My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ace is a stunning 81lb 6 year old black German Shepherd with a deep sense of loyalty and purpose. For several years, he was a cherished family companion who faithfully welcomed a new baby into his home and took his role as protector very seriously. Sadly, due to an overseas deployment, Ace was surrendered through no fault of his own.
Ace is devoted to his people and thrives on strong bonds. He is friendly and affectionate with those he knows and trusts, but he needs proper, thoughtful introductions to new people entering his home. Once he understands who belongs in his circle, his loyalty runs deep.
Highly intelligent and well-trained, Ace is crate trained and muzzle conditioned, setting him up for success in the right environment. He is looking for a very special adopter—someone experienced, patient, and committed to understanding his protective nature and providing him with the structure and security he needs.
Ace isn’t just looking for a home—he’s looking for a forever family that will honor his devotion and give him the safe, stable life he deserves.
