My story

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

We know there is a person out there for him. Ace came to us when he was surrendered by his owners to county at 10 months old. Ace lived with our trainer for almost a month before coming to the rescue center.

Ace started going to the Grand Canyon GSD club free obedience classes with a volunteer and the trainer was able to gain his trust at "hello", so she came to the doghouse to work with volunteers. Ace is learning that volunteers do fun things with him - go for rides, go for walks and play in the pool. Ace has started swimming lessons and he is learning that swimming is fun AND he gets 1:1 time with his favorite people. We don't know what happened to him as a young puppy, but we are breaking through with this stunning boy more and more. He does accept female volunteers with more ease but he has several male volunteers he can't wait to see every day they visit! He has won so many hearts of volunteers that have gained his trust. He's now looking for that new home that will do the same - gain his trust and show him that people don't hurt him.

We are looking for a foster-to-adopt home and you live in Maricopa County and willing to come and work with him at the center where he is confident.No children under 18 will be considered and only experienced GSD handler. He has been a perfect gentleman on his outings to obedience class, overnight visits with an SPR volunteer and trips to Home Depot.

SPR is a 100% volunteer organization, it may take a few days to complete the application process so we appreciate your patience.
