About Gracie (and Cadbury)
Gracie is a beautiful purebred Cocker Spaniel with a sweet and loving nature.
She’s not demanding but enjoys a walk and a cuddle - and dinner! She often sings for her supper - Awhoo whoo whoo and on other occasions is up for a chat with her people.
Her and Cadbury love one another dearly and are best buddies. Cadbury helps Gracie (who is blind) navigate unknown terrain - though she manages quite well on her own once she has a mental map of her surroundings.
Gracie has a gorgeous silky black coat with a bald spot on her back where she was burnt by the exhaust pipe on a car. It’s likely the hair won’t grow back as the follicles are probably damaged.
Gracie likes to know her family are close by and will settle happily. She does sometimes howl when she feels uncertain or lonely - however this shouldn't be an issue if her and Cadbury are allowed to stay inside while their family are out.
They do both like to have their people close by and for this reason would suit a home based worker or a retired couple.
There is nothing not to love about Gracie and Cadbury - who will only be rehomed together.
Medical notes
Gracie is blind and has a bald spot on her back. She is otherwise in great health and her blindness does not diminish her enjoyment of life at all
Adoption details
If you are interested in one of our dogs, please send us an email at: hopespringseternaldogrescue@gmail.com in the first instance telling us who you are interested in, and why. We will then send you an adoption application to complete.
At a minimum, we will expect that all of our dogs will be inside/outside dogs and will be treated as a valued member of the family.
If your family needs match the needs of the dog, we will call you to discuss further and arrange a time for you to meet the puppy you are interested in.
If this goes well and you are keen to proceed, we will organise a mutually convenient time with you to undertake a fence/home check - and for the dog you are interested in to meet the rest of the family - both human and other animals.
If you feel that you would like to add the dog to your family, we will ask you to pay the adoption fee and the dog will commence a 4 week trial period - for all of you (both humans and pets) to make sure that you will all be happy living together. We will check in on you during this time and will be available to respond to any concerns you may have during this period.
If everyone is happy at the conclusion of the trial, we will transfer the microchip and provide you with any medical records and information we have on the dog you have adopted.
We will take the dog back into care at any time - if things do not work out - and we appreciate that sometimes - they just don't - for a number of reasons.
We will ask for a happy snap of the dog with their new family members for our adoption gallery and will ask whether we can use that in promoting our rescue on Facebook, the Internet or other promotional materials.
We want the process of adoption to be a happy and exciting time for you and your potential new family member and will work with you to make the experience as positive as possible.
