Ace Deserves His Second Chance – From My Heart to Yours

I want to tell you about Ace, a 3-year-old Rottweiler who has stolen my heart.

Ace spent most of his young life tied up outside as a guard dog. That was his whole world — no toys, no soft beds, no one to love him. When he first came to our shelter, he was so shut down that it broke my heart just to see him lying there, scared and confused.

But here’s the beautiful thing about Ace: when he gets out of the shelter, he lights up. He turns into this big, wiggly, playful boy who loves fetch, belly rubs, long walks, and just being near his person. He’s good with kids, doing well with potty training, and incredibly food-motivated — which means he’s eager to learn.

Ace isn’t perfect — none of us are. He doesn’t like other dogs, so he needs to be the only dog in the home. He doesn’t like crates or barriers, and he struggles with being left alone — sometimes chewing things when he’s anxious. But when someone is there with him, he’s calm, happy, and at peace.

He was adopted once, but it didn’t work out. Not because he’s a bad dog — but because Ace needs time. Time to learn, time to trust, and time to finally feel like he belongs.

That’s why I’m asking for your help. I want to send Ace to a sanctuary program for one year, where he can get the training, structure, and love he needs to thrive. This will give him the best chance at finding his forever home — one that truly understands him.

However, this kind of care comes at a cost — $4,500 for a year of daily care, training, and transportation.

I believe with all my heart that Ace is worth it. I believe he deserves this chance to leave his painful past behind and step into a future where he is loved and accepted exactly as he is. I believe Ace’s life is worth every penny. He has come so far, and with your help, we can give him the chance to heal, grow, and finally find a loving home.

Will you help me give Ace this chance?

Every dollar you give brings him closer to a safe, healing place and the future he’s been waiting for.

Donate today and be part of Ace’s journey.

From my heart to yours — thank you for helping me give Ace the life he deserves.

Sincerely,

Weng Horak, Founder & CEO, CARE STL
