About Ace

Ace is an incredibly social boy who has never met a stranger. His excitement for new people and dogs makes him perfect for a "doggie day camp" environment. While he’s learning to respect cats' personal space, he should be supervised around them, especially during introductions on a leash. This playful guy thrives in homes where he has a companion—either another dog or a family member who can spend time with him, preferably working from home or attending day camp a few times a week. With seemingly limitless energy for outdoor play, Ace enjoys fetch, tug-o-war, long walks, or games of chase. When it's time to relax, he loves to cuddle up on the couch or lounge in his crate, though he truly prefers being snuggled with someone. Ace, being a Plott Hound, has a strong oral fixation, so providing him with plenty of chew toys is essential. He’s smart and currently learning commands like "leave it" and "drop it," but he excels with regular training sessions to keep his skills sharp. Overall, Ace is a high-energy, loving boy who is eager to be your best friend. This young brindle gentleman is about 1 year old, neutered, chipped, and fully vetted.
