Gracie

A dog that walked through the door one afternoon was quite different than any other dog we have had the pleasure of helping. Her name was Gracie. Gracie is a Chihuahua mix and she was in very bad condition. She was a victim of animal cruelty. This broke Natalie's heart so she rushed Gracie to the vet. Gracie then recovered from a severe trauma and was transformed into a whole new dog! It was very obvious that Gracie was physically and emotionally abused. Gracie was also in such bad condition that her left eye could not be salvaged and her right eye did not work. Poor Gracie was blind.

One day an older gentleman came into Natalie's Shelter and was looking to pick out a dog. Once he saw Gracie, he knew he was in love. He saw past her imperfections. He knew that Gracie was the dog for him, and he took her that day. We can look at this story and be happy that a shelter like Natalie's Second Chance exists. If this shelter did not exist, where would Gracie be? Natalie transformed what could have been a tragedy into "happily ever after." Natalie would never turn down a dog no matter what the condition might be. She is very compassionate and wants to help all of the dogs that might be abused or homeless. Her passion is turning their lives into better lives.

There are many dogs in the shelter that would love to be your cuddly friend! Dogs need love too. There is a dog for everyone at the shelter and you can even come take the dogs for walk whenever you like! This way you can get to know all of the dogs before you choose. Save a dog, save a life.
