On June 24, 2022, we drove to Woodstock NB to pick up Gracie, a three year old rescue dog who was arriving from Texas. She was brought to us in Canada by CMC2 Of The Maritimes, Fetch A Dog Rescue And Transport, and Littlefield Pet Haven.

About 80 dogs arrived from Texas that day, so quite a few people traveled to Woodstock to pick up their new best friends (photos of other dogs from June 24 are here).

Gracie is a three year old German Shepherd whos previous family said they "just don't have time for her".

Gracie moved right in and was comfortable in her new home almost right away. It was apparent that she had little or no training, but she seemed willing and eager to learn. It was obvious that she had never used stairs before, the first time up we had to coax/help/drag her, and the first time down she practically slid on her belly. A half hour later, she was zooming up and down the stairs like a mountain goat!

She came from a desert area in Texas, so she probably had never been to a beach or had a walk in a forest.

Gracie is very affectionate, is always ready to play and have fun, and she really likes the woods. But her favorite place to play is the beach, and she loves the water. Her favorite game is fetch, but she is up for anything fun with her humans.

Here are some photos of her in her new life, the oldest at the top when we picked her up in Woodstock, and the newest at the bottom from when we went to play on the beach earlier today.

As you can see, she is very happy here!
