Ava's Story

Ava is a 7-year-old girl who's life wasn't an easy one before coming to us. She spent years living outdoors and was used for breeding, so she's still learning that people can be kind and that life can be comfortable. Her owner also left her chained outside while they were away for an extended period of time. <br/><br/>Every day, we see her confidence continue to grow. She's especially motivated by treats and will happily sit like a pro for a snack and for the camera she's a very photogenic girly. <br/><br/>Ava previously lived with other dogs, though she has not yet been dog tested with us. She is looking for a patient family willing to let her settle in at her own pace. In return, you'll get the chance to watch a dog who's overcome a difficult past discover what it means to simply be loved.

We do require a meet and greet for those who have a multi-dog home. Adoption fees: Dogs $40/ Cats $20/ Puppies (1 year and younger) $80 with an approved application for unaltered pets.
