Ava was found alone but is thriving in her foster home after a rough start. Born in late August, she greets each day with tail wags and bold energy. She knows when she needs rest and puts herself down for naps or bedtime—smart for such a young pup. Ava is confident, clearly loves life, and quickly bonds with people. She’s likely to grow into a large dog, well over 65 pounds, with a striking bicolor short coat and expressive eyes. This girl needs a house with a securely fenced yard—apartments and homes without fences are not the right environment for her. Ava is happiest when cuddled up with her people, and she’s quick to give kisses. If you’re in North or South Carolina and can offer her the space and attention she needs, she’ll bring joyful energy and warmth into your home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
