Introducing Ace, your future best friend, adventure buddy, and the biggest ball enthusiast this side of the universe. With his goofy grin, expressive eyes, and hilarious habits, Ace is guaranteed to keep you smiling every single day. He’s the kind of dog who makes you wonder how you ever lived without him. Ace is a healthy guy with a little digestive "secret sauce" mixed into his meals to keep everything running smoothly (he likes to think it makes him extra powerful). And powerful he is—especially when it comes to fetch. We’re not kidding. This dog could win gold medals in fetch if it were an Olympic sport. But that’s just the beginning. Ace is also the king of sprinklers, a trick-learning machine, and a master of hide-and-seek (watch out—he will find you). He’s happiest when he’s outside, ears perked, tail wagging, chasing after a squirrel or just lounging in the grass. Getting him back inside is often a negotiation… that you probably won’t win. He’s got the best kind of quirks—howling at sirens like he’s part of the emergency crew, dramatically flopping onto the couch even when there's no room, and giving the biggest side-eye if you dare say “my ball” (that’s clearly his ball, thank you very much). And don’t even think about ending a game of fetch too early—he takes his playtime very seriously. Ace is looking for a family who’s ready for action, belly rubs, and a whole lot of laughs. If you love the outdoors, enjoy a little chaos, and don’t mind sharing your couch with a giant cuddle monster, Ace might just be your perfect match. Likes: • Playing fetch (seriously, ALL day) • Sprinklers and water hoses • Sniffing people out in hide and seek • Learning new tricks (he’s a clever boy!) •Squishing his butt onto the couch to snuggle • Fresh air, grass, sunshine—anything outdoors Dislikes: • Not being able to chase squirrels, bunnies, or birds • Firetrucks and sirens (he must join in the noise) • Being told "no more fetch" • Being indoors too long • Anyone claiming his ball Good with dogs? He would do best as a solo pet Good with cats? No, thank you Good with kids? Yes, older kids is best Photos : Shaelenn @myboyhenrito Special Notes: Ace has a condition called exocrine pancreatic insufficiency or EPI.

Monthly costs include - Pancreatic Enzyme - $100-$140 Famotidine - $54 Fluoxetine - $120 Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diet Gastroenteric food - $125 Every month Ace needs a b12 shot but it is $30 for 10 months dosage
