Ava is the definition of a lap dog for those who love a little extra weight—she settles right in and soaks up attention. She’s naturally curious and sweet, though she tends to be jumpy and a bit anxious with new people or environments at first. Once comfortable, she turns into a busy, active companion who loves playful chase games and wants to be close by. Ava will thrive in a calm, structured home that can invest in confidence-building, positive routines, and basic training to help her feel secure. She’s best matched with adults or families with kids age 10 and up, given her jumpy nature. Ava has shown she can greet other dogs with friendly interest, though she starts off nervous. Anyone patient enough to see her blossom will get a nonstop cuddle buddy. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
