New Foster Gracie

Gracie was found as a stray by the Philadelphia ACCT.  She appeared to be 3 or 4 years old, with ulcers on both eyes.  The nice people at the shelter called NEBTR.

Fortunately, Foster Mom Raelynn Zappulla stepped up and offered to foster her.  A full shelter is not the best environment for a girl.

Raelynn writes, "Gracie, enjoyed her first night with us. I think she was more than relieved to not be in that shelter anymore. Our first stop was to Pet Valu to get her a new harness. She wandered around the store and smelled everything. She was very calm and friendly.

As soon as we got home she got a bath.  She was excellent in the tub and loved (!!!) getting dried off. It was so much fun that I'm including the video. She has a little possession aggression but I think she just doesn't know any better so we will try to work on it with her after we're familiar with each other.

She has her own room where she spent the night. We went in this morning to check on her and she was all wiggly and very happy to see us. She ate her breakfast no problem and will be getting her eyes checked at the vet this afternoon. She seems so happy already! She really is a sweetheart."

Following are Raelynn's photos and a video of Gracie.

Thank you so much, Raelynn, for giving this girl a chance.  Bless you for sharing your love! And thanks to Jerrilyn Walter for working so tirelessly to find foster homes for these babies!
