Meet Ace

Meet Ace! This adorable little guy has a heart as big as his personality and deserves better than he’s had. He was surrendered to us by his owner who showed little regard for his welfare. He had no prior vet care, was not neutered, and needed a dental. We don't understand the indifference but are glad she found a safe, responsible option for him. We were happy to take Ace into our rescue and show him that life can be better. He’s been fully vetted now and is ready to start his new life. Ace is being fostered by Renee and her pup, Ryder, Ace’s new bestie. He integrated quickly with Ryder and has done well meeting the grandkids when they visit. Renee describes Ace as a little guy with a BIG personality. He has a moderate energy level and enjoys romping around the house, chasing toys, and indulging in a few zoomies. He’s also a Velcro dog and a champion snuggler. He quickly connects to his person and follows Renee everywhere. You’ll typically find Ace curled up in her lap happy as can be. Don't let his small size fool you — Ace is a big fan of outdoor adventures and gets excited at the sight of his leash. He loves to go for walks and outings. He has good leash manners and is not reactive to other dogs or people on walks. He gets along well with other dogs after a short introduction, and would enjoy another dog in his new home to play with, but would be fine as an only dog too. Ace is crate-trained and potty-trained and will let you know when he needs to go outside. Typical to his Chi lineage, he has some barking tendencies, so we don’t feel he is a good fit for a condo or apartment. He barks at the window when someone passes by or when Renee comes and goes. He can also be barky at male visitors and still believes it's his job to protect the home….it isn’t!  Renee is keeping him on a leash when visitors come, teaching him to respect the front door and visitor’s space. It's worked well, and he’s improving. Once he gets to know someone, he gets excited when they visit and wants to be petted. Ace's ideal home would be one where he can continue to receive the love, attention, and playtime he deserves. Whether he's the only furry friend or has a canine companion to share in his adventures, Ace is guaranteed to bring joy and companionship to his new family.
