Meet Ava Liu—a larger-than-life sweetheart ready to bring joy, laughter, and plenty of cuddles into your home! Ava Liu is a 5-year-old mixed breed who absolutely loves to play! Whether it’s a game of fetch or proudly carrying around her favorite toy (her "best friend", besides you), she’s always ready for fun. She even knows how to drop it—what a smart girl! A fenced-in backyard would be a big bonus for Ava Liu, as she enjoys running and stretching her legs. She’s truly a sunshine dog—she loves warm, beautiful days but prefers to stay cozy indoors when it’s raining (no dancing in the rain for this girl!). When playtime winds down, Ava Liu turns into a world-class snuggle bug. She’s happiest curled up close, soaking up all the love you have to give. She’s very treat-motivated and eager to learn, which makes her a great candidate for continued training or brushing up on her basics. One fun fact—she’s not a fan of peanut butter (we know, surprising!), but she’ll happily accept just about any other treat you offer. Ava Liu is a fantastic family dog and does well with kids of all ages. She has also participated in playgroups at the shelter and has done well with other dogs, though she can be a bit selective—she prefers respectful dog friends who give her space and time to warm up. If you have another dog, bring them along for a proper introduction! If this affectionate, playful, and lovable girl sounds like the perfect addition to your family, come meet her at SPCA Cincinnati. Just ask for Ava Liu—she’s a staff favorite, and it’s easy to see why! Hello! My name is Ava! I am a 5 year old mixed breed dog. I live as an indoor dog. I live in a small crate right now, but I would love to live at your home! I love other dogs and play well with them. I also really love playing in the fenced in yard here! I am also pretty smart- I know the tricks "sit" and "paw." My birthday is October 24th! I am a big dog but I get along well with kids! If you have a cat, I might need to meet them first to make sure it is a good match. Something you should know about me is that I do not really like the rain or water. Come meet me today! I hope you will be my fur-ever home! Love, Ava Written by Mr. Martin and Ms. McGillis’ Kindergarten Class at Loveland Early Childhood Center
