Ace is a handsome 10 1/2-year-old, 65-pound boy who is proof that age is just a number! He's sweet, polite, friendly, and already knows how to be a great housemate. Ace is fully housetrained, has good manners, and is happiest when he’s spending time with his people. He enjoys walks, exploring the yard, carrying his favorite stuffed toys, and keeping an eye out for squirrels. Ace also loves car rides and is always ready for an adventure! He's a smart dog who knows cues such as "come," "sit," "wait," and "get on." On leash, Ace is easy to walk and enjoys daily exercise, though he wouldn't mind a few extra opportunities to stretch his legs and strengthen his hind end. Ace gets along well with other dogs and has a friendly, easygoing personality with new people. While his foster family hasn’t had the opportunity to see him around young children, he would likely do well with respectful kids ages 6 and up. Ace forms strong bonds with his people and prefers not to spend long periods alone. He’ll thrive in a home where someone is home much of the time, works remotely, or enjoys bringing their dog along for daily activities. When left by himself, Ace can become anxious and vocal, so he’ll do best with adopters who understand his desire to stay close to his favorite humans. Despite his challenges, Ace approaches life with a happy spirit and a wagging tail. He’s settled nicely into foster care, loves being part of the household, and is ready to find a family that will appreciate the loyal, affectionate companion he is.
