I love dogs, and my Felicia is a sweet, easy going, good natured girl. She loves people and other dogs, and is never aggressive. I am very careful with possible coyotes in the area, and I don't leave dogs outside when not home. With a small dog, I would take them outside on a leash to go to the bathroom. At night I go outside with them to potty. I take my dog for a walk every day.

Gracie

San Marcos, CA

  Breed: Goldendoodle

  Weight: 45 lbs

  Age: 1 year old

  Gender: Female

My wife and I moved to San Marcos from San Francisco and the first piece of furniture we got for our home was our pup Gracie! She’s a year and a half old, playful as any pup I’ve ever been around and submissive when conflict arises. She’s a non shedding doodle which is a must for any dogs we bring into our home since my wife is allergic. When Gracie isn’t lounging around the house, you’ll likely find her sniffing about the neighborhood, taking long runs on the beach playing fetch, nudging into curious passerby’s fluttering her eyelashes fishing for compliments, or simply laying right by our feet as we’re working from home. If she’s not doing any of that, she’s probably staring at her empty food bowl.
