Here's Gracie, the border collie from the Jonesboro Animal Control Shelter whose last-minute litter saved her from being put down, with her new friends at a nursing home in Manila, Ark.
She got a trim, a bath and a bandana and a new lease on life thanks to the publicity from the Jonesboro Sun and Karin Hill's wonderful five-part series.
The nursing home residents read about Gracie's plight in the Sun and decided to adopt her. As shy and fearful as she was at the shelter, she warmed quickly to her new friends at the nursing home and blossomed with all of the attention. She spends her days and nights getting treats and being petted by every one in the place and likes watching late night TV with some of her new buddies.
When Maria and I first heard about Gracie, I vowed we would adopt her rather than let her stay at the shelter until they destroyed her. This is the perfect outcome for Gracie. She's a lovely, smart dog and she deserves to be smothered with love and luxury.
