Ava

Ava came to us out of Miami where she showed up with her mama, Reese, at a home looking for help. Both of them have been very grateful after being dumped in that rural area left to survive on their own. They even took a ride via private jet to Tampa and loved every second of the First Class treatment thanks to Pilots N Paws! Ava is maybe 1 year old and she was shy with people at first but not today! She has come a really long way and is a wonderful dog!!<br/><br/>Ava REALLY loves playing with other dogs, especially a little female chihauha mix at her first foster! She is very athletic and watching her run and jump is an amazing site to see. Now she lives near Columbus, OH with her foster family and spends her days playing with the pack, cuddling with ther dog buddies, and lounging around! She has been good around kids but we know she would knock small children over so only bigger kids in homes would be an option. As far as Cats....she is in training and making good progress so stay tuned!<br/><br/>Ava needs an active home and one that has a dog with her high energy level to play with. Other dogs have really helped build her confidence around people and we can see that it is important to her to have a playful dog friend. She has not been around cats, other animals or kids so we prefer a home without small children. We think Ava is going to be a fun addition to a new home and we have enjoyed seeing her personality come out over the weeks she has been with us! <br/><br/>We think she would be really good at agility training because she is very athletic and has the right energy along with being very witty! She definitely needs a big yard to run and loves having fur friends more than anything!<br/><br/>Some words from her foster mom below!!<br/><br/>She is wild when excited and that can be annoying but she is still a puppy. She is obedient when you get serious with her though. She hasn't been around very small kids, I suspect the worry would be her tail (I'll explain lol) and how fast she is. Her tail is like a leather whip so you have to be aware of it! She takes a bit to warm up but once she does she will give lots of affection. I would say she is closer to dogs than people, but would do fine as an only dog too. She is super active and to see her run is a spectacular thing! We are super active, but not runners and I think she would be amazing as a running partner. She is so smart and learns fast. She can jump crazy high! She will bark to alert, but once I tell her it's ok or leave it she stops. Loves toys so much! Can destroy one with a squeaker in 15 mins! She would do amazing with a job or some higher level training/ agility. She is excellent with other dogs, even tolerant of disrespectful dogs however if a dog starts a fight she wants to finish it even if that's a month later when her and that dog meet again. Like a Dogo she holds a grudge! She had a tangle with a dog that is staying with me and even though they can be around eachother without fighting I have to watch her body language and correct her if they get some serious posture going. The other dog isn't committed to the beef so that helps. She really has a great temperament and has to be pushed pretty far to react that way though.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting our Ava girl, please apply here.<br/>https://dcdogos.org/adopt
