About Ace

Meet Ace – the name of the game is fun! Ace is a 1-year-old neutered Pointer mix, weighing in at 33 pounds. He’s a curious guy who loves to sniff around, discovering all the latest neighborhood happenings. Ace enjoys playing with toys and chasing balls, but let's be clear: he's only committed to the chase part of fetch; bringing the ball back is negotiable. He's a great tug-of-war partner, so if you're up for a friendly competition, he's game. Ace is friendly and gentle when taking treats, plus he walks nicely on a leash. You'll often find him with his paws in your lap, subtly reminding you that he’s there and ready for some attention. Ace thrives on patience, positive reinforcement, and, of course, playtime. With plenty of love, he has the potential to be a winning companion. Ready to have an Ace up your sleeve? Come meet him! He promises to bring charm, energy, and a paw in your lap. Just don't expect him to fetch that tennis ball!
