Black Labrador Retriever and Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Shelby, Michigan

Meet Ace

Ace is a 6-year-old Lab/Pitbull mix with a heart full of joy and a tail that rarely stops wagging. Weighing in at 55 lbs, he’s the perfect medium-sized companion for both playtime and chill time.

This happy guy is a fetch enthusiast—seriously, if there’s a ball nearby, Ace is already halfway to retrieving it. Toys are his love language, and he’s perfectly content entertaining himself when you’re busy. Give him a good chew bone, and he’s in his element, happily settled and relaxed.

Ace gets along well with laid-back, low-energy dogs, though he’d prefer a proper introduction first to make sure everyone vibes. He may also be able to live with cats, especially with slow, thoughtful introductions that let him adjust at his own pace.

If you’re looking for a playful, easygoing companion who knows how to enjoy the simple things in life, Ace might just be your perfect match.
