About Ace

Ace is a large, lovable boy who takes his time warming up to new people but always comes around and shows his sweet nature. Once he trusts you, he becomes gentle and affectionate, making friends easily. Ace really enjoys the company of other dogs and gets along well with them. He needs a good amount of space to run and play—a yard would suit him well. While Ace adores children, his size means he could accidentally bump into small kids during play, so some caution is needed. He's crate trained, house trained, and spends time calmly indoors. He hasn't been tested with cats. Born on December 11, Ace is a Sagittarius—and true to his sign, he loves exploring and staying active. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
