Story
I adopted Daisy in February 2023. She was staying with a foster. There were other dogs there. The foster mentioned she didn’t interact with them much. I guess she thought that was due to her being a rescue. It was a very important question as we had smaller old dogs at home and with extended family members. The foster did take her to a local pet sitting facility. EVERY human loves Daisy and I haven’t met one she doesn’t like. She is not a great fan of other dogs. We have tried everything but she will not acclimate to our family animals. She also has separation anxiety. We have followed the vet’s instructions, tried all sort of things on the market and yet nothing has worked. I work full time so I have no choice but to board her when I have to be away from her. She great when you are with her. Laid back, not playful nor food driven. She has had some training. She ignores come. She is big and strong so she need a person who can manage her.

Story
🌼 AVAILABLE TO BE YOUR NEW BESTIE 🌼 Daisy Lynn is a 2 year-old Labrador Retriever/English Pointer mix who was becoming depressed after her kennel mate was pulled to a differing rescue.

No problem— Daisy says the more the merrier! 🌼 She loves toys so much. Toys with stuffing tend to explode around Daisy. How strange? 🤔 🌼 Daisy Lynn is housebroken. 💩🚫🏠 🌼 Daisy is spayed, making her same-day available to approved adopters. 🌼 Beauty AND brains? That’s her! Daisy has learned her foster mom’s notification tones for Life360. No need to knock— Daisy will be waiting at the door for you. Daisy Lynn is available for meet & greets, and adoption!

Story
🌸 Grow old with me, the best is yet to be! 🌸 🌸 Lily is a 9 year-old Bichon mix who ACE Rescue Group of KY pulled from overcrowded, rural shelter. She is 16 lbs. 🌸 Lily is a loving, faithful companion. She was previously owned by an elderly person, and found curled up next to her owner at the discovery of their passing. 🌸 Her foster mom says Lily does like to chase kitty cats. (But honestly, can you blame her? Felines are typically sus.) 🌸 She has a foster brother (toy poodle) that she is slowly but surely learning to love. 🌸 Call her Betty White because this Golden Girl has a lot of spunk! Despite a recent dental procedure, Lily has been playing with toys. She loves to chase and play tug. 🌸 She’s house-trained! 💩🚫🏠 🌸 This lady can appreciate a good massage. 💆🏻‍♀️ Lily loves belly and neck rubs. 🌸 Do you enjoy the great outdoors? So does she! Catch this girl soaking up the sun. ☀️ But watch out— Lily is a flight risk with an open door. We love Mother Nature too, sweet girl. Lily is ready for adoption! But no need to pull a Love is Blind— she is available for meet-and-greets too. Email your application or inquiries to acerescuegroup@gmail.com

Story
Nova is a 5 month old American Pit Bull Terrier mix. (AKA a land seal) Nova was pulled as a small puppy from a local rural shelter by our board president. When found, Nova was covered in fleas and had been a victim of neglect. Since knowing love, Nova has made great strides in house-training, only having a few accidents if her foster mom miss her potty cues. She goes to the door when she needs out. Nova is a smart girl, picking up on basic commands so quickly, and already knows sit! Her foster family are currently working on "shake" & "stay" . Nova has grown-up around a very busy toddler & another adult dog, and loves playing! Like all puppies, she is actively working on learning boundaries. Like all of the young and the restless (not the soap opera-- we're talking puppies!), she has a lot of energy that requires exercise! She does best when she’s busy, but once she tires herself out, she will be the snuggliest girl. Nova is available for PRE-ADOPTION, and will be available once her spay is completed at the end of the month. Please send your inquiries to acerescuegroup@gmail.com

Story
‼️ SMALL DOG LOVERS ‼️ Oscar is ready for ADOPTION! 🥳 Oscar is a young adult terrier mix who is ready for you! A few things his foster mom has said 😇: 🖤 He currently lives with 5 cats, but will chase them if they run (side note: but can you blame him!?). He doesn’t get too close to them because he has been paw-slapped a time or two. (Are you thinking what we’re thinking? Fast learner!) Adjustment time would be needed between your feline friends and Oscar. 🐈 🤎 In true little dog fashion, big dogs do in fact seem a bit scary. The warm-up process might take a little bit, but that’s okay! He currently lives with four other K9 friends, and it’s going great. 🖤 Oscar is thriving in his foster home, so we can only imagine how well he’ll do with his furever family. 🤎 If you are interested in Oscar, send us an email of your adoption application. 📧
