Owner Info: Gracie is a sweet and beautiful girl whose owner took a bad fall last month and is currently in rehab. When released she will not be able to return home and the apartment she is going to will not allow dogs. A vet tech from the office where Gracie is a client is trying very hard to help Gracie's owner find a new home or rescue for sweet Gracie, and she writes, "Her situation has touched me and I'm trying to help her find placement for this dog. Both for the dog's sake and so the owner knows she's safe. Our local pound is not a place I'd like to see any dog go to, let alone an older, vision impaired dog. "  Gracie is currently being cared for by neighbors. Gracie's owner has had her since she was about 8 months old.  Gracie is an indoor dog with run of the house, she is housebroken and leash trained.  She has never lived with men or kids, but her vet and groomer are both men. She's lived with other female dogs and gotten along well with them all, and lived with an older male dog when she was first adopted.  Gracie can sometimes be possessive with food or treats, but they say she has never been aggressive about it, and has never bitten or snapped.  She does very well with the people coming in to the house to take care of her.  Gracie's owner is uncertain as to the cause of Gracie's blindness, but believes it may be dry eye.  There is no mention in her vet records as to the cause of her blindness.
