About Ava

Ava is a poodle mix who ended up in rescue after coming from a hoarding and backyard breeding situation in South Georgia with eight other dogs. At around five years old, Ava has settled into being a sweet, playful companion, and she's especially good with other dogs. She’s crate trained and seems to adapt well to new routines. As for cats, Ava hasn’t lived with them in her foster home, but other dogs from her group have done fine with cats, so there’s a good chance she’ll be okay too. For Ava, the right adopter will have prior hands-on poodle or doodle experience, at least one other adult dog in the house, and a fenced yard—those are non-negotiable. While Ava’s coat is poodle-like, her mix means she’s not guaranteed to be hypoallergenic. Born on April 3, Ava is an Aries: she’s likely to bring a bold and energetic vibe to her home.
