My story

　　04/26/22 14:35 Ace and his pal Atticus arrived at the shelter as strays and were later surrendered to the shelter because the owner's housing situation did not permit them to live there. Ace and Atticus were frequent fliers at the shelter and around southside last summer (Atticus was the smarter of the two and managed to keep out of the shelter until this most recent impound- Ace never learned and came back several times). Their owners report that they are super good dogs, but are door bolters and runners- it was especially difficult in their household because they had small children that were frequently in and out of the doors, and the dogs would watch and wait to take off when the kiddos gave them an opening.

　　Ace's owner shared that he is amazing- super quick, super smart, and maybe a bit more vocal than Atticus. Both dogs were noted to be social with other dogs including smaller dogs, but have never been around cats, so please take introductions to new animal friends slowly and use caution.

　　They have been friendly with their doggy neighbors here at the shelter!

　　They both do well with kids, but Ace prefers older children.

　　Both dogs are housebroken as long as you get them out regularly- they have done well at keeping their kennels clean here at the shelter! Ace and Atticus are accustomed to being left loose in the house when their owners are gone, and as long as the trash is up and there isn't any food left lying around they do fine.

　　The previous owner did note that while the dogs were chewers as pups, they just provided them with appropriate bones and chews and have never been ones to destroy the house. The two dogs are peas in a pod and get along like brothers. Ace is currently available because he was already neutered when he came to the shelter; Atticus is just awaiting his neuter surgery and then should be available after.May 7, 2022, 10:55 pm
