About Grace
Grace is a small bouncy puppy with a big personality.
Grace has had limited socialisation in her life so far, therefore is quite timid when it comes to people, children, loud noises and sudden movements. She is best suited to someone who is willing to invest plenty of time into her to build on her confidence and show her that the world is not such a scary place. Grace is treat motivated and very willing and eager to learn. Continued training is essential for Grace and she will benefit greatly from attending puppy school.
Grace is best suited to a quiet but active household, ideally without children. Grace is currently living with her sister to whom she is very attached and another big dog who she has gotten used to after a few days. Grace would value another small to medium sized brother or sister who she can learn from and play with as she can be quite destructive if bored and when left alone.
Once Grace has gotten used to you and settled in she will be your best friend for life. She will happily follow you around trying to play with you or get your attention. At times she does get jealous of her sister getting cuddles and will bark but this does not last long, she just wants to be the centre of attention!
Grace has walked on a lead twice, the first time she was very timid and unsure but showed a massive improvement the second time. She is not toilet trained but is learning.
Grace is very wary around strangers therefore her new owners will need to have lots of patience with her. Grace is a beautiful puppy and will continue to blossom with lots of tender love and care.
Grace is in foster care in Scullin ACT, due to Grace's nature we will not put her on transport to go to her new home. If you would like to adopt Grace you will must be willing to drive to Canberra to meet her.
