About Ace

Ace is a big, soft-hearted dog with a lot of love to give. Weighing in at 62 lbs and about two years old, he spent much of his early life outside and is now picking up the art of living indoors. House manners are coming along—he’s shown he can handle potty training nicely. At first, Ace hangs back and observes, but once he trusts you, he is your loyal shadow. Patience is key with Ace; he needs a home willing to guide him and offer gentle, ongoing training. He’s already crate trained and never says no to a good chew on his favorite bones. Ace plays well with other dogs when introduced properly. He’s met dog-friendly cats but the curiosity is strong, so we recommend a home without cats to avoid any issues. He’s best matched with an active family and a fenced yard where his energy can run free. Dirty paws and all, he’s ready for someone to give him the warmth and safety he never had. Ace is neutered, current on all vaccines, and up to date with monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention. He’s tested negative for tick-borne diseases and heartworm, and now he’s just waiting to show what a loving friend he can be. Your new best friend is just one click away.
