Story
Ace is an outgoing dog who enjoys pats, play, fetch, and food. He is excited to spend time outside, is still working on his leash walking, and can't wait to find his new bestie to share life with.OTHER PETS: Ace is excited to meet other dogs and pulls toward them, inviting them to play. Unfortunately, Ace doesn't listen to feedback from other dogs which can create conflicts with dogs who are not interested in his style of play - which is rough & rowdy! Ace would do well with a dog that enjoys similar rough play, but would also do well as the sole object of human affection in the house. [Case-By-Case / Only Pet (Must Meet First)] NO CATS OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone experienced with GSDs who utilize medical wearables would be Ace's perfect fit; a good fit would be someone who had GSD experience as Ace's activity level, curiosity & tendency to find trouble (GSD characteristics) are more challenging than learning to use and maintain his medical equipment. [Very Experienced] KIDS: Ace is playful and friendly, but is uncomfortable with a lot of handling, grabs for toys with his mouth, and is still working on leash walking without pulling. He will play fetch and place toys into people's hands but may accidently grab someone's hand while trying to grab a toy. Ace's best fit would be with older teens and adults, and minor humans should meet Ace before adoption. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Ace is out of his puppy stage but still has a good amount of energy - he is always excited and pulling to go out, and relaxes after getting some exercise. Multiple daily walks, play sessions, (supervised if outside) and lots of mental enrichment would be a good fit for Ace. He enjoys fetch and would love to have a fenced yard to romp around in. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: Ace has had a long road to recovery since spraining his foot; multiple surgeries and the crate rest that comes with them is not fun, but he is now ready to move forward and will need a good relationship with a vet to ensure that he stays in prime condition to play for as long as possible. Ace has been fitted for a custom orthopetic brace that he will need to wear the vast majority of the time for the remainder of his life. The brace will not interfere with his level of activity; it will stabilize his joint and ensure he will be able to play, run, and go on long walks for as long as he desires to. [Above Average]GROOMING: Regular brushing will keep Ace's coat shiny & clean. [Routine Brushing] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Ace bond with his new owner as well as ensuring he learns cues and skills. Ace is a smart boy who has already had some unwanted behaviors reinforced and will need support from his owner as he learns appropriate ways of channeling his excitement.
