Ace

Ace is a fun, loving, high energy dog. He loves to play,is very vocal, and is great with dogs. He loves toys, tug-of- war, water, running, and on the flip side cuddling, being lazy, and sleeping ALL day.

He would thrive in an environment where it is just him, or if there are other animals he stills gets ample amounts of time to just you and him. He does better alone, and his training does better when he is alone too.

He is potty trained, crate trained, knows basic commands, has an extremely high food drive, and is very trainable.

He is up to date on all vaccines, has a years supply of credelo Quattro, is neutered, and has all basic necessities like kennel and collars.

I think Ace does have special needs because he needs to be in a home where he gets an endless amount of attention and where he can constantly be stimulated. I am no longer able to provide either of those needs. He also is very anxious at vet visits, and I think this is due to a visit when he was a puppy. he hasn't been the same since then and is put on medication anytime he goes to the vet.

He is an amazing dog, and is so loved by many, but we can no longer give him the love, attention, training, among other things to him. he deserves all of those and more, and we want him to go to the most loving family
