Springfield, IL  (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Meet Ace, the tennis ball-obsessed 2-year-old pit bull mix who’s ready to bring endless fun and love into your life! This goofy guy will carry a tennis ball everywhere he goes—it’s his absolute favorite thing! Ace loves to play, so if you’re up for a game of fetch, he’s your guy. But don’t be fooled by his energy—when the game’s over, Ace is all about snuggles and will happily curl up next to you for some quality cuddle time.

He’s great with some dogs, though he’s a little selective about who he befriends, so slow introductions are key. As for cats, Ace hasn’t met one yet, so a careful intro would be best if there’s a feline friend in your home. Ace is smart, playful, and full of potential, but he’s looking for an experienced owner who can help him with a little guidance and training to be his best self. If you’re ready for a fun-loving, ball-chasing, snuggle buddy, Ace is waiting for you to throw the first ball!!
