5/14/14 Ace is recovering from his
neuter surgery. He has only been in his foster home for a little over
a week, so his foster mom is still getting to know his personality.
However, from the information she sent us, you can tell she is already in
love with him!
Ace has been fabulous! He was cautious when he arrived. By
the second evening, his tail began to wag and he was seeking affection.
Now he is a total love bug. Ace fits into the household perfectly and
walks nicely on his leash next to his foster sister (a boxer mix). Ace
has even joined the family for two Little League games and was the perfect
spectator. He greets people and other dogs with a wag of his tail, but
does not jump or pull. Ace is still a little nervous with car rides,
but with each trip he is getting better.
Other than helping Ace be more comfortable with riding in the car, his
foster mom is also working with him on some mild resource guarding
behaviors. For the most part, he has been okay with food and toys, but
he does tend to get possessive over his humans. In these cases, he is
easily corrected and removed from the situation.
Although Ace may have some hearing limitations, he does hear well enough
to respond to commands such as "sit" and "wait," even when he is not looking
at you. Ace is crate trained and has been given limited run of the
house with no problems. When he has his sutures removed later this
week, his foster mom plans on giving him more freedom while she is gone
during the day. He will also get more play time with his foster sister
and a few of the neighbor's dogs. Ace has met and joined several of
the dogs on his daily walks. While he loves them all, he has really
enjoyed playing with the smaller dogs.

Ace has now been neutered and
he just arrived at his new foster home. He is a very mellow boy and is
settling in well. We will post a new update as soon as his foster mom
learns more about Ace.

Ace was transported into
rescue this weekend and is currently at our kennel waiting for a foster or
forever home. He does seem to be able to hear, as he sat on command
and responded when you spoke to him. Ace may have some difficulty
orienting to where the sounds are coming from and he may not hear all tones.
We will be able to get more information about him once he finds a foster
home. Ace was unsure of all the changes going on in his life and was a
little nervous in the car. He does the best boxer lean and loves to be
close to people. Apply today for this handsome boy!

Ace was surrendered to the shelter with several other dogs due to a
condemned home. He is in good shape, despite his previous living
conditions. Ace did well on his temperament testing at the shelter,
although he does protect his food at this time. The shelter suspects
he may be deaf, which will be evaluated once he joins rescue. Ace is
already neutered, but will be brought up to date on all other vet care.
We will post more information soon once we get to know Ace better.
Apply today if you are interested in fostering or adopting this handsome
boy! |
