Ava's Story
Nobody knows how to wear a hat quite like I do, don't you think? Hi there, I'm Ava! A sweet and silly girl that can't wait for her forever family. Thankfully, all the kind people at the shelter have given me so much to be happy about. I've learned what it means to be house trained, how to share my toys, and I've experienced what it means to be loved, really and truly loved by a human. <br/><br/>I want so much to trust every human I meet right away. But I need a little time to get to know someone and really develop a sense of connection and love for that human. The shelter experience lends itself to a lot of unfamiliar people needing to interact with me often, and I get nervous and scared around all that attention. I prefer slower introductions, getting to know the person, and finding that I can trust that no one wants to hurt me. Once there is patience and understanding between us, I'm a little doll. I've got quite the personality, and I want so much to be a part of a family and feel included in activities.<br/><br/>I am also kennel trained, and I like to sleep in my quiet little spot. I've been soaking up the love in a foster home recently. When I'm not snuggled up with Foster Dad, I enjoy playing with my toys and snoozing the day way. I absolutely adore squeaky toys, and I'm a big fan of car rides, too. Starbuck's Pup Cup anyone?<br/><br/>Before I fully commit to a family, I'd really love to meet everyone to ensure we all have that special connection. Since I'm still learning that new people are indeed trustworthy, I would appreciate older kids who know how to be gentle with me. Love is a two-way street, you know. I can't wait to shower my new family with endless love, loyalty, and lots of joy. Together, we'll make beautiful memories, and I promise to be the best companion anyone could ask for.<br/><br/>Love from Ava
