Ava is a 7-year-old sweetheart who takes all the stress out of having a family dog. She’s completely house trained, settles easily into routines, and you can trust her alone in the house for hours at a time. For families who don’t have time for the chaos of puppy training, Ava’s calm, mature nature is a relief. She naps while you’re away but lights up for a game of tug or fetch and soaks up every bit of affection. When it’s time for a walk, Ava travels at her own pace. She weighs around 60 lbs, so she’ll need someone comfortable with a medium-sized dog and a gentle but steady leash hand. Ava is very affectionate with children and famously generous with her kisses. Since she’s on a hydrolyzed protein diet for food allergies, older kids who understand not to sneak her table scraps are best. Ava needs to be the only dog in the house. Her experience with cats is unknown. She’s ready to fill your couch and your life with comfort, loyalty, and easy companionship. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
