About Ace

Meet Ace, a 74-pound Terrier mix brimming with affection. He may feel a bit overwhelmed in the shelter, as new situations tend to make him nervous. Sometimes you might even see him shake when he's unsure, but his heart is enormous once he starts to trust. While Ace isn't particularly interested in treats or toys yet, he does love a good squeaky toy for a playful chase. More than anything, he craves affection. This big lovebug will rest his head in your lap, nudging your hand for more attention—he just wants to feel safe and loved. Ace is looking for a calm, quiet home where he can decompress at his own pace. Too much excitement can be overwhelming for him, so he needs a patient family who understands the importance of building trust. He may not reveal all of his wonderful personality initially, but give him some time, and you'll find an incredible companion waiting to shine. If you have a cozy space for a big cuddlebug, Ace is ready to be your loyal friend! Happy adopting!
