BREED-Shepherd Mix; SEX-Male; SIZE-Medium WEIGHT-45 lbs.; AGE-Approximately 1 Years; SPAY/NEUTER-Yes; HOUSETRAINED-Currently Uses Doggie Door; GOOD WITH KIDS-Yes; GOOD WITH DOGS-Yes; GOOD WITH CATS-Unknown; HISTORY-Rescued From A Local Shelter; ADOPTION FEE-$250;Meet Ace, the playful shelter pup with a knack for adventure. His journey to the shelter began when he mistook a police car for a fun ride and hopped in when the officer wasn't looking. After a brief joyride and a very polite 'arrest', Ace found himself at the shelter, making friends and charming the staff. Despite his shy nature around new faces, once he warms up, he's your friend for life. Full of energy and love, Ace is looking for a forever home where he can share his boundless joy and maybe, just maybe, keep the car rides to a minimum.January 5, 2026, 7:51 am

Story
Meet Maya! Maya is a playful, sweet, and affectionate girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She loves being around her people and is happiest when she’s part of the action. Known as the “treat queen,” Maya is always ready for a snack and eager to please, especially when food is involved. She’s house and crate trained, though she sometimes goes into her crate a bit reluctantly. Even then, she’s gentle and has never shown any signs of aggression—just a little sass to show her opinion. Maya walks nicely on a leash, understands what “no” means, and enjoys getting out for strolls and playtime. When she plays, Maya can be quite vocal—sometimes sounding a little scary—but it’s all in good fun. She loves all dogs, gets along great with kids, and brings a joyful, bossy charm to every interaction. Her beautiful coat needs regular brushing and grooming to keep it looking its best, and because she’s a curious explorer, a secure fence at ground level is a must. Maya’s loving nature, playful energy, and loyal heart make her a wonderful companion ready to fill her forever home with laughter, love, and plenty of happy chatter.
