBLE, PLEASE. SHE CAN BE EMAILED AT MGCHS2004@YAHOO.COM.
