Gracie
Gracie’s story was one of resilience, love, and grace. Found feral in the desert at just nine months old—trapped and frightened—she was given a second chance through the West Valley Humane Society. And from the moment she joined our family, she became part of our hearts.
Gracie not only survived the harsh beginnings of her life, but she also overcame cancer at eight years old with quiet strength. Even in her final days, as degenerative myelopathy slowly took her legs, she met each moment with courage and unwavering love.
She loved deeply and with a purity that stays with us. She adored our grandson like he was her own. She cherished sunny days stretched out in the grass, chased squirrels with glee, crunched ice cubes like treats, and never turned down a walk in the park. She lit up with excitement and greeted each family member and friend with a butt-wagging celebration.
Gracie was not just a pet. She was a survivor, a protector, a comfort, and a soul whose love touched every part of our lives.
The house feels quieter now. But her spirit will forever live in the spaces she loved—in the warmth of the sun, the rustle of leaves, and the hearts of all of us who had the privilege to love her.
Run free, sweet girl. You are whole again
