A Second Chance For AC/DC

When AC/DC arrived at MSC, he was a broken soul. At just 5 years old, he had already endured a lifetime of unimaginable pain and suffering. Surrendered by his owner, AC/DC bore the scars of brutal abuse, including a gunshot wound that left fragments in his tiny hip, a constant reminder of his past. Terrified and traumatized, he sought refuge in his kennel, the only place where he felt remotely safe.

But hope was not lost for AC/DC. He was placed with an experienced and patient foster who dedicated nine long months to helping him heal. It was a slow and painstaking process. AC/DC was wary of men and struggled to trust anyone. His foster worked tirelessly, offering gentle encouragement and unwavering love, slowly coaxing him out of his shell.
The question lingered: would the right family ever come along for AC/DC? A family that could provide the patience, understanding, and love he so desperately needed?
Then, one day, that family did come along. They saw beyond his scars and fear, recognizing the brave heart within. They welcomed him into their home, giving him a new name: Ace. With his new family, Ace began to flourish. His days of abuse became a distant memory, replaced by the joy of a loving home. He found happiness in the simple pleasures of life—playing in the yard, basking in the sun, and even taking on the important job of keeping the chickens off the deck, a task he takes very seriously.


Ace’s transformation is a testament to the power of love, patience, and second chances. His story reminds us that even the most broken spirits can heal with the right care and compassion. We are endlessly grateful to the family who gave Ace his second chance and to all those who support our mission to rescue and rehabilitate animals in need. Watch these before and after videos of Ace!
Thank you for believing in second chances and for helping us give animals like Ace the love and life they deserve.
