05/31/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Ace was sitting so quietly up front in his kennel, and caught my eye so plaintively I stopped in my tracks to take him out. He’s a slow ‘stop and smell the roses’ kind of a walker on leash, went potty right away, and is as calm and mellow as it gets. Surrendered to our care due to landlord issues, we’re told that he lived with kids ranging in age from 5-10 years old and was relaxed and playful with them as he was with both the adults in the home, and two other pit bulls. He doesn’t guard his stuff, is friendly when strangers approach, doesn’t mind a bath, loves to play tug of war, slept on his dog bed in the bedroom, is housetrained, well behaved when left home alone, knows ‘sit’, ‘put it down’ and ‘lay down’. Ace was the perfect end to my long, hot day as he’s so mellow and easy I could walk him with my pinky, and off leash he was content to simply hang out and give a few kisses. He’s a gorgeous blockhead with a great smile, longing to be part of a family again. Shouldn’t it be yours?
