Similar to all rescue dogs, Ace longed for the day he would meet his humans and discover unconditional affection.
He continuously waited for someone to offer him an opportunity, yet regrettably, prospective visitors overlooked him.
After enduring over 420 days at Miami-Dade Animal Services Pet Adoption & Protection Center in Florida, the four-year-old canine began to lose hope of ever having a home.
What he didn’t realize was that his fate was about to shift.
Living the Sweet Life
When Hurricane Milton arrived on October 9th, 2024, the shelter reached out to the community, asking individuals to foster the shelter animals temporarily for their safety.
Gabrielle Brudner and her family volunteered and went to the shelter.
Seeing Ace laid out on a thin blanket over a hard floor left the Brudner family devastated. Stretched out on such an uncomfortable surface for an extended time caused the dog to develop sores.
The compassionate family opted to foster him and provide the best experience of his life.
Once Ace understood he was departing the shelter, he couldn’t hold back his joy. He kept leaping with happiness.
The pup was thrilled to escape the shelter’s cacophony.
Ace embraced the affection of his foster family and quickly captured their hearts.
Gabrielle became deeply fond of the dog and hoped he would soon find the home he richly deserved.
After a few days spent with his temporary fosters, Ace transitioned to another foster home.
Gabrielle felt his absence.
Discovering that his new foster family was not a suitable match filled her with profound sadness. Thoughts of the lovable dog continued to haunt her.
Upon his return to the Miami shelter, Ace was enrolled in a two-week training and obedience course.
Ace’s Life Takes a Turn for the Better
Gabrielle was not the sole person enchanted by Ace; her family admired him as well.
Noticing how much they missed seeing the puppy’s cute face every day, the Brudner family made the decision to adopt him.
When Gabrielle’s father shared the news, she felt utterly ecstatic.
Once Ace finalized his training program, his new family came to retrieve him and welcomed him home. The joy in the dog’s heart soared high.
To ensure that Ace felt at ease in his new environment, his forever family purchased him a bed and a cozy blanket with his name stitched on it.
Ace felt elated. He lay back on his new bed with a grin on his face. He was relishing his newfound comfort and joy.
Gabrielle posted a video of his adorable reaction to his bed on TikTok. Viewers were charmed by Ace.
He was overjoyed as he could finally bask in the warmth and comfort of a home.
From a forlorn shelter pup lying on a floor while watching people walk by, Ace transformed into a joyful dog experiencing luxury.
Thank you to Gabrielle Brudner and her family for realizing Ace’s dream.
