About Ace

Ace is a delightful little companion, known for his cuddly nature and playful spirit. This sweet boy loves nothing more than belly rubs and being close to his loved ones. He's shown great progress with house training and does well being kenneled overnight, proving he's adaptable to new routines. While Ace enjoys the company of children, he hasn't had any experiences with cats, so a feline-free home might be best for him. Take note that Ace does struggle with off-leash adventures in unfenced areas. On leash walks, he can be a bit underfoot, but that’s just his enthusiastic personality! The dedicated staff at Humane Society of Northwest Iowa are ready to help with management strategies for his leash skills. Adoption is more than just finding a pet; it's about welcoming a member into your family. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
