About Ace of Base

Ace of Base is a neutered male who weighs about 29 lbs and is approximately 11 months old. This young guy is still finding his footing in the world, showing some nervousness, so he’ll need patience and reassurance as he adjusts to new experiences. Leash walking is still a work in progress for him, but he’s making strides and improving daily. His clumsiness adds charm to his personality, and his desire for affection is evident; if you stop petting him, he’ll scoot closer, eager for more. Once comfortable, Ace reveals his playful side, especially around toys. He has a real love for play and is treat-motivated, often pouncing on treats before gently taking them from your hand. There are moments when he even spins in excitement, particularly when asked to sit, though he’s still learning that skill. Overall, he’s a sweet, timid companion with fantastic manners who just needs a little extra time to build his confidence. Ace may do well with a fur sibling after proper introductions, and his behavior around other dogs and children is currently unknown. Adoption requires commitment, as he will need some training to flourish. Keep in mind that a calm environment post-adoption can help him show his true personality. The shelter environment can be overwhelming, so patience is essential for his adjustment after adoption. Ready to make a difference in Ace's life? Apply to adopt!
