My story

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

Meet Ace! Ace is a handsome male Australian Shepherd mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s an extremely friendly and social boy who truly loves everyone he meets. If you’re looking for a cuddle buddy, Ace is your guy—he adores being around people and will happily soak up all the affection you’re willing to give. This energetic pup is always ready for action! Ace would thrive in a home that can provide him with plenty of walks, playtime, and fun ways to keep his smart mind busy through mental stimulation like puzzle toys, training, or new activities. When he’s not on the move, you’ll likely find him following his people from room to room, being extra nosy and making sure he doesn’t miss out on anything exciting. Ace is also quite the talker. He’s a vocal boy who loves to communicate, whether that means barking or whining to get your attention and let you know how he’s feeling. He enjoys chewing as well, so supervised play with appropriate toys will help keep him happy and out of trouble. If you’re an active household looking for a loving, loyal, and entertaining companion, Ace might just be the perfect match for you!
