Ace: “I am happy to have Xena because she will love me unconditionally and we can support each other.”

Tina (Ace’s wife): “I am glad that Xena will help keep Ace active.”

Ace: “We will both be active to help each other get stronger.” (Xena had a broken leg and is still recovering)

Congratulations to Ace and Xena!

SSgt. Acevedo “Ace” is an U.S. Army Veteran who was diagnosed with PTSD due to a missile blast he was in while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). “Ace” is from Fayetteville, North Carolina where he lives with his 8 year old daughter and wife Tina who he met while they were both serving in Iraq. Ace and his family adopted Xena on Friday December 5, 2009 after Ace was discharged from the DC-Veterans Affairs Hospital.

Xena is a Jack Russell mix puppy that came to the WARL from a shelter in Putnam WV with her five siblings. While she was at WARL she broke her leg playing with her brothers and sisters and had a cast on when Ace met her. Xena had her cast removed Tuesday December 2, 2009. She is an energetic and smart little pup.
