We've teamed up with our rescue friends in Posey County, Indiana. Each week we share an adoptable dog from PC Pound Puppies and an adoptable feline friend from Posey Humane Society as well as details on how you can make them a forever part of your home. Let me introduce you to your next best friend.

Meet Ace

Ace is 60 pounds of love - look at the smile! This 2 year old pupper is going to make someone an amazing bestest friend. He even knows some basic commands like sit, stay and shake!  According to PC Pound Puppies,

Ace is back at the shelter and is very sad about it. He was recently in a home with other dogs but did not like to be bothered by the puppy who my have gotten too close what Ace perceived as "his" food. He has tested well with cats.

He likes to chase balls but not sure if he is interested in bringing them back. His former owner said that he is a huge snuggler and just wants to be loved on. Ace would do best in a home with a fenced yard as he did not do well on a tie out in his last home. Ace does well on a leash when he goes for walks. He is kennel trained but not sure if he is completely housebroken as he had occasional accidents if left out for extended periods of time. He also knows some basic commands like sit, shake, heel, kennel, and stay.

If you think you would make a good companion for Ace, please contact PC Pound Puppies.
