Meet Ava! Born around December 2018, this calm, soulful girl weighs around 54 pounds currently, and will likely be 65-70 pounds when she finishes filling out. Look into her soft, golden brown eyes, and you’ll fall madly in love!
Ava was found abandoned in a field with another dog who had already passed away. Our sweet girl was emaciated, had a broken knee, and a gash in the hard pallet of her mouth. Her survival was questionable.
This girl has spunk though! She knows there’s a much better life waiting for her! She had several surgeries and has healed completely. She had six teeth removed, so her tongue slips out a tad when she’s tired. She’s got an Elvis Presley smile that will crack you up!
Even though she still has a wee bit of a limp, that sure doesn’t slow her down when she’s in the mood to race around the yard or chase the other pups! She needs a big, playful doggy companion in her forever home. If you don’t already have one for her, you can also adopt a new buddy for her from us!
Ava is usually pretty laid back, but gets wound up and silly, flinging toys and prancing for her dinner, and does she ever love a treat!
She is house trained, kennel trained, and does well on a leash. She enjoys a ride, unfortunately, she gets a bit carsick. She responds very well to general commands. And she can spell - she knows “t-r-e-a-t!”
Ava has been through a terrible ordeal, yet has been a calm, trusting girl through it all. She’s been a pleasure for her foster family to care for, and they know you’ll continue that love for her.
She’s looking for a trustworthy family to join her in spending long days swimming, laying by the pool, laying on the sunbathing deck, basking in the sun, enjoying life. She would do best in a one-story home where she doesn’t have to go up and down many stairs.
