A sweet Cattle Dog mix named Ace was surrendered to the Humane Society of Sonoma County in Santa Rosa, California. To make things worse: he was 19 years old.
As if being abandoned at such an advanced age wasn’t difficult enough, a devastating wildfire swept through Sonoma County soon after.
To make space for evacuees and their pets, Ace and the other shelter dogs without adopters had to be relocated. He was transferred to the Sacramento SPCA, nearly 150 miles away, where his story was about to take an unexpected turn.
