FAREWELL ACE

ACE

In October of 2020, Ace came into rescue.   His owner had surrendered him to another rescue and we took him into ours.

Ace had some medical problems and we took care of them.   

He wasn't on a good diet and nutrition is so important (no grain free foods!).   

Ace grabbed the hearts of his mom and dad, Betsy and Justin.

He was definitely a daddy's boy.   

Ace was laid back and so sweet.

He loved to spend time just looking out the door and watching the neighborhood.

Here he was with his friend, Buddy.   Buddy died in December and his dad had said, "For anyone who has ever lost a dog, my heart breaks for you. You will never understand the pain until it happens to you." I know so many of you understand this.

Ace was 11 years old and had a slight heart murmur.

Over the week-end, he began to have trouble breathing, so he was taken to the emergency room.

He was given tests and put in an oxygen kennel.   His lungs had almost filled with fluid-- we don't know why it happened so quickly, but it did.   He had cardiogenic pulmonary edema.  He was in heart failure.   Everything was tried to save him, but he couldn't breathe out of the oxygen kennel.  

His mom and dad held him as they let him go-- the hardest but kindest thing they could do.   Run free now, sweet boy.   You were so loved.
