Adoptable Dog of the Week: Ace is Waiting For a Family

This week's adoptable pet is Ace, a Boxer mix who is also a people pleaser.

Ace, a one year old neutered male, is in need of a loving home. He's a happy dog who will sit next to the person who will rub his belly. He knows some commands and is treat-motivated. He has been with Manatee County Animal Services since Nov. 9, when his owner brought him to animal services because he wasn't allowed to have him in his rental. You can visit Ace at the county's downtown adoption center next week or today at the Palmetto adoption center for Animal Services. The downtown center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Palmetto location is open weekdays and also on Saturdays.

February is a great month to adopt. Manatee County Animal Services is offering a half-price special on all cats and dogs through February. Adoptions include spay/neuter, vaccinations, health check, microchip and current rabies certificate/tag. This adoption special is another step in the County’s plan to become a no-kill community.  

For more information, visit www.mymanatee.org/pets or call 941-742-5824. The animal services webpage features updated photos and descriptions of the pets available for adoption. Pet owners can also use the site to locate missing pets.
