Ace

Hello friends! My name is Ace and I am a seven-month old Siberian Husky who was surrendered to the Stafford County Animal Shelter after my family had a relative moving in who was allergic. At just seven-months old, I am still very much a puppy and can be a bit standoffish and nervous of strangers. However, with some gentle encouragement I warm up and understandably this shelter environment is overwhelming. I lived with children in my previous home and am reportedly good with other dogs. I am an independent boy who is crate-trained and knows some commands! Before inquiring, please make sure you understand the care (physical and mental exercise and other requirements) that huskies need to ensure a fit in a potential home. As I am also a youngster, this is essential to making sure my next home is the forever one! As I am not neutered, there are restrictions on adoption. The shelter said to ask me to share the following with you: We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your interest in providing a loving home to a shelter pet from the Stafford County Animal Shelter. Before embarking on the adoption journey, we'd like to provide you with essential information regarding adoption criteria and the steps involved. Please take note that the pet you're interested in has not undergone spaying or neutering. Consequently, certain adoption restrictions apply. To adopt an unaltered animal from our shelter, you must be a resident of either Stafford County or one of the neighboring counties, which include: · Caroline · Culpeper · Fauquier · Fredericksburg City · King George · Prince William · Spotsylvania Should you reside outside of these specified counties, you remain eligible to adopt a pet that has already been spayed or neutered. ? We want to express our sincere gratitude for considering adoption. While you explore the possibility of bringing a shelter pet into your home, we kindly request your understanding regarding one limitation we face: our shelter does not employ a resident veterinarian. Consequently, it is crucial that you make arrangements for necessary veterinary care for your adopted pet outside of our facility. To proceed with the adoption, you will be required to present a photo ID that displays your current address. In the event that your address isn't on your ID, you may bring a current utility bill that bears your name and address, alongside your photo ID. This verification process is in place to ensure the safety and well-being of the animals under our care. ?Adoptions at our shelter operate on a first-come, first-served basis, unless otherwise specified. Please be aware that adoption services conclude 30 minutes before the shelter's closing time. ? You are more than welcome to visit the shelter during our regular hours of operation: Monday to Friday: 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturdays: 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Sundays and Holidays: Closed Our shelter's physical address is 26 Frosty Lane, Stafford, VA 22554.
