My story

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

Ace is a 9 month old Australian Kelpie looking for a good home. He is house trained and has received a bit of crate and behavioral training. He needs an owner that has time for his high energy and high intelligence who is active and willing to teach him and keep him engaged. He is extremely loving always looking for affection and companionship. He has no history of aggression and currently gets up to an hour of exercise and play time everyday. Ace is still a puppy so he can be a bit mouthy but, has been around my young nephews ages 11 and 8 who are pretty rough and tumble and was good around them. However, as his owner I currently don’t have enough time to look after Ace and I believe he deserves a better home.

Ace comes with a 36 in crate, elevated stainless steel dog bowls, a few of his favorite toys, and a shedding brush. He only needs to be brushed 1-2 times a week to keep his chocolate coat nice and clean accompanied by a bath every couple months/ as needed
