Avie’s life took a turn when spring storms flooded the shelter she’d landed in, huddled there with her six pups. The puppies are off living their own lives now, but Avie is still waiting for her shot at a real home. She’s sweet but not clingy, greeting her people with wiggly enthusiasm and soaking up any affection she’s offered. She absolutely loves kids—patient and gentle, she bonds easily with young ones and loves a good snuggle or belly rub. Avie does well with other dogs, always up for a game or a friendly introduction. She’s fully housebroken, crate trained, and has never caused a bit of trouble overnight—even when left out to snooze wherever she pleases. Clever and eager to learn, she fetches, knows how to sit, and picks up new commands quickly. Avie walks calmly on a leash alongside her foster siblings and relishes playtime in the backyard. She can be shy the first few times she meets someone, but give her a steady canine friend and a bit of time, and she’ll open right up. Avie is about to turn three (born May 12th—so she’s a determined Taurus at heart), and she’s overdue for a family who will let her celebrate in comfort. Think Avie might be right for you?
