ACE - HAVANESE / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Havanese / Mixed (medium coat). Sweet, sassy, senior boy! Meet Ace – Your Loyal Little Shadow in the Making Ace is an adorable, scruffy little nearly 10-year-old, 13-pound Havanese mix with a tender heart and so much love still to give. After spending five wonderful years in a home, Ace recently returned to SVPP when his beloved momma passed away unexpectedly and her family was unable to keep him. His world changed overnight, and he’s now patiently waiting for a forever family to help him feel safe again. A Gentle Soul Who Blossoms with Time Ace adapts to new situations in his own time. He needs a few days to settle in and get comfortable with new people and surroundings. But once he knows he’s safe and that his humans can be trusted, his infectious cuteness shines through. When he feels secure, Ace’s favorite place is right next to his people—cuddling close and happily being the center of attention. He absolutely loves: Car rides Leisurely walks Sunbathing in a cozy spot Earning tasty treats The Home Ace Needs Ace will thrive with a patient, experienced adopter who understands that trust is earned, not rushed. He needs someone who will allow him to set the pace as he builds a relationship with his new family. Respecting his boundaries is essential. In the first few weeks, Ace may be moody and can show fear-based aggression if he feels uncomfortable or pressured. A calm, positive environment where all humans consistently respect his space will help him feel secure. Once he trusts you, he becomes incredibly sweet, deeply loyal, and devoted. Social & Lifestyle Notes Gets along well with other small dogs who respect his boundaries Unknown how he is with cats House-trained and crate-trained Behaves well when left alone Walks nicely on leash but can be leash reactive in close quarters with other dogs Will do best with regular exercise to keep him happy and balanced Health Like many small dogs his age, Ace has a few medical needs that require ongoing monitoring and management. With proper care, he remains an active, loving little companion ready to enjoy life. A Note About Adoption Events Adoption Events can be too chaotic and unpredictable for this special boy.
