About Avory

Avory is a large hound mix who gets along well with cats, making him a good fit for households with feline companions. The rescue encourages meet-and-greets with any resident dogs before adoption, especially those close in size. As with any dog, it's best to take introductions slow and supervise new interactions, particularly with cats and children. Behavior seen in the shelter gives you only a glimpse of who Avory is; in a home, routines and personalities often shift. He might need some time, patience, and training to feel settled, especially in a new environment. Shelter staff recommend gradually introducing Avory to your routines, keeping things calm as he adjusts. Moving is stressful for any dog, but with three days—a few weeks—a few months, most dogs settle in and show their truest selves. Avory is a sponsored dog, so his adoption fee has already been covered. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
