Gracie
When Gracie found herself wandering as a stray, she had the good sense to make her way to the home of a veterinary technician. The vet tech got her checked out at the clinic before trying to locate her owners. NTSRI was called when her efforts were unsuccessful.
A first-time foster "parent" volunteered to take Gracie into her home, and promptly fell in love with her gentle nature and her hunger to be loved. As a result, Gracie never made it to the "up for adoption" page of the NTSRI website; it turned out that her foster home was her forever home!
Gracie was probably about eight years old when she was rescued, and her foster-turned-forever "mom" feels very blessed that she was able to share five very wonderful years with her before it was her time to go to the Rainbow Bridge on May 10, 2005.
