Current Status: Available

Ace's Story: Ace lost his home and ended up in a flat being crated for 12 hours a day whilst the 'rescuer' was at work. Ace needs support to develop his socialisation. Rescue Remedies offered a Rescue place saving his life. Ace is now neutered, chipped, and undergoing vaccinations. Ace came in to our Rescue Centre nr Gatwick whilst awaiting his new family.

If interested in rehoming one of our dogs, the first step is to complete and submit our ONLINE HOMING QUESTIONNAIRE. We do not discuss dogs without a homing questionnaire submission. You must be ready and we will only contact you if we have a suitable dog. For more detailed information, please see our Homing Process.

Please support our work and help our long stay dogs: Our minimum Adoption Donation is £250 (£400 for pup under 1 yr old). This supports our continuing rescue work and is non-refundable. We exist solely due to the goodwill and donations of our supporters and volunteers. Our dogs need supportive families who will offer them patience, time and tolerance whilst they settle in their new homes. Our Rescue offers all our dogs back-up for life.

Please note: Dog laws have changed, with zero public tolerance and prejudice against bull breeds and terriers in particular. Our Rescue asks new owners to keep their dog on a lead in public spaces and manage and support its encounters with new dogs and people, so as not to place the dog's life at risk. Destruction and Control Orders are commonplace nowadays.

Ace's progress through our Rescue is below.
We work with our dogs, who often reveal an evolving picture and positive skills as they build trust.

Original referral information: We were asked to help Ace as he had nowhere to go and was in a temp. situation that didn't suit his needs.

Ace came into RescueRemedies on the 10th February 23

Took Ace for a walk today and he definitely lived up to his name as we had the best walk. I got a nice gentle welcome in his kennel, on went the leads and then we were out the door so Ace could have the longest wee as bless him he holds it until he gets to go out. Ace is a lovely steady walk, no pulling at all he just ambled along taking in his new surroundings. Once back at base we had a lovely fuss in his kennel, few treats tossed towards the back of the run and a quick exit whilst he was distracted as apparently he can try to follow you.

Ace is truly a lovely boy and just desperate to find someone to love and to love him it won’t take him long to find his peeps

I find Ace a good natured dog but he can get over excited very quickly if he thinks that you're playing with him. He needs to be calmed down quickly when this happens. Fortunately he does respond when asked.

Ace walked with Peter today. They look like brothers. Both enjoyed their time out together and walked around the woods in tandem. Ace made noise at Peter on one occasion just to establish who was boss, then all was quiet on the western front.

Ace makes such a racket when he wants attention that I thought I'd take him to the secure field on one of Diane's slots. He travelled well and really enjoyed his runaround. He jumped back in the van after 20 mins but I wasn't having it, so out he came for some tunnel ratting and stick chasing.

First time taking Ace out and what a great dog!
I’m sure he greeted me with a smile with his tail wagging non-stop, didn’t jump up and when I asked him to sit so I could put the leads on he did it straight away. His a clean boy so it was straight out to do his business. He walks really well , no pulling and responds when you call his name . We had a couple of dogs pass us, about 10ft away and I asked him to sit and offered him a treat and his focus was on the treat totally. We walked along the road and the cars didn’t bother him and when a cyclist came by I again asked for a sit and offered a treat and he was great.
Lovely boy - will definitely be taking him out again.

I met and walked Ace today. What a stunning boy. He was very happy to see me and have the leads attached. Initially he was a little reluctant to leave the grounds and go down the lane, but with some gentle coaxing and a bit of bribery, we got to the end of the lane - then we were away. We had a long walk and Ace was beautifully behaved. No reaction to other dogs (we passed Breeze and 2 other groups), generally slack leads and he was fine with passing strangers and vehicles. (didn’t see cyclists or horses).
Ace was an easy, and most enjoyable, walk.
