Gracie

Mixed Breed · Female

Whats Great About Gracie? Gracie is a young dog with lots of potential in the right home. She's incredibly sweet but massively underconfident. It would be beneficial for Gracie to live with another dog pending successful meetings at the sanctuary. Resident dogs must already be neutered. Ideally any resident dogs will be easygoing. very well socialised, and can show Gracie the world in a positive way. Gracie can potentially live with a confident, dog-savvy cat. Gracie can live with children age 12+ Gracie is incredibly nervous and needs very patient and dedicated adopters who can take their time introducing her to the world. She will need her own space at home while she gains confidence in her own time. A quiet home would be more suitable. A private secure garden with a minimum fence height of 6ft.

About Gracie

What life with Gracie looks like

Gracie is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gracie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gracie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gracie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gracie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Gracie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Gracie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gracie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
