Story
Hi! My name is Ace and this is my story. . . I was found alone, wandering the streets of NY. I was hungry, a little scared, and had an embedded collar around my neck. A good samaritan picked me up and took me to the NY shelter. I was friendly with the staff and showed no reactivity to other dogs. Due to no fault of my own (well, maybe a little bit because I'm excitable and can get a little mouthy when I play), I was adopted and returned. Upon my return to the shelter, I started deteriorating. You see, I got used to a warm home and comfy bed. I could not believe I was back in a kennel! I became progressively stressed and agitated. I would pace back and forth in my kennel and jump (oftentimes hurting myself) in an attempt to get out or get somebody's attention. Due to this behavior, I was put on an emergency placement. Not sure what that meant, but I had a feeling it wasn't good. . .my days were numbered. To my surprise, I was saved once again! A Rescue stepped up and found me a temporary home. I am very happy here My foster mom says I exemplify resilience and a zest for life! With marks still visible in my skin, I enjoy life to its fullest! I love to eat, play, and cuddle with my foster mom. I am working hard on learning basic manners. My foster mom says "No Ace" a lot. But it's ok, she also says "Good boy Ace!" I have been enthusiastically practicing with my foster mom and her trainer and I have proven to be an excellent student. I am estimated to be about 3 1/2 years old. I think. I am healthy, happy, and full of energy! I am also housebroken and crate-trained. I am looking for a home where I can be loved and continue to grow and learn. I would do well with another doggie sister or brother. But I would be happy as your only dog as well!
