Animal Profile: Ace is a 10-month-old mixed breed (likely German Shepherd with Malamute) who was acquired as a baby puppy by a teen off Craigslist who quickly learned his family was not interested in having a puppy but hasn’t been able to rehome him. Ace has been living on a small balcony day and night, except when a concerned neighbor takes him on walks or to the dog park. The concerned neighbor reached out for help rehoming. We will share more about Ace once we get to know him in foster care.
Evaluation Notes: Evaluating Ace we quickly decided we need to help this large friendly puppy. Ace is well fed and should lose some weight to decrease stress on his joints as he’s a very large breed mix and likely to be 100lbs or more as an adult. Ace is confident and not at all nervous meeting new people. He’s friendly and social toward other dogs. In response to a snarky male, he offered a play bow. Ace has no leash manners (pulls on his harness) but was quick to respond to leash training with a slip lead. He would be a quick study as he’s eager to please and offers strong engagement. Ace could live in a home with dogs or kids; he’s not been evaluated with cats and looks like a mix who would do best without cats, but hard to say without testing that specifically. Ace is very comfortable with handling all over his body — looking in his mouth, ears, touching paws, manipulating body, etc. This young boy deserves way more attention and activity than he’s currently getting.
Foster Update:
Ace is friendly and eager to meet everyone! He’s an energetic young pup, but will settle and lie next to you especially if pets are involved. He loves other dogs and to play, but is young and still learning to take ques from other dogs so will likely do best with other friendly, playful dogs or as an only dog where he can soak up all the attention in his forever home. Ace is working on his leash manners and will pull, especially when he sees little critters outside. He has responded well to a gentle leader head harness in his foster home and will benefit from ongoing leash training. Ace prefers to be with his people and can be a bit vocal in his crate at first. Given his breed, size, and vocal nature we are not considering apartments for Ace.
This sweet, fluffy boy would love an active family who can spend time with him. He rides well in the car and will make a great adventure parnter!
