I promise you - it’s not that scary or hard to take care and love a dog like Ace 🖤

Wishing adopting a disabled dog like Ace wasn’t so intimidating to others!

I love that I get to still visit him - thank you to everyone who continues to love and help him with me! 🫶

We are headed back to his Foster who is not too far from me. She’s an angel - her entire family is! 🙏

Ace is doing great! I made a wishlist for him - the link is in the bio! 🙏

I added some photos and videos at the end of our last beach day together. He really enjoys himself wherever goes! 🏝️☀️

Ace is continuing to thrive with his incredible foster family. He gets lots of belly rubs and attention. He gets to be around children that adore him - particularly his fosters grandson who gets sad when he has to leave Ace. It makes me so happy because he really loves children. 💕🥹💕

He had a little ear infection which cleared up right away with a great natural ear drop. He really enjoyed ear massages after the drops were administered- it must be so frustrating for him to not be able to scratch his own ears when he feels an itch. So now his foster dad is spoiling him with ear massages since he loves them so much.

I was recently away for medical treatment and have been busy caring for my mom - but I’ll be able to put time aside this week to see our munchkin. I miss him dearly and will always feel like his mama - he will always be my baby. ❤️

Having Ace’s essentials donated through the wishlist will be incredibly helpful!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you to anyone who can help donate towards his care!!!

More updates to come soon! 😃

Apply to adopt 4 year old Ace today! 🖤

Yesterday was such a fun day out with Ace! 🤩

We started at the cutest and yummiest place Ragga Surf Cafe where Ace got so many compliments from their warm staff and patrons. 🌮 🌴

Then we stopped by the beach for a nice long walk and swam in the ocean! Ace did great and everyone would smile or stop to love on Ace as he passed by. 🌊 🥹🩵

We then walked around downtown St.Augustine where Ace stole so many hearts! 💘I can’t even explain how special he is and seeing him bring so much happiness to others was more than heartwarming. So many people told me how inspiring it is to see him so happy and living his best life. 😃

I wish I could visit with him everyday but so happy that he’s been with such a great foster family!

I am so fortunate to have met an angel and passionate animal right’s activist Vegan Pattie Pittie who introduced me to Rebecca who Ace is with. Rebecca is giving me updates all the time on how Ace is doing with her and his family. In typical Ace fashion is stealing their hearts as well and bringing so much joy to their family! 🫶

Ace is truly such a gem of a boy and such a sweetheart. I loved being able to spend time with him. 💎

Thank you to everyone who has helped me during our big move and transition to St.Augustine. Your love and generosity for Ace has been more than helpful to us! It means so so much to me and my family. 🙏🙏🙏

Can Ace be any cuter? 🥹

Ace is so happy at his sitters house - it’s such a huge relief!

Thank you angels for coming to our rescue and making sure he could stay close enough for me to visit him at his incredibly sweet nanny’s house this week! 🙏🙏🙏

He is doing amazing with his nanny’s beautiful toddler and the other dogs in the house!

Tomorrow, I’ll be taking him to the beach bright and early! I can’t wait to share our experience together - thank you guys so much again for allowing me to continue caring for him while we were on getting him adopted! 🌞🌊🏠

I am hoping to do two meet and greets with two potential fosters - maybe one will turn into a foster fail! 😀

Stayed tuned and thanks again for being here for us during a challenging time! ❤️🫶❤️

Everyone is doing great - we survived the long drive down!!

We’ve traded ambulance sirens for roosters crowing! 🐔 😅 I’m praying the dogs don’t kill too many 🦎 Terri’s blind ass is so quick - he’s made me cry countless times from the dead mice and rats I found outside in NYC that he killed. 😅

It’s been such a relief finding such a sweet dog nanny for Ace! I can’t wait to see him soon! I’ll visit him tomorrow or Monday! She has the cutest little baby girl too! Ace is so good with babies and children. 🥹 I am hoping to raise $1,125 for his care and needs for 3-4 weeks. 🤞

Thank you to those who have been so kind and generous to help me with him - this is by far the most stressful times in my life. Having support during this difficult time and big change means the world to me as I am to come up for air a bit and be here for my mom during her long road of recovery. My mom’s also been a trooper and I look forward to being able to spend time with her here in St.Augustine, FL.

I also can’t wait to get Ace out for exposure - where I lived in BK was very residential and not really any foot traffic for potential adopters. 🐾

Ace has been doing great with the 4 dogs he’s recently been housed with and it makes me so happy to see since he had a hard time meeting dogs on walks in NYC. It’s hard for dogs to deal with yapping and lunging dogs while on walks in close spaces so having more space and not having to pass so many yappy dogs will be a huge help for him! 🖤

I am still so crushed I didn’t get to see so many of you guys and the fur babies before I had to move! Everything has been so forced with this move but I know I’m meant to be here.

I already met a few animal activists as well and can’t wait to meet them soon! Networking Ace with them will hopefully help secure a foster or forever home!

I’ve had little time to organize a go fund me but will be putting one together by Monday!

Thank you again to those who have been so kind and compassionate! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

During housing court last Friday, I saw family members calling me at 9am and immediately knew something was wrong. As adults, I think one of our biggest fears is getting that call about a parent — and tragically, my mom has now suffered two serious falls in less than a month. My sweet, fragile mama is currently recovering from a head injury and a broken hip. 💔

At the same time, I’ve been dealing with devastating conditions in my apartment for months. My landlord monitors this page, and because of everything that has happened, it’s been difficult to openly share what we’ve been going through. Since February, I’ve spent endless hours trying to get repairs made and keep us safe from mold growth and uninhabitable living conditions. This week, I had to begin steroids because of complications from the mold exposure.

We were already being forced to move because of the apartment situation, so right now being with my mom in Florida is exactly where I need to be.

The hardest part of all of this is making sure Ace is cared for while I help my mother recover. Ace is my absolute world, and I’m trying to secure a committed, experienced dog nanny who understands special needs dogs — someone close enough that I can still spend time with him every week, take him out, and continue sharing happy updates while we patiently wait for the right person to fall in love with him and adopt him.

This move has been one of the most expensive and stressful experiences of my life, especially with the housing conditions, emergency travel, and so much uncertainty all happening at once.

I am hoping to raise $1,500 to help cover one month of Ace’s care, including:
• dog nanny care
• food & essentials
• transportation & related costs

Any support, shares, or donations would mean more to us than I can possibly express right now. Thank you for helping me keep Ace safe and loved while I take care of my mom during this incredibly difficult time. ❤️

Ace is my world and will be very close to me so I will be able to visit him 1-3 times a week and get him out! So I can’t wait to share how he’s doing in Florida! I know he will love it! Now he just needs a family to fall in love & adopt him! 😃🤞
