My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I'm Ace and I'm looking for a new home! My owners left me at a nice boarding facility a couple months ago. I waited a long time for them to come back, but they never did. This made me real sad. Then-- lucky me!-- I got placed with a rescue group. Probably because I was so well-behaved and played nicely with the other dogs :-)

I'm in a foster home now, which is much much better than being in a kennel all day. But I want to be part of a family and have my own back yard. Will you give me a test run? I know I will ace the test!

Here's what my foster mom says: "Ace really is a good dog! He is house-broken, crate trained, very people-friendly and good with kids. He likes being outside, chasing the squirrels, and he would LOVE a big fenced in yard. He walks nicely on leash and loves long walks. When we walk and he hears dogs barking he looks, but then keeps right on walking. It seems he doesn’t know how to play with toys, but he's learning. When he wants your attention, he “talks”-- looking right at you and making noises -- it's really funny. We had a play date with my niece's dog and he had a blast."

Ace's adoption fee is $350 and he's current on vaccinations and preventatives, neutered, and microchipped.
