ACE

01/16/26This energetic and affectionate dog thrives with patient handling and engagement. While he can be shy or avoidant in the kennel and may vocalize or growl, he is relaxed, wiggly, and very affectionate once out of the kennel. He enjoys checking in with his handler, allows full handling, and shows interest in other dogs without escalating. With daily enrichment, exercise, and a calm environment, he has the potential to be a joyful and engaging companion. He’s looking for a home that can match his energy and provide consistent guidance.01/14/25 10:44Ace is a young neutered GSD mix who was found stray and has been in shelter since 12/4/25; he has poor kennel presence and is fearful, anxious and stressed (FAS) in the kennel in shelter - anxiety medications have significantly helped improve his stress in kennel and will calmly approach to sniff or take treats. Once out of kennel, and in play yard, he checks in with handler ofen and has loose body language, and tolerates full handling. His behavioral challenges are related to kennel stress. He is available for adoption or rescue -- we hope Ace will find the calmer, quieter home that he deserves.
