About Ace

Ace is a sweet, brindle, medium-sized male terrier mix about 4-5 years old. He stands out once he feels safe, and at adoption events he’s handled new faces well—just prefers slow, thoughtful introductions at first. Ace bonds strongly with his people and becomes a loving companion who wants to be part of everything you do, soaking up all the attention he can get. He really just needs some patience up front to build that trust. Ace does best with dogs his size or bigger; he’s thriving in his current foster home with large canine friends. A home without small animals is a must for Ace. He comes from a rough background, so an adopter with patience and understanding will help him settle in and feel secure. Give him time, and you’ll get a deeply affectionate, loyal sidekick who truly just wants to love and be loved. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
