Meet Ace.
At only two years old but you might not guess that by his size. Weighing in at 103 lbs, he’d make a great fitness friend for morning runs. His current guardians at Ventura County Animal Services, in California, consider him a gentle giant.
Ace’s original family — who had taken him in as a favor to a relative — could no longer care for him. Since he’s been at the shelter, Ace enjoys scampering outdoors, so they’re hoping to find him a home with at least one other furry pal.
“Our fear with Ace [is] that, as a 103-[pound] pit bull, people might not give him a chance to show how kind and gentle he is.” Said Jules Hooper, who works for VCAS. “We think he’s a beautiful boy and will win over the hearts of the right people.”
“Ace would do best in a home with another mellow dog and a yard where they can play. Because of his size, he can be a strong puller on walks. An adult with the strength to guide him on [a] leash would be ideal. The most important thing is that he gets a loving family!”
Given the freedom to explore, Ace is calm, fully housebroken, and crate trained.
He is the epitome of a relaxed man, ready to chill with the right family.
Due to congestion in their shelters, Ventura County Animal Services is currently providing fee-waived adoptions through January 8th. All of their animals are out for adoption, and they are actively seeking foster homes and adopters, but they would really appreciate it if they could place cool boy Ace by the weekend.
