Ace

We are Beagle crazy these days, and we are thrilled to have gorgeous Ace at our rescue. He was found as a country stray in North Carolina, and was rounded up by Animal Control Officers and brought him to a high kill shelter. Ace was a beloved resident at his rural shelter, and he was quickly transferred to us before his euthanasia date. Ace is extremely friendly and outgoing. He seems to love people and other dogs.  Ace would be an excellent family dog, and is affectionate with adults and older children, who have been taught to treat animals with respect. He could easily join a multi-dog home because he seems to enjoy other dogs so much. We have not tested him with cats.  Just two years old, Ace is a beautiful boy with black and tan coloring. He is a small dog , weighing just 24 pounds. Beagle lovers will find him true to the Beagle breed standard, although slightly leggy. As a scent hound, he is nose driven and preoccupied with any interesting smells. While Ace derives a lot of mental stimulation from leisurely strolls, he also needs brisk focused leash walks to perfect his heel command, and work off some energy.  Ace can be shy at first, but warms quickly to gentle human touch. He can be a little stubborn in obedience training, but with patience he will come along nicely, and certainly would be able to achieve his Canine Good Citizenship certification.  Ace is house trained and crate trained. Adopters should expect to troubleshoot the occasional accident that will inevitably occur during his transition to a new home. Ace is in optimal health, and has been recently neutered and has had routine vaccinations and health screenings.  If you are interested in Ace, please write to Denise at [email protected] or call/text Denise at 860- 908-9738 for more info.
