Some dogs just have that special something that makes you stop and smile. At the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, that dog is Ace – a stunning 2-year-old black brindle mix who’s looking for his forever adventure buddy.
With his striking coat pattern and soulful brown eyes, Ace is undeniably handsome. But it’s his zest for life that truly sets this 65-pound charmer apart. Despite being two years old, Ace still carries that infectious puppy energy that makes every day feel like a new adventure waiting to happen.
“Ace can see into your soul with his big brown eyes, and he knows that you’re looking for a fun guy to hang out with every day,” says Maria Stebbins, an AWLA volunteer who knows Ace well.
This athletic pup is tailor-made for active families or individuals who love the outdoors. Whether you’re planning an enriching hike through local trails or a leisurely neighborhood walk, Ace is ready to be your enthusiastic companion. His love for fetch means your backyard could become his personal playground, and those post-game relaxation sessions are perfect for bonding over some well-deserved rump scratches – his absolute favorite.
What makes Ace even more appealing is his eagerness to learn. He’s already mastered the “sit” command (especially when treats are involved) and his food-motivated nature means he’s primed to pick up new cues in his forever home. For families looking to train and bond with their new pet, Ace offers the perfect combination of intelligence and enthusiasm.
But perhaps most importantly, Ace is a cuddle enthusiast who’s looking for love that matches his boundless enthusiasm for life. This boy doesn’t just want a home – he wants to be a cherished family member who can share in daily adventures, quiet moments, and everything in between.
