Ace Your Scruffy Sidekick has the face of a dog cast in a Wes Anderson movie- wonderfully scruffy, full of character, and ready to steal every scene. But his signature move is even better than his face. Ace gives hugs, gently wrapping himself around your leg for a little closeness while hitting you with those adoring puppy dog eyes. It’s a very sweet connection from a boy who is happy to be yours. Go watch Ace on YouTube to see that leading-man face, his gentle love, and your potential future sidekick making friends wherever he goes. Copy and paste his YouTube link into your browser: Ace is estimated to be three years old, and we believe he’s a Terrier mix, though his age and breed are our best guesses. He’s a small-to-medium scruffy guy with so much charm and personality. Ace has a knack for winning over other dogs. Big dogs, little dogs, and even some dogs who are usually selective about their friends have enjoyed meeting him. There’s no secret handshake that anyone has spotted—just really good dog manners. He gives others room, doesn’t push for attention, and is happy to play when his new friend wants to join in. He could be a lovely addition to a home with other dogs, especially companions who appreciate his friendly, respectful approach. He could also be happy as your one-and-only, with loving people, outings together, and plenty of time to be included. Ace enjoys canine company, but being somebody’s adored little sidekick would suit him beautifully, too. His charm even worked on the house cat. During their introduction, Ace was respectful and gentle, and the cat seemed interested in playing with him. Ace kept things polite and easily moved along before the interaction got too busy. That meeting was an encouraging glimpse of his potential to share a home with a dog-savvy cat. Ace would make a fun companion for someone who loves having their dog by theri side for the everyday stuff. A little adventure, a little visiting, and a cozy spot near you afterward—he has the sweet, sociable personality to enjoy it all. And when the day slows down, there’s a very good chance snuggles and sweetness are on the agenda. If a scruffy face and a soft heart are your weakness, Ace is ready to work his charm on you.
