Ace is 3 years old, and has been in out household ever since the beginning, unfortunately we are unable to take care of Ace anymore and would love a great family to love and care for Ace like there own. Ace was a great dog at times with a very clingy personality. Although Ace does need a little help when it comes to behavior but overall he was a great dog.

Story
Hi, I’m Suzie.I’m a very gentle, easygoing girl who’s just looking for a calm place to land and someone to love me. I’m almost blind, but that doesn’t slow me down much. If there’s a light on, I can find my way toward it, and if not, I happily explore the world by sniffing my way around. I’m quiet, peaceful, and completely harmless.I don’t bark at all—I don’t really have a voice—but I will softly whimper when I need to go outside. I’m fully housetrained and very well-mannered. I love my crate and see it as a cozy, safe place to relax. Most of my day is spent sleeping, resting, and enjoying a calm environment.I’m friendly with everyone I meet—men, women, and children of all ages—and I don’t react to other dogs, birds, or squirrels. I’m gentle at feeding time, take treats nicely, and never tear up toys or belongings. Outside, I’m content to sit quietly and watch the world go by.I don’t have many teeth left, just a few on the bottom, so I eat mostly canned food and do very well with it. I enjoy my meals and have no trouble eating. I don’t know tricks, don’t pull on a leash, and don’t need much excitement—just patience, kindness, and love.If you’re looking for a sweet, quiet companion who asks for very little and gives gentle affection in return, I might be the perfect match for you. All I really need is a soft place to rest and someone who will love me just the way I am.My adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you!
