My story

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

"Ace" is a 5-6 yo neutered male GSD mix who is both mellow and playful. Ace is friendly with everyone he meets. He loves kids and is patient and gentle with them. (See elsewhere on this site for a video of Ace playing fetch w/ his foster caretaker’s grandsons.) He is mellow in the face of lots of commotion, so would do well in a multi-child household. Ace is affectionate (he loves belly rubs), but is not overly needy. He is content lying beside you if you’re working at a desk.

Ace is fine with other dogs and currently lives in harmony w/ two young male GSDs. He seems to prefer the company of people, though. We’re not sure how Ace is with cats, so our preference is to find a home w/out cats for him.

Ace is housetrained and very well behaved inside. He does not steal food, even if it’s at eye-level. He greets his people politely without jumping up on them or barking.

Ace loves to chase after balls, but prefers to play keep-away rather than bring them back for another toss. He loves squeaky toys and rolling in the grass. Ace also likes water, and will bite the water stream from a garden hose if directed at him. In spite of his age, Ace often acts like a puppy in his playfulness.

GSRSV rescued Ace from the Stanislaus County Shelter on 10-19-16, where he had been brought as a stray on 10-3-16. He was immediately brought to his present foster home in Elk Grove. Ace’s adoption fee is $160.
