THE GIFT OF GRACIE. This sweetheart is a 12-year-old Shih Tzu mix. Gracie is a gentle little girl who is always ready for a cuddle. She is easygoing with other dogs but we have no information on how she is with cats or children. Gracie recently had a dental cleaning and surgery to remove benign tumors and she's recovering very well. She weighs about 14 pounds, is house- and leash trained, a good traveler, microchipped, heartworm negative and up to date on vaccinations. Available through Tired Dog Rescue, Gulfport, MS. Fee: $175.

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
