About another dog becoming her best friend. About familiar footsteps coming through the door. About having a favorite spot in a home that belongs to her.<br/><br/>About being safe enough that someday, being afraid isn't the first thing on her mind.<br/><br/>Grace doesn't need someone to save her.<br/><br/>She needs someone willing to give her the time to discover who she is when she finally feels safe.<br/><br/>SOMEWHERE OUT THERE IS GRACE'S PERSON.<br/><br/>Maybe they won't be looking for a dog like Grace.<br/><br/>Maybe they'll simply read this, see those beautiful eyes, and feel something they can't quite explain.<br/><br/>If that's you...<br/><br/>Maybe Grace has been waiting for you, too.<br/> <br/><br/>If you would like to be considered as a potential adopter for one of our great dogs, please go to our website- (SEE PINNED POST) and submit an application.

Submitting an application for a particular dog does not guarantee that you will be the applicant chosen, we receive several applications for each dog. Our adopters are picked based on the needs of the dog, and the home we feel with best fit based on your responses to our application, vet information and landlord requirements. Approved applicants not chosen for the dog you applied for, will be in active status for a period of six months. We encourage you to watch Petfinder, Facebook and our website for upcoming dogs. Should you see a dog that interests you, please send us a Facebook message or an email with your approval number. Please be patient with us, as Lucky Mutts Rescue is run strictly by volunteers and many of us work full time jobs, have families and also foster dogs.

GRACE IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL

Meet Grace, a beautiful 2-year-old Goldendoodle mix, about 50 pounds, with the most gorgeous curly red coat.

Grace is a quiet, sensitive girl who is still figuring out this whole "people are safe" thing.

She's made progress since coming into foster care. She allows us to pet her, she's learning the routine of a home, and we're beginning to figure out what makes her feel most comfortable.

One of her favorite discoveries has been my elderly father's bed.

She'll climb up, curl into the blankets, and sleep beside him. There isn't a lot of interaction between them — and that's okay. He's quiet. The room is calm. Nobody is asking anything from her.

For Grace, that's enough to let her relax.

And that's really what we're searching for.

Not someone who expects Grace to become a different dog overnight.

Someone who can give her an entire HOME that feels as safe as that bed does.

And that's really what we're searching for.

Not someone who expects Grace to become a different dog overnight.

Someone who can give her an entire HOME that feels as safe as that bed does.

Grace is still frightened by quick or unpredictable movements, and she's going to need time to learn her new people and surroundings. We don't know how quickly her confidence will grow.

But she's only two.

She has so much life ahead of her.

GRACE NEEDS:

— Another dog to help her feel secure and build confidence
— A securely fenced yard
— No young children
— A quieter, predictable
