The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office is asking for your help as they raise funds for her therapy dog, Gracie.
The five-month-old Belgian Malinois had a large vet bill after an unknown illness caused her to become dizzy and light-headed, according to Deputy Allison Schaber, Gracie’s handler.
Gracie came to the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office after she was abandoned in the parking lot of a nature reserve in early December. The office adopted Gracie after trying to find her owner for several weeks.
“Before Gracie got sick, she loved playing with her older brother Frankie and brother Benny. He always loves to cuddle and be with his people, especially on the couch or chair, acting much like the other two lap dogs!” said Deputy Schaber.
As a therapy dog, Gracie works with first responders and adjacent staff to provide comfort after a stressful day.
Over the past month, Gracie has been hospitalized several times while receiving care from professionals at Blue Pearl Pet Hospital and Maplebrook Pet Care Center as they try to figure out what is causing Gracie’s illness.
